Why Choose Pressure Treated Landscape Timbers?
Pressure treated timbers are infused with preservatives that help them resist rot, termites, and fungal decay, making them ideal for outdoor use in Georgia’s humid climate. These timbers are especially beneficial for areas that experience a lot of rain or ground moisture. With proper installation, they can last for many years, saving you time and money on repairs and replacements.
Top DIY Projects Using Landscape Timbers
What can you build with landscape timbers? These wooden supplies are extremely versatile.
1. Garden and Retaining Walls
Use timbers to build raised garden beds or low retaining walls that help shape and define your yard. Whether you’re leveling out a slope in Suwanee or adding vegetable beds in Alpharetta, treated timbers hold up well under soil pressure and moisture.
2. Pathway Steps and Borders
Create steps on a sloped yard or edge a gravel or mulch path with landscape timbers. Their uniform size and strength make them ideal for adding both visual appeal and stability in high-traffic areas of your lawn.
3. Fencing and Enclosures
Build rustic fencing, trash can enclosures, or compost bin borders with these timbers. It’s a cost-effective way to create separation or hide unsightly features while still blending in with the natural look of your landscape.
4. Raised Flower Beds
Perfect for adding visual interest and organizing your planting zones. Raised beds built from pressure treated timbers not only look great—they also protect your plants from foot traffic, erosion, and pets.
5. Outdoor Furniture and Benches
If you’re handy with a saw and drill, timbers can be used to create sturdy outdoor seating, picnic tables, or potting benches. These rugged builds can handle Georgia’s changing seasons without falling apart.
6. Parking Bumpers and Driveway Edging
In areas like Buford or Dawsonville where gravel driveways are popular, timbers can act as parking bumpers or define driveway edges. They help prevent erosion and keep everything in place after heavy rains while defining parking areas to protect your lawn and landscaping.
7. Playground Borders
If you’re building a backyard playground or play area, landscape timbers make ideal borders for mulch, rubber chips, or pea gravel. They help contain the play surface and reduce the mess that ends up in the lawn.
