- Patios: Create a stunning outdoor living space for entertaining, dining, or relaxing.
- Driveways: Enhance curb appeal with a strong and visually appealing surface that withstands vehicle traffic.

Redwood lumber, renowned for its beauty, durability, and resistance to decay, is a preferred choice for a variety of construction and design projects. Valley Redwood, a premier supplier in the Sacramento area, offers a range of redwood grades to meet the diverse needs of its customers. Understanding these grades can help you select the right type of lumber for your specific project, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
Heartwood vs. Sapwood
Redwood is classified into two main types based on the tree’s age and location of the wood. Heartwood is the older, denser wood found at the center of the tree, known for its deep, rich color and exceptional resistance to insects and decay. Sapwood, on the other hand, is the younger, outer layer of the tree and tends to be lighter in color and less resistant to decay.
Redwood Grades
- Clear All Heart
- Characteristics: This is the highest grade of redwood, consisting entirely of heartwood. It is free from knots and other imperfections, offering a smooth, uniform appearance.
- Uses: Ideal for premium projects where aesthetics are paramount, such as high-end decking, siding, and trim.
- Clear
- Characteristics: Similar to Clear All Heart, but may include both heartwood and sapwood. It is also free of knots but may have minor blemishes.
- Uses: Suitable for applications where appearance is important, such as exterior siding and interior paneling.
- Heart B
- Characteristics: Contains only heartwood but allows for some knots and imperfections. This grade offers a balance between aesthetic appeal and cost.
- Uses: Often used for outdoor structures like fences, decks, and garden furniture where durability is crucial, but some natural character is acceptable.
- B Grade
- Characteristics: Includes both heartwood and sapwood with knots and other imperfections. It is more economical than higher grades but still maintains the natural beauty of redwood.
- Uses: Commonly used for garden boxes, outdoor furniture, and general construction where a rustic look is desired.
- Construction Common
- Characteristics: This grade includes a mix of heartwood and sapwood with larger knots and blemishes. It is the most economical grade.
- Uses: Suitable for structural applications where appearance is less critical, such as framing and support structures.
- Deck Heart and Deck Common
- Characteristics: These grades are specifically selected for decking. Deck Heart is all heartwood, while Deck Common includes both heartwood and sapwood with knots.
- Uses: Designed for use in decking, providing a durable and attractive surface.
Choosing the Right Grade
Selecting the right grade of redwood lumber from Valley Redwood depends on your project’s requirements. For high-visibility projects, Clear All Heart or Clear grades are ideal. For structural or less visible applications, Construction Common offers a cost-effective solution. Understanding these grades ensures you get the best value and performance for your specific needs.
Valley Redwood’s knowledgeable staff can help guide you in choosing the right grade for your project, ensuring you achieve both beauty and durability.

Redwood along with pertaining legendary looks for your construction project can make an impact ecologically contributing to a sustainable future. Local lumberyards have been increasingly cutting back on composite lumber. It is important to point out that composite is just a fancy word for plastic, which is incredibly bad for the environment. Besides often being a cheaper alternative initially, composites offer little upside as a building material, especially for the life of your project.
We have always advocated getting the word out about green building practices in the construction Industry. Long after you have tired of your composite deck, it won’t be recycled; rather it will be put in a landfill. Composite decking manufacturers have stopped using the term maintenance-free when describing their products because of many costly lawsuits.
Environmental Benefits of Redwood Decking
According to the California Redwood Association (CRA), redwood is grown and harvested in accordance with the highest environmental standards in the world, tapping the sun for energy and soaking in California’s famed North Coast fog. Roughly 90 percent of all product-producing redwood forests are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council or Sustainable Forestry Initiative as sources of environmentally-sound building materials. In addition, redwood uses 97% less energy to produce than plastic.
But that’s not all—redwoods also excel at reducing carbon emissions. As they grow, the trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, storing it in the wood and releasing oxygen into the air. When the trees are harvested, the carbon they had captured remains stored: an average redwood deck carries 500 pounds of carbon. Choosing redwood as a building material can reduce a homeowner’s carbon footprint. In addition, when lumber is milled into decking and other products, the bark, sawdust, and scraps are collected and used to produce biomass energy. In terms of sustainability, you can’t go wrong!
Redwood Deck Longevity
Premium woods like red cedar and redwood offer comparable levels of durability and longevity, lasting an average of 20 years. Both woods are naturally resistant to shrinking and warping, to boot. The primary difference between the two woods is color: redwoods range from light to dark red, while cedar hues run from light brown to salmon pink.
Redwood Deck Aesthetics
The main reason that builders and homeowners are returning to redwood, however, is aesthetics; redwood possesses a rich character and natural beauty that enhances the exterior of any home. It creates an aura of warmth and luxury, adding value while at the same time, providing an ecologically sound alternative for the environmentally conscious consumer.
Make sure you so research before deciding a building material for your project, you do will find that Valley Redwood lumber is the perfect choice in Sacramento.

Now that you have spent time, energy, and money on your new redwood deck, the next step to consider is maintenance. Proper care and maintenance can extend the life of your deck and help keep its natural beauty. Several factors can contribute to the wood looking dull, grey, and weathered. Years of sun, rain, and extreme temperatures can make your deck look older than it is. Simple measures can alleviate the affects of these factors.
The first thing you should consider is a proper stain/sealer when the deck is new. This will give the deck the best start it can have and will make the maintenance in the future even easier. There are many sealer and stains available, so make sure you select one that is formulated for redwood. Many tints are available depending on personnel choice and the desired look. Because it is an open-celled structure and it contains little or no pitch or resins, redwood accepts and holds a variety of finishes from clear stain to solid color paints. To achieve a lasting redwood color, use a water-repellent, oil-based deck stain.
When it comes time to clean your deck, a few simple steps should be taken to assure long lasting beauty. Depending on how long it has been since your deck was cleaned, you may have to apply a cleaner, scrub with a stiff brush, and rinse with water, or you can lightly clean with a pressure washer. If you are pressure washing, be cautious and use a wide fan spray and not a concentrated jet spray as this can carve grooves in your deck. Consider lightly sanding the railings before sealing to keep a nice smooth surface your hands will thank you for.
After you have thoroughly cleaned your redwood, make sure it is dry. Sometimes it might take a few days to completely dry. Once dry, you are ready for sealer. Sealers can be applied with a brush, roller, or spray. You will have better coverage with a brush or roller as some of the spray will simply get lost in the air.
Before you start your cleaning and sealing process, give us a call and we can recommend which method will be the best for your deck and we will help you choose the right stain or sealer. Done right, you will only have to do this every 2 or 3 years. Valley Redwood is happy to help you keep all your redwood decks, gazebos, and furniture looking great for many years.
