Great Landscaping Projects: The
Best Lumber
Yards on sloping lots or hillsides can be made
more functional with McFarland Cascade
®
products. McFarland Cascade
®
products come
in a variety of sizes and grades to meet all of
your needs. Our 8' treated timbers with the “For
Landscape Use Only” tagged product, are
excellent for light duty raised garden beds and
some stepped walls. For walls supporting heavy
loads or retaining significant amounts of earth,
it is recommended that local codes be consulted
and consideration should be given to getting
professional structural guidance. Structurally
rated timbers are available through McFarland
Cascade
®
even if they might not be on the shelf
at your local retailer. Cherrytone ties make
quick work of smaller earth retaining projects.
For utility earth retention and patio paving,
recycled railroad ties may be your best choice.
McFarland Cascade
®
treated framing lumber
can also be used to construct durable benches,
planters, trellises and other garden projects.
