10 Mar Sustainable Timber Choices for Spring Building and Landscaping

As the days grow longer and the temperatures start to rise, homeowners and professionals alike begin planning their spring building and landscaping projects. Whether you’re refreshing an outdoor space, replacing worn-out timber structures, or starting from scratch, choosing sustainable timber is essential—not only for the longevity of your project but also for the environment.

At Brookridge Timber, we take sustainability seriously. As a leading Devon timber trader and timber supplier, we ensure our products are responsibly sourced and treated for durability. If you’re looking for timber decking, fencing, sleepers, or structural timber for your next project, we have high-quality, sustainable options to help you build with confidence.

Why Choose Sustainable Timber for Spring Projects?

Sustainability in construction and landscaping is becoming increasingly important, and timber is one of the most eco-friendly materials available when sourced responsibly. Certified timber supports sustainable forestry, reduces environmental impact, and ensures forests are replanted for future generations.

At Brookridge Timber, we offer FSC®-certified and PEFC-certified timber, meaning the wood comes from responsibly managed forests that protect biodiversity, local communities, and ecosystems. By choosing our sustainable timber, you’re making an environmentally conscious choice while ensuring long-lasting materials for your project.

Timber Decking: A Sustainable Choice for Outdoor Spaces

Spring is the perfect time to refresh or install timber decking, providing a natural, stylish, and practical addition to gardens, patios, and commercial outdoor spaces. Our decking is sourced from slow-grown European softwood, offering strength and durability while being an environmentally responsible choice.

Our pressure-treated decking boards are a key feature in our sustainable timber range. Treated using an ISO 9001 audited process, they offer long-term protection against decay, insect attack, and moisture damage—ensuring they last through all seasons. Whether you’re upgrading an existing deck or creating a brand-new outdoor entertainment area, our sustainably sourced decking is the perfect choice.

Timber Sleepers: A Versatile Landscaping Essential

Timber sleepers are one of the most adaptable landscaping materials, used in garden borders, raised beds, retaining walls, and even garden furniture. At Brookridge Timber, we stock both new and reclaimed timber sleepers, offering an environmentally friendly solution for garden projects.

Reclaimed sleepers are particularly popular for their rustic, weathered appearance while also being a great way to reuse timber that has already served its purpose elsewhere. Meanwhile, new sleepers are pressure-treated for longevity, making them a practical, sustainable investment.

Timber Fencing: Strength and Sustainability Combined

Spring is a common time for homeowners and landowners to repair, replace, or install new timber fencing, especially after winter weather has taken its toll. Choosing sustainably sourced fencing materials ensures you’re investing in long-lasting products while supporting responsible forestry.

At Brookridge Timber, we offer closeboard and overlap timber fence panels, featheredge boards, timber fence posts, and rails, all made from high-quality, responsibly sourced wood. Our pressure-treated timber fencing ensures additional resistance to rot and pests, increasing the lifespan of your fence and reducing the need for replacements over time.

Structural Timber for Spring Construction

If your spring projects involve pergolas, sheds, outbuildings, or other garden structures, structural timber is a key material. Our sustainably sourced C16 and C24 graded carcassing timber ensures strength and stability for a wide range of construction projects.

Our timber is slow-grown, meaning it has a denser grain for improved durability. Plus, we offer high-pressure and low-pressure treated options, ensuring that whatever your project, the wood remains resistant to moisture, fungal decay, and insects.
