Local, state, and federal government customers have special wood-preserving needs, and nobody does a better job of meeting those needs than J. H. Baxter. For example, our special expertise is acknowledged by those who specify wood for railroad ties, bridges, soundwalls, guardrail posts, and structural supports. And we supply treated-wood products for foot bridges, retaining walls, and light standards that keep parks, recreational areas, and golf courses beautiful without interfering with the natural landscape or wildlife.
Bringing out the strength and beauty of wood
It's well known that no building material comes close to wood for providing the warmth, beauty, and comfort that are so important to people who enjoy public space. But few people realize that the ratio of strength to weight for pressure-treated wood is much higher than that of concrete, iron, or even steel - making it one of the most efficient building materials in the world. In fact, public structures built decades ago with properly treated wood show no loss of structural integrity from decay or insect attack.
The cost-effective choice for public use
Treated wood also has a special value that you can't get from any other building material: it can be continually recycled. That means wood products removed from service - like old structural supports - can be reborn as landscape materials for golf course path liners, retaining walls, and parking barriers.
