About Redwood Pergolas
California Redwood represents the premium choice for wood pergola construction, offering exceptional natural beauty, outstanding durability, and the rich heritage of America's finest lumber. Dream Decks constructs redwood pergolas for discerning Minneapolis–Saint Paul homeowners who appreciate this remarkable wood's unique characteristics.
Redwood's heartwood contains natural tannins that provide superior resistance to rot, decay, and insects—often outlasting cedar in demanding applications. The wood's straight grain, dimensional stability, and minimal shrinkage make it ideal for pergola construction where precise joinery and lasting beauty matter. Redwood's distinctive color ranges from light pink to deep reddish-brown, creating striking visual impact.
Our redwood pergola construction sources responsibly harvested California Redwood through certified suppliers. We use Construction Heart or Clear All Heart grades for structural and exposed components, ensuring consistent quality and appearance. The wood's excellent workability allows intricate decorative details and precise joint fitting. Like cedar, redwood can be left natural to weather gracefully or finished to maintain its original coloring.
