When evaluating outdoor furniture, you’re probably going to look for similar characteristics that you value in indoor seating and surface areas, such as comfort, style, and durability. The biggest difference, however, is that outdoor furniture has to endure exposure to extreme weather conditions. Using the right kind of wood material for outdoor furniture will save you a lot of money and headaches in the years to come. In our article we will guide you through the best type of wood for outdoor furniture, Black Locust. https://lnkd.in/djXR5Xvj

Planting the Future: Black Locust Lumber’s Reforestation Program🌳 This year, we continued our commitment to sustainability through our reforestation program in the EU. By planting Black Locust trees, we’re not just replenishing forests—we’re actively working to combat climate change, restore biodiversity, and create a more sustainable future for generations to come. Reforestation plays a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide, enhancing ecosystems, and providing cleaner air. Black Locust trees are particularly valuable for their ability to thrive in challenging environments and improve soil quality, making them a key player in ecosystem restoration. We believe in giving back to the environment that sustains us. This year’s planting is another step toward building a greener, healthier planet.

At Black Locust Lumber, every day is a step towards sustainability. On October 24th, we’re joining the global call to protect our planet and embrace eco-friendly practices. Discover how our products contribute to greener urban landscapes and a healthier future for all. Together, we can build a more sustainable world—one project at a time 🌱

Wood does more than just look beautiful—it supports better health🌿 At Black Locust Lumber, our natural, untreated wood products improve indoor air quality, reduce allergens, and create calming environments. From homes to schools, Black Locust wood promotes wellness for both people and the planet.

The John W. McCormack Federal Post Office and Court House, nestled in Boston, Massachusetts, showcases innovative sustainable design completed in 2009. Utilizing Black Locust Lumber's robust and eco-friendly decking solutions, the project transformed outdoor spaces and terraces into functional, enduring, and visually striking areas. A standout feature is the McCormack Building’s 11,115 sf GreenGrid extensive green roof, which captures stormwater runoff and uses a solar-powered pump for irrigation, eliminating the need for potable water. This innovative approach helped the project achieve the prestigious LEED-NC Gold certification, setting a benchmark for sustainable materials in federal buildings. Project Highlight: John W.
