Facing the harsh reality of deforestation and the sad fate of many trees, the team behind San Diego Urban Timber is dedicated to making a difference.
The company's operation revolves around the collection of locally sourced timber, often from trees that have been deemed unsuitable for their environment. This timber, especially eucalyptus, is celebrated for its unique aesthetic and structural properties. They understand that these fallen trees hold sentimental value in their communities and indeed have a rich history; they could be the childhood site of memories or remnants of local landscapes. San Diego Urban Timber aims to instill awareness about these trees' significance and promote a culture of respect and appreciation for urban forestry.
With an eclectic mix of exotic hardwoods and a design-build approach, the company crafts custom furniture, outdoor spaces, and unique art pieces that resonate with their clients’ needs while being environmentally conscious. Additionally, their full-service wood shop fosters innovation, offering individuals the tools and resources they need to create and realize their ideas.
The company also plays an active role in community engagement through events and partnerships with organizations like TreePeople and Vibrant Cities Lab, further enhancing urban forestry initiatives. San Diego Urban Timber isn't just about creating functional art; it's about a lifestyle that cherishes sustainability, individuality, and community collaboration. At the heart of their mission is a deep-rooted commitment to stewarding the planet's resources while crafting pieces that inspire and connect people to the natural world.
