Construction-Grade Products
Hardwood
When doing foundation work, you typically use construction-grade hardwood, or lagging and shoring, to help retain the dirt walls created by digging into the earth. When the foundation of a building is being created, this product is not only functional and aids in the creation of the foundation, but it also acts as something that safely protects a job site and its workers by retaining those dirt walls.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is lagging and shoring?
Lagging and shoring is mixed hardwood used to support excavation and other temporary protection applications.
What kind of wood is used in lagging and shoring lumber?
It is usually mixed hardwood, which consists of oak, maple, gum, hickory, and poplar.
Can you deliver it to me on-site?
Yes, we can.
Why is lumber available with random width?
Random width is commonly used for temporary protection because of the relatively lower cost associated with it. In most applications, there is a particular area that needs to be covered, so the width of the lumber does not often matter. This lumber tends to be cheaper, as well.
Does mixed hardwood have other uses beyond lagging and shoring?
Yes, it can be used for crane mats, deck mats, pallets, and ties. The higher-grade lumber that is produced from mixed hardwood trees is often used for furniture and cabinetry.
