Backyard Natureplay

Oakland, CA

This Oakland residential project showcases a masterclass in nature play by transforming salvaged Deodar Cedar and Eucalyptus into an immersive, sensory-focused backyard landscape. Our team curated a diverse mix of materials, including precision-cut cedar blocks and unique "codominant" Eucalyptus stumps, to encourage tactile exploration and connection to local timber. By repurposing these urban trees, we turned salvaged material into a high-value playground that celebrates the raw, natural geometry of the California environment.

Outdoor BBQ Paneling

Using deconstructed, salvaged old-growth redwood, we created paneling for this private resident’s outdoor BBQ. This is the same wood we used in our earlier featured project for Fieldwork Brewing, ensuring no wood goes to waste. Nick used a matte finish on the wood to protect it from the outdoor elements.

How urban infrastructure can be both ecologically functional and a model for the circular economy. At the core of this project is a custom swale system and decking designed to capture and treat stormwater runoff. We provided custom-milled salvaged Monterey cypress for the site’s monumental blocks and decking. The trees were originally removed during an SFPUC project, diverted from the waste system.

12’ Mosaic Art Sculpture

Emeryville, CA

One of the more unique public art installations we contributed to is this 12-foot-tall mosaic sculpture for the Rotten City Cultural District (RCCD) in Emeryville. The concept was to encapsulate the district’s slogan, 'Rotten City builds fertile ground,' by utilizing the various elements that compose an urban environment—breaking them apart and reassembling them to create a natural, cohesive image.

Through CMG Landscape Architecture, Bay Area Redwood was able to lend its expertise on what locally sourced urban wood materials could work for the Marin Academy courtyard project. This project is part of Marin Academy’s Vision 2050 plan to create beautiful communal spaces around the campus. Working alongside CMG Landscape Architecture and BUILD Group Inc, we provided sustainably sourced Monterey Cypress Decking for this outdoor seating area, a material deeply rooted in the local landscape. The cypress provides a warm and bright color when freshly cut and oiled and then oxidizes with a beautiful silver patina that shimmers in the sun and will continue to provide beauty and function to the space.
