Cedar is naturally rot‑resistant and typically lasts 10–15 years outdoors with basic care. Untreated pine may last 2–4 years; pressure‑treated can last longer but may leach chemicals into soil. Annual re‑application of Garden‑Seal helps your planters last as long as possible.
No. Cedarhaus uses only Garden‑Seal non‑toxic wood sealant. It preserves cedar’s natural look, repels moisture, and stays safe for edible gardens—no stains or paints.
Yes—every project is custom. Odd sizes, extra‑deep beds, narrow spaces, corner fits, matching trellises—send your dimensions and Jake will build it to fit.
Cedar is surprisingly light compared to hardwoods or pressure‑treated lumber. Most boxes can be moved by one or two people, especially before soil is added.
Cedar + Garden‑Seal performs well on its own. Some clients add breathable liners to further protect soil/wood contact; Jake can suggest liner options if you prefer.
The earlier the better. Beds installed in late winter or early spring let soil warm sooner, which means faster growth and stronger plants. Ordering now ensures your garden is ready when the season starts.
Prices vary because every build is custom. As a rough guide, popular items include a 4×8 raised bed, a pair of custom window boxes, or a trellis planter. Send your dimensions for a fast quote.

“Not only was Jake very prompt in his reply, but he was professionally receptive, making it to my exact specifications. I asked for a raised garden bed with a custom varmint‑safe lid—something I hadn’t seen before. Within one week it was made and delivered.
