What Customers Are Saying
The landscape timbers are a mixed bag in terms of quality and consistency. While they generally serve their basic purpose, there are some notable issues, including inconsistent sizing, significant warping and cracking, and concerns about the quality and depth of the pressure treatment leading to faster-than-expected rotting and deterioration. Customers recommend carefully inspecting and hand-selecting the straightest and most uniform pieces, as the quality can vary greatly. Some also suggest sealing or treating the timbers further to extend their lifespan, especially for applications where they will be in direct soil contact.

I bought this landscape timber and used to mount a bluebird camera house and it works great very sturdy and it’s gonna a while! I have several friends who have done this as well.

Excellent help when picking up landscape timbers. Tara loaded and addressed my concerns about loading railroad timbers as they are extremely heavy. Will re-evaluate purchase prior to picking up remaining purchase.
hand pick your own lumber
I was foolish. My on line Order for pickup contained warped and splintery timbers. As if Lowes was pushing their rejects on me for inventory cleanup and their profit benefit. Next time, I will hand pick by myself to avoid the need for replacement of junk pieces.
Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for letting us know about your frustrating experience with the lumber that your local store representative picked out...

So many uses
I love having a few of these around because I can always think of some ways to use them around my home. These were use to build a ramp to get my zero turn mower into the shed. I also cut others to build a retainer for the mulch around my new cypress trees.
Perfect for my uses
I recently purchased these landscape timbers for a backyard project, and overall I’m very satisfied with the quality and value. I used them to build a raised garden border and a small retaining edge, and they performed exactly as I needed. The timbers were generally straight and easy to work with, which isn’t always the case with this type of lumber. A few pieces had minor warping, but nothing unexpected for treated wood—just take a moment to sort through the pile and pick the best ones. Once i...

Reliable Quality
There were many to pick from. They were straight, and fresh. When I drilled holes, the wood inside was moist. The timbers were of quality wood, each with its own character, which gave the project done more than just edging. I would go nowhere else than LOWES for my building materials and interior appointments. LOWES quality verses their prices, are not to be found anywhere else. Not only do I rely on the quality of their inventory for myself, but I give LOWES gift cards as presents to family & f...

Bowed wood
Ordered 3pc for a driveway edging and 2 out of the three were bowed and not straight. Disappointing that big box stores can’t supply straight wood.
Terrible Quality!
We ordered 40 of these boards to use as edging around our boulevard gardens. When they arrived, over half of the boards were significantly cracked or bowed beyond use, and I'm not just talking about a little crack in the wood; I'm talking about the entire board. One of the bowed boards is so curved it looks like a rainbow!
