OUR SPecialty

Regionally-Sourced Steel

Steel is the foundation of what we do best. Known for its unmatched strength and structural reliability, it’s the ideal material for high-traffic public spaces. At Keystone Ridge Designs, we source our steel regionally and manufacture every product in-house for superior quality and control. With at least 25% recycled content—sometimes up to 100%—our steel reflects a strong commitment to both performance and sustainability. It offers exceptional resistance to impact, weather, pests, and fire, and allows for precise customization. Fully-welded and finished with our signature powder coating, each steel site furnishing is built to endure rust, fading, and years of heavy use.

A LIGHTWEIGHT ALTERNATIVE

Aluminum

Aluminum offers a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative to steel with a sleek, modern appeal. Ideal for coastal environments and portable applications, it brings both style and function to outdoor spaces. At Keystone Ridge Designs, aluminum is used in select furnishings like the leg castings of the Lamplighter, Augustine, Robinson, and Schenley benches, while models like the Everett are crafted entirely from aluminum. With 97–98% recycled content, our aluminum supports sustainability without compromising strength. Finished with our signature powder coating, it resists rust, fading, and wear, making it a smart, durable choice for custom applications and refined design accents.

Wood Grain Aluminum Production
DESIGNED TO DECEIVE

Wood-Grain Aluminum

Enjoy the warmth of wood with the strength of metal. Our wood-grain aluminum finish uses an advanced powder coating process that embeds high-resolution imagery onto aluminum, delivering the natural look and patterns of wood without the upkeep. This sustainable wood alternative won’t crack, split, warp, or fade—making it ideal for long-term outdoor use. Commonly featured on our Rosedale and Creekview products but often substituted in many other designs, this popular material option adds warmth and durability to a site. The process also allows for expanded design options—from various wood tones to custom graphics. Explore more on our KeyshieldArt™ page.

SUSTAINABLY SOURCED

Ipe Hardwood

Known for its exceptional strength and rich, natural color, Ipe is a hardwood commonly used for outdoor applications where longevity matters. Naturally resistant to rot, insects, moisture, and wear, it offers a refined, organic aesthetic with minimal maintenance. At Keystone Ridge Designs, we use Ipe selectively and source it with care—ensuring it meets high standards for responsible forestry. Commonly used on our Enzo and Robinson products, Ipe remains a durable, high-performance option for those seeking natural materials with long-term resilience in demanding environments.

SMART REUSE

Recycled Plastic

Recycled plastic lumber is available on select products for projects with specific sustainability and material goals. Made from post-consumer and post-industrial plastics, it offers a low-maintenance alternative that resists moisture, rot, and splintering. With multiple color options, recycled plastic can serve as a practical solution for certain applications where environmental considerations and requirements take priority.

Thermally Modified Wood Closeup
Naturally Enhanced

Thermally-Modified Wood

Thermally modified lumber offers the natural beauty of wood with enhanced durability for outdoor use. Through a non-toxic heat and steam process—free from chemicals—the wood’s structure is altered to improve resistance to rot, moisture, and insects. The result is a stable, low-maintenance material with a rich, refined appearance that holds up to the elements. At Keystone Ridge Designs, we offer thermally modified wood as an option on select products for clients seeking a sustainable, natural alternative that balances performance with aesthetics.
