This is a very interesting link to the issue of how chain of custody in wood supplies keeps us environmentalists guessing.
Not that the wood is necessarily being used in landscaping but reflects the generalised issue with timber.

A blog about sustainable landscaping and some eco-humour and eco-creativity.
Inside this blog we look at everything that is encroaching in to our natural urban landscapes – outdoor rooms (errchkem), weeds, urban noise, excess nutrientsThere’s a bit of art to add extra colour and inspiration. We believe in making sustainability fun - more gaming, less shaming.

What concerns me is that a lot of this timber industry are not telling us where the source of the timber is coming from. Canadian oregon, maple, etc, are widely used for instruments like guitars, it would be good to source a more sustainable timber.
