Choosing between cedar and pressure-treated for a big backyard privacy job
Had a client in Springfield who wanted a 6-foot privacy fence but was really torn on material. I pushed for cedar for the natural rot resistance and look, even though it was about 30% more upfront. It's been two years now and they still thank me every time I drive by, says it's holding up perfectly. Anyone have a go-to argument for convincing clients to invest in the better material?

Honestly, people forget how much cedar smells amazing on a hot day. That alone makes it feel like a nicer space.

Totally, that cedar smell is everything. I was just at a park with a cedar chip path, and the heat just pulled that warm, sweet smell right out of it. It completely changes the feel of a place, makes it feel clean and sort of peaceful. That's a huge part of the memory for me, way more than just how it looked. Saying smell isn't a real feature is like saying music in a movie doesn't count.
