ECO-SAFE Solutions in the Last Frontier: How Tall Earth is Making a Difference in Alaska

Alaska’s vast wilderness and extreme weather create unique challenges for those who live, work, and build in the state. From freezing temperatures to rugged terrain, the environment demands products that can withstand the harshest conditions. That’s why we’re proud to share how some of our customers are using Tall Earth products to protect their homes and structures in Alaska. These stories not only highlight the durability and effectiveness of our ECO-SAFE solutions but also showcase the dedication of our customers to preserving the natural beauty of their surroundings.

Grayson's Story: Building Awareness and Resilience in the Tundra

Grayson, a seasonal commercial salmon fisherman, knows all too well the challenges of maintaining a cabin in the remote wilds of Alaska. With freezing temperatures that can ruin most products left over the winter, Grayson turned to Tall Earth’s ECO-SAFE Wood Treatment for a solution.

"I painted Tall Earth all over the underpinnings and floor joists as they are in direct contact and near to the tundra respectively. I keep a packet up there at all times. It’s great because freezing ruins all products with liquid up there if left over the winter. The powder is the perfect solution."

But Grayson’s commitment to eco-safe products doesn’t stop at his own cabin. Understanding the hesitation some people have towards adopting eco-friendly solutions, he’s taken it upon himself to gift Tall Earth products to others, helping them take the first step towards a more sustainable lifestyle.

"I have found with these eco-friendly items, folks are hesitant to adopt them because they lack direct exposure. I have taken to purchasing these products for those people in hopes of getting the ball rolling. Thanks for keeping this product going."

Grayson’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of both resilience and community in the quest for sustainability. By choosing ECO-SAFE solutions for his cabin and encouraging others to do the same, Grayson is not only protecting his home but also fostering a culture of environmental stewardship.

Robert’s Story: Preserving Tradition with a Modern Twist

In another corner of Alaska, Robert is embarking on a project close to his heart—building a large, two-story log cabin for his family. Unlike the typical Alaskan cabins that require frequent staining to maintain their golden hue, Robert has a different vision. He’s using Tall Earth products to achieve a darker, natural appearance that enhances the wood grain and evokes the timeless look of Appalachian cabins.

"I plan on using Tall Earth, and instead of the typical Alaskan cabin that has to be stained every 5-7 years to keep the golden log appearance, it will have a darker natural appearance that enhances the grain and by style and hue looks like the Appalachian cabins of old."

Robert’s experience isn’t limited to his own home. He’s also applied Tall Earth’s wood treatment in a high-profile project—staining a lodge for a wealthy client. The product was so effective at blending old and new boards that the transition was seamless, even fooling the client himself.

"I previously did a lodge for a very wealthy individual and used your product both to match old and new boards before the customer's stain pick. No one else figured out how I did it. Looked perfect and even he couldn’t remember the transition from old to new."

Robert’s story is a testament to the versatility and effectiveness of Tall Earth products. Whether preserving the past or creating something new, our ECO-SAFE Wood Treatment provides the durability and aesthetic appeal that builders in the toughest environments can rely on.
