Sustainability

In 2021, Custom Concrete Contracting began working with One Tree Planted to plant one tree for every cubic yard of concrete we pour.

Donating to One Tree Planted is part of Custom Concrete’s commitment to offset our carbon footprint and care for the global environment.

The concrete construction work we do adds up to a lot of trees planted! For example, in January 2021, Custom Concrete poured 303.5 cubic yards, and thus we donated 304 trees. Those trees benefited the Protect the Orca program, which plants trees throughout the Pacific Northwest to help with salmon habitat. We hope that, over time, those trees will help boost Chinook salmon numbers, which will in turn help the endangered southern resident orcas.

In addition to the Protect the Orca program, Custom Concrete also donates to One Tree Planted reforestation projects in Colorado, Rwanda and elsewhere around the world.
