History
DMG started selling lobster traps woof runners back in 2013. The wood used for those runners had to be able to resist to a very extreme environment in the ocean and to be extremely resistant to marine borers. After many trips to South America, Marty & Dale the 2 cofounders of DMG found the perfect wood (Angelique) and introduced it to the lobster fisherman along the coast of Maine and Nova Scotia. It was an immediate success.
From there, the logical step was to introduce the same woo to the decking market. “If the wood is good enough to be used at the bottom of the ocean, it surely can stand as decking to the roughest elements nature can throw at it.” DMG trademarked it as “Naval Deck”, because of the wood history of World War II where to US Navy on Aircraft Carriers and Cruisers such as the famous USS Missouri used it extensively.
Jacques Joined the team in early 2015 and brought his wood expertise to DMG. Marty and Jacques have a combined wood experience of over 80 years. Having both traveled extensively throughout the world from the jungles of Southeast Asia, West Africa, South America and the Northern Woods of Siberia. They have developed a thorough knowledge of both domestic and tropical hardwoods.
Today, DMG Hardwoods is primarily an importer of exotic wood decking from South America and West Africa. In addition to decking, DMG also carries various wood species of Live Edge Slabs.
Our facility is situated in York, Maine.
