Past Projects

Mt_Carmel_Brewing_Co_219.jpg

Mt. Carmel Brewing

 

This design features all pavers and wall block that were manufactured here in Cincinnati.  For this design the client wanted to utilize the large hillside facing their pond so it could be used to host weddings, live concerts, and include intimate seating areas.

Brassfield Driveway.jpg

Brassfield Fines Driveway with Stone Curbing

This client wanted an option to expand their parking area for guests, kids, and grandkids that would be visiting. We did this by installing an new brassfield fines parking area that expands over to the front walk way. Brassfield fines is a very finely chipped aggregate that compacts to a firm surface, it does not wash away in the rain and requires very little maintenance. Another bonus is that is allows water to easily permeate through. Enjoy the green life!
