NEW JOBS MEAN LOTS OF PREP WORK
Every time we start a new job, we must change our forms over to the type that is suitable for the job. There is a lot of work that goes along with this. Changing textures, changing knob sizes, applying color and adjusting our concrete mix design to fulfill the order. Thankfully we have a dedicated […]
"Weep" Block
Designing a wall that efficiently drains water, is one of the keys to a good design. The above and below pictures show a custom block that was made for a tall “gravity wall”. 6″ PVC pipe runs straight through the block from the front to the back. The install crew will then attach their drainage […]
Concrete Texturing Tool & Supply
This company specializes in custom concrete applications. It was a big compliment when they chose our block for this project. This wall has been been here for a few years now, and it still looks great! They also used our block in their loading area……
Backyard Patio
Using Redi-Rock pavers for a patio couldn’t be easier. Just level the ground with sand/gravel, and set them in place. Kinda like an instant patio. I’m sure the homeowners will enjoy their time relaxing and entertaining on this new feature of the home. Of course, some grass seed will follow.
Retaining Wall in Carbon County
The retaining wall you see in these pictures, is a replacement for an old deteriorating wall from the past. The installer, Nevin, did a fantastic job laying down the block. This wall is a “Gravity Wall”, meaning no reinforcement was necessary for the wall to hold back the pressure of the road behind it.
Saint Luke’s Hospital Parking Lot
When St. Luke’s Hospital needed to expand their parking lot, Redi-Rock was called upon. Here you can see a nice curve in the wall. All of the blocks used in the curve are standard retaining wall blocks. The Standard taper of the blocks allowed this radius to be created with ease. After the wall was […]
Parking Lot Expansion
The massive weight of these “Limestone” blocks, allow this parking lot to be expanded with no reinforcement necessary. (It looks pretty darn good too!)
Water Application
A sight to behold. The long curves in these walls are absolutely stunning! The homeowner did a fantastic job of using our “Cobblestone” freestanding garden blocks to step down a block. When the grass grows, I’m sure they will be enjoying the new look. Enjoy the next two snapshots…..
Gated Entry and Sign
Redi-Rock is a very versatile product. Here you can see our “cobblestone” finish being used as a gated entry. The combination of a freestanding column and a freestanding wall support the hardware needed to install the gate. The addition of two more columns with a sign balance out the look.
Bethlehem Steel Fountain
I really like the application of Freestanding Redi-Rock blocks. As you can see, the blocks are supporting a massive piece of equipment from an era that has past. The look of these mega blocks with our Redi-Rock “Limestone” finish accentuate the equipment it supports.
