A home beautification project like a walkway, patio, waterfall, retaining wall or the like not only makes your home’s outdoor area look spectacular, it’s also one of the best things you can do to increase the value of your home. Projects like these can significantly increase the amount of money you put in your pocket should you one day decide to sell the home.

So in order to maximize the potential return on that investment in a beautification project, it needs to not only be aesthetically pleasing, obviously, it also needs to be durable and efficiently constructed so you’re not wasting your money on a long, drawn-out ordeal. Construction projects involving StoneMakers’ revolutionary concrete mix fulfill all three of those requirements.

Take the example of a retaining wall. The majority of homeowners who want a wall constructed want it to appear monolithic, looking like one continuous piece. It sounds pretty easy to build such a wall, but it’s impossible to do so unless the concrete used can stand on it’s own without forms. You could have one built the traditional way, either with forms or by using concrete blocks (and then later add some sort of veneer), but it wouldn’t be monolithic, and it would be very expensive.

By using StoneMakers’ proprietary concrete mix, however, we can create a monolithic wall, patio or other beautification project without forms. Plus, we can add texture, create it in the form of just about any shape you can imagine, and do it in just about any color.

But the best part is, compared to traditional concrete, a project constructed using the StoneMakers mix is incredibly quicker to build. We did a retaining wall for a homeowner that was 75 feet long and four feet tall. Using typical concrete, that wall would have taken about three days for our crew to build. But by using the StoneMakers mix, we were able to finish that job in less than six hours. That, put simply, is astounding. It doesn’t take much more than very simple math to figure out the cost savings involved using the StoneMakers mix when you’re paying by the hour.

In addition, StoneMakers concrete is much more durable than traditional concrete, and doesn’t require nearly the amount of maintenance. So when you decide the time is right to tackle that home beautification project you’ve been thinking of, give us a call at (845) 283-8787 and we’ll show you how we can build the project of your dreams at a fraction of what you might expect to pay.
