Hi Justin, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?

We currently live in twinsburg ohio,

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Its been pretty smooth but like any business there are struggles. Between equipment, finding the right help, weather, trying to meet clients expectations it can be stressful.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
We’re a small start up company based out of twinsburb ohio
We do mainly residential flatwork, driveways patios, sidewalks, garage and basement floors.
Brand wise what sets us apart is the decorative landscape curbing which poured concrete extruded around mulch and flower beds.
It can be stamped and colored to look like natural stone or wood or just left plain.
All materials are mixed and extruded on site.
There are different molds that shape the curb to fit the clients specifications.
Unlike other border systems it is a permanent structure reinforced with steel cable and fiber mesh.
The steel cable acts as rebar in concrete and the fiber mesh are small hair like particles mixed in every batch of concrete both help hold everything together during the hard Ohio winters.
We are on of only a handful of contractors in Northeast Ohio who offer landscape curbing as a service and our detailed impression and detail on our natural stone system sets us apart from the others who do install curbing.
Its a very unique system well worth the investment.
We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
I play the drums occasionally
Pricing:
- Each job and each system we provide as a service presents a different set of circumstances and challenges so we dont price by the foot. we price by the job.
- We get as much information from potential clients via text emails or phone calls about the project such as dimensions, location, access for excavation equipment ect
- we provide a rough estimate or price range seeing if that fits the potential clients budget before we come out to the site. this way we’re all on the same page from a price point perspective
