SITE AMENITIES

Light weight for easier handling and lower transportation costs.

Made from abundant materials where depletion in not an issue.

Minimal energy consumption in fabrication process which is primarily by hand (no process equipment with mortar size greater than 5 HP).

IROX self contained irrigation system is more efficient with 100% water use before evaporation since water reservoir is in sealed portion of planter.

FOUNTAINS

Light weight structure does not require extensive concrete footings normally associated with stone fountains.

A 4" "sidewalk" slab is adequate for the fountain foundation.

Environmental scalable design with multiple 1/2 HP pumps to reduce excess capacity from larger single pumps.

The same principal applies to the lighting with smaller, more frequently used low voltage light fixtures.

COLUMN COVERS

Light weight for easier handling and lower transportation costs.  This allows greater number of units to be packed per truck.

The units can installed by hand with power lifting equipment being required.

Excellent renovation choice because old structure can usually stay in place and be covered with new thin wall product.

BARRIERS

The Stonewear patent pending design is the only product in this category that does not require shipping heavy concrete.

Regional materials are used after the Stonewear shells are in place for the final concrete placement.
