PERFORMANCE YOU CAN COUNT ON.

Teaming up with The Chasse Building Team, we modernized one of the Valley’s most popular outdoor retail destinations. The renovation aimed to update aesthetics while reducing the heat island effect. Shade sails, artificial turf, and Mirage 12″x48″ porcelain pavers were introduced throughout. Approximately 16,000 square feet of pavers were installed, with pedestrian areas laid conventionally and a designated fire lane requiring pavers cut in half, mortar-set on a concrete sub-slab with relief cuts every eight feet. Fully grouted joints replaced polymeric sand for added stability. The result is a cooler, more inviting space that blends style and comfort.

In collaboration with Beal Derkenne, we created a distinctive entryway for The Westin Hotel in Tempe. The City of Tempe requires the use of 4×8 clay brick, so we paired Summit Brick clay bricks with Ackerstone 4×8 and 6×12 concrete pavers in a seamless, side-by-side installation. This was no simple task—clay bricks and concrete pavers differ in thickness, demanding precise craftsmanship to achieve a level, cohesive surface. The finished look honors the city’s design mandate while harmonizing with the hotel’s architecture and lobby finishes. The project earned the Southwest Hardscape Association’s Chapter’s Choice Award for best project of the year in 2021.

Partnering with Wilmeng Construction, we revitalized the Alumni Lawn, a central gathering space at ASU. We carefully removed and salvaged 28,000 square feet of concrete pavers, replacing them with 26,000 square feet of Belgard pavers in two sizes: 4×8 and 6×12. The 4×8 format tied into existing campus walkways, while the 6×12 pavers defined bold main pathways. Smaller branching paths used 4×8 pavers to lead visitors to art exhibits and points of interest. Colors, textures, and shapes were chosen to complement surrounding architecture, creating a modernized lawn that feels as if it has always been part of the campus.
