Why did I start Overlay Solutions?
“I remember the summers as a child at
Disney World in Orlando Florida I was amazed at all the huge stones all around the amusement park. I would wonder, how they could get all those stones up there so high? How did they stack the boulders so perfect inside the rides? How did they get the huge stones through the ride
entrances? How do they make such beautiful floors & benches? I would then just say to my self Oh well it’s Disney and if anyone could find a way to do it Walt Disney could. Until one day I discovered that so much of what truly amazed me more then the rides themselves was man made replications. I was not disappointed but inspired that someone could achieve such realism that year after year I would ask, how did they do that? Now I know and I plan to create the same illusions that had me so amazed as a child and still to this day. My goals are to build Overlay Solutions with solid integrity and vast desire for this craft of illusion and replication to turn my client’s visions & dreams into reality.
Walt Disney once said,“If you can dream it you can do it.”
That pretty much sums up Jody Smith’s philosophy at
Overlay Solutions. Inspired by the creations at Disney World as a child, Smith uses concrete to craft beautiful overlays transforming almost any surface from ordinary to extraordinary. Whether it is turning a mundane countertop into a stunning new old world stone looking kitchen centerpiece or a dull patio into a gorgeous gathering place, Smith can envision the finished product while designing it. Using his sixteen years of previous landscaping experience, Smith incorporates his ideas into the surrounding environment to create seamless designs. He will also take on an exclusive Landscape Design Installation project if needed to serve his clients evey need.
Depending upon the application and type of aggregate used, Smith applies a variety of designs and carvings to the product based on the clients’ desires. His finished product goes beyond conventional concrete stamping methods, and its beauty lies within the intricate details ingrained in each project. Smith also uses a variety of colorization techniques including flakes of bronze or copper that can give clients more of a classic look. Smith views himself as an artist whose canvas is concrete, and sees his projects as works of art. Smith enjoys taking a much more personal approach by helping his clients create their own visions with him. “I want my clients to have exactly what they are seeking in any of the many services that Overlay Solutions has to offer. Overlay Solutions provides quality work with concrete results and takes great pride that our only limitation is your imagination.
