WALT TOOLS

In this ever growing art of wall cladding and vertical concrete design it's important to have great tools. I once heard from a craftsman " that a man is only as good as his tools" I agree.

I have used some other tools in the past that just didn't perform well and just truly slowed the production of the project. I heard about http://www.walttools.com/ from Nathan Giffin of http://www.creativerockforming.com/ & http://www.verticalartisans.com/ he spoke highly of their products. Nathan Giffin is one of the elite trainers in the world of decorative vertical concrete. Giffin has mastered the vertical art form and continues to add innovations to this ever growing industry.



I have order many tools and concrete products from http://www.walttools.com/ and would recommend them to anyone. They are at the top of my suppliers list and I always look forward to their new innovations and products. Their customer service is phenomenal and the products are geared to helping the contractor succeed. I have found that with their decorative concrete products the possibilities are truly endless. Walt tools offers you the products and tools to create your clients ultimate dreams & wishes. Contact them at cs@walttools.com or call 888.263.5895 anytime. Feel free to drop Don Ciesielski & Greg Walters a line to share your thoughts on the site, all comments are welcome.…

DECORATIVE CONCRETE WATERFALLS CHARLESTON, SC

Poolside waterfalls are becoming very popular and Overlay Solutions, LLC is creating many custom built styles. Jody Smith Owner/ Artisan of Overlay Solutions based out of Summerville, SC is very excited about the custom additions that he is adding to his poolside enhancements. Smith will be adding real rock constructed waterfalls as well as his hand carved concrete creations. The hand carved features are created using techniques that Smith has been trained in, by some of the top concrete artisans in the world.

“I will be adding lighting, misting effects, remote controlled features, speakers, fire pits, and fire effects to the very intricate details of our poolside creations here at Overlay Solutions, LLC. I have a series of features that will consist of real stone along with simulated concrete boulders and stone effects. The features will be one of a kind and truly unique focal points for the poolside retreat.”

Smith is also in the design phase for a poolside cooler the will keep all your refreshments cool but unnoticed. He plans to complete this design project before spring of 2010 with a mind blowing design. Overlay Solutions, LLC services the entire lowcountry such as Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, Daniel Island, Folly Beach, Isle of Palms, James Island, Goose Creek and West of the Ashley.

Smith has had the pleasure of working on elite projects from the Edmondston-Alston House located on the Charleston battery in historic downtown Charleston, SC to the beautiful blue ridge mountains of Hendersonville, NC. Our company is based on solid integrity and intricate details that most contractor type installers can't produce using basic installation practices or mix designs.

Decorative Concrete Hand Carved Tiki

Concrete Artisan Jody Smith of Overlay Solutions, LLC is carving a concrete tiki at one of his clients request. The tiki will be placed along with others around an island style pool paradise. Some simulated boulders and a tiki bar are also being created by Overlay Solutions, LLC. Smith says that the project is a first for him but found it fun to create the tiki. Smith used a photo that the client gave him and he carved in all the intricate details of the photo. Smith was also able to create the aged look of the tiki by using different coloration techniques. The concrete mix used is a light weight vertical mix that Smith creates in house.

This is Smith's long term vision for his company by giving the little extras to his clients by thinking outside the box. Trying new methods to enhance the clients request and taking decorative concrete ideas to the next level. Smith has a lot of new ideas and decorative concrete concepts in the works and plans to continue creating decorative concrete art all over the Charleston, Summerville, Mt. Pleasant, Isle of Palms, and surrounding areas.

"I want to give my clients one of a kind creations that no one else has. I do this by listening to their wants and needs instead of looking at the project on a production time scale. I do feel that every project needs to be completed in a timely manor without sacrificing quality. I enjoy my job and like the creative side that I take by adding the extra details when it's possible without adding cost to client. If I see something that would take the project to another level I just do it. I do this knowing that word of mouth can carry a company to great heights. This I learned being in the Landscape design industry for 16 plus years. If you want to make a name for yourself you have to earn it and that doesn't happen cutting corners." - Jody Smith
