<p><a href="http://www.pavestone.com">Pavestone</a> recently teamed up with the <a href="http://www.bengals.com/" target="_blank">Cincinnati Bengals</a> and the <a href="http://www.marvinlewis.org/" target="_blank">Marvin Lewis Community Fund</a> for the 6th consecutive year for the 11th annual NFL/United Way Hometown Huddle, an initiative that promotes volunteerism in communities. Each year the event creates or refurbishes a playground in Cincinnati, and Pavestone employees participate by volunteering labor and product. The event had more than 500 volunteers from Pavestone, <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/" target="_blank">Home Depot</a>, and various other partners.</p>
<p>This past year?s Hometown Huddle project took place in Cincinnati?s Evanston neighborhood, and included the construction of a walking path, refurbishing a basketball court, expanding a community garden, building a storage shed, and installing new landscaping. Pavestone assisted in building a tree ring from Pavestone pavers with the names of the Bengals players engraved in the stones.</p>
<p>The Evanston neighborhood is comprised of 10,461 low-income residents, 27.3% of which live below the poverty level. In Evanston, 1 in 5 families are single-mother homes, and just 18% of the overall youth of Evanston continue their education in undergraduate colleges. This project will serve as a lasting gift to the community for residents, children, families in Evanston.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.staugustineparish.org/" target="_blank">St. Augustine?s Parish</a> in Brighton, Colorado began in 1887 with a quaint brick building topped with a wooden steeple. In the more than a century since that time, the church grew from just 12 families to more than 800 families, and with that growth came a need for updated parking facilities.</p>
<p>The church was in need of a parking solution that would complement the church building, accommodate the parishioners, and meet the safety standards necessitated by a climate like Colorado, which is prone to snow and ice. Knowing that the project would cover an area greater than 60,000 square feet, St. Augustine?s reviewed a variety of permeable and porous pavement systems before choosing <a href="http://www.pavestone.com/professionals/products/All-Regions/699/Eco-Priora" target="_blank">Pavestone Eco-Priora?</a>. The church leadership examined front end costs alongside the lifetime costs, and decided that the eco-friendly pavers were the best option for their needs. While permeable paver systems often have a higher cost initially, the permeable systems don?t require the installation and material costs of piping for underground drainage and storm water systems.</p>
<p>Permeable pavers are common in Colorado, as they help control runoff, mitigate storm surge, and improve water quality overall. The permeable pavers provided the solution that St. Augustine?s was looking for: a lovely, functional, ecologically friendly and financially responsible parking area.</p>

<p>After learning of the situation at the Memorial, Pavestone District Manager Ryan Sawyer facilitated the donation of more than a thousand square feet of Pavestone product, as well as the installation of the pavers.</p>
<p>Ryan shared that the Memorial project would not have been possible  without the generosity and willingness of the retail sales team to get  the job done so late in the season.When they discovered that the  contractor had backed out of the installation they were already in the  midst of their busy November schedule.The team worked diligently to get  ahead of their obligations and fit the Columbine project into the  schedule the week following Thanksgiving to ensure the Memorial was  completed and reopened with as little interruption as possible. Ryan was  very proud of his group and felt fortunate to be able to work with such  a dynamic team.The project wouldn?t have been possible with the help  of Frederick Hixson, a Southern Colorado sales rep, Lucas Barry, a  Southeast Arizona sales rep, Matt Abbott, a Northern Rocky Mountain  sales rep, and Randy Scoles, a Central Colorado sales rep.</p>

<p>The permeable, interlocking pavers that Pavestone offers have benefits beyond aesthetics. They make for a beautiful road, yes, but the Civil Engineering group at <a href="http://www.peterson.af.mil/" target="_blank">Peterson Air Force Base</a> in Colorado Spring, Colorado had several other reasons to select an interlocking, permeable <a href="http://www.pavestone.com/professionals/products/All-Regions/699/Eco-Priora" target="_blank">Eco-Priora ?</a> paver from Pavestone.</p>
<p>The existing asphalt roads at Peterson Air Force Base weren?t able to handle the use that they were being put under. The asphalt roads were flooded throughout the rainy seasons in Colorado, causing damaged pavement and inconveniences for the Base. The roads needed to be replaced, but in a way that would be sustainable and at a cost that was justifiable.</p>

<p>Pavestone?s Eco-Priora ? was selected for half a dozen reasons beyond its eye-catching appeal:</p>
<ul>
<li>Durable:      Paver roads can outlast a standard asphalt road by two or three life      cycles.</li>
<li>Flexible:      Pavers allow movement during the freeze and thaw cycle without damage to      the road ? important for a snowy climate like Colorado. </li>
<li>Maintenance      free: Colored paver stones completely eliminate the need to restripe. </li>
<li>Repair      friendly: Individual pavers can be removed and replaced for underground      work. </li>
<li>Environmentally      friendly: Additional stormwater storage was provided.</li>
<li>Compliant:      Met the EPA and Department of Defense mandates to reduce runoff. </li>

<p>The permeable, interlocking pavers that Pavestone offers have benefits beyond aesthetics. They make for a beautiful road, yes, but the Civil Engineering group at <a href="http://www.peterson.af.mil/" target="_blank">Peterson Air Force Base</a> in Colorado Spring, Colorado had several other reasons to select an interlocking, permeable <a href="http://www.pavestone.com/professionals/products/All-Regions/699/Eco-Priora" target="_blank">Eco-Priora ?</a> paver from Pavestone.</p>
<p>The existing asphalt roads at Peterson Air Force Base weren?t able to handle the use that they were being put under. The asphalt roads were flooded throughout the rainy seasons in Colorado, causing damaged pavement and inconveniences for the Base. The roads needed to be replaced, but in a way that would be sustainable and at a cost that was justifiable.</p>

<p>Pavestone?s Eco-Priora ? was selected for half a dozen reasons beyond its eye-catching appeal:</p>
<ul>
<li>Durable:      Paver roads can outlast a standard asphalt road by two or three life      cycles.</li>
<li>Flexible:      Pavers allow movement during the freeze and thaw cycle without damage to      the road ? important for a snowy climate like Colorado. </li>
<li>Maintenance      free: Colored paver stones completely eliminate the need to restripe. </li>
<li>Repair      friendly: Individual pavers can be removed and replaced for underground      work. </li>
<li>Environmentally      friendly: Additional stormwater storage was provided.</li>
<li>Compliant:      Met the EPA and Department of Defense mandates to reduce runoff. </li>

</div>
<p>Pavestone is very pleased to announce Matt Blakeley as the September Sales Rep of the Month. Below is an excerpt from an email that was received from Brian Webber, the Operations Assistant Store Manager at <a title="Pavers - The Home Depot" href="http://www.homedepot.com" target="_blank">Home Depot</a> store # 707, that demonstrates the level of dedication and effort put forth by Matt that has earned him this recognition.</p>
<blockquote><p>?I wanted to take a minute and ask for yourassistance in specifically recognizing youremployee Matt Blakely. Over the last 6 months, Matt has given me and Team Depot andincredible amount of assistance in vision, design and labor.Without his assistance this project wouldnot have been possible. He has been with us since day one and leant hisexpertise in doing the site walk. He took a rough ideathat I had in my head and was able to take my loose collection of thoughts andsketches and put them to anactual engineered design. He spent many hours measuring,computing as well as making calls to the city and planners to get engineering designs for the site. He was able to secure product and the assistance of your associates. Thisreally gave the project a professional finish and hastruly impressed everybody that has gone into the memorial garden.</p>
<p>Matt hastruly made a difference not only to a grieving family but to a whole community. Murfreesboro and the Blackman Community have been grieving for the last year from theunfortunate lose of one of their own.<a title="SPC Russell S. Hercules Jr." href="http://freedomremembered.com/index.php/spc-russell-shane-hercules-jr/" target="_blank">Russell Hercules, Jr.</a> passed October 1, 2009 during an insurgent attack while he was on patrol in Afghanistan. He was a member of the Pathfinder Company 4thBN of the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell. The efforts put forth over last few months by Matt and Pavestone have done unimaginable amounts of healing for both agrieving family and a community as a whole.</p>
<p>Matt has far surpassed any level of dedication that I would expect in any vendor representative. I know he has also been doing this with a heavy heart dealing with the recent loss of his own brother while on active duty. Being faced with this and being able to give what he has,shows us that we have not only a great partnership but a true friendship.?</p>

Unfortunately, with the state of the economy and just the overall condition of business in general, we don?t tend to look for a way that we can help someone else.  With our wallets being tighter we don?t give as much as we have in the past and our eyes and hearts are not open as much to those that could use a helping hand.</p>
<p>A month or so ago I received a call from Jan Pease (<a title="Jan Pease Marketing" href="http://www.janpeasemarketing.com" target="_blank">Jan Pease Marketing</a>) in which she explained a project that was beginning to start that involved the NeighborWorks Columbus and their Columbus Cottage Program.  In short, this is a organization that will take a elderly disadvantaged recipient whose housing is unsatisfactory and build them a new home to live in.  This is their third cottage and the recipient this time is Mr. Joseph Hubanks, a retired, two war veteran.  Mr. Hubanks is in his 80?s and his home was in terrible condition. I have included a link to the NeighborWorks website about Mr. Hubanks and a video about his home (<a title="Check out the video and progress" href="http://www.nwcolumbuscampaign.org/recipients.aspx?id=109 " target="_blank">http://www.nwcolumbuscampaign.org/recipients.aspx?id=109 </a>) After watching the video I am sure you will be amazed that he was still there.</p>
<p>We were asked if we would like to join the effort to build Mr. Hubanks new home and provide the landscaping for the home.  After making a trip to the site to see the existing house, I did not have any reservations about doing this.  In fact, I was actually impressed in what I had seen. Although the home was in terrible condition you could not really tell this from the road side.  Mr. Hubanks had enough pride in himself that he still kept his yard up.  The property was not overgrown and you could tell that the man was proud of his shrubbery that he had. Even though the walls, floors, and everything else about the home was beyond repair, the yard was still in good shape as to NOT draw attention to the terrible conditions of the home. This spoke highly to me, this showed me a man that had pride in himself, from then on I did not have any reservations about lending a hand.  I look forward to giving Mr. Hubanks a yard that he can enjoy.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1116" title="Hubanks Home - After Columbus Cottage" src="http://www.pavestone.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/columbus-cottage-after-300x159.png" alt="Hubanks Home - After Columbus Cottage" width="300" height="159" />As a veteran myself, I owe Mr. Hubanks for the wars that he has served in. As Americans we owe a lot to those who served before us.  Anyone who feels that they would like to help with this cause can contact the program at the above linked website.  Anyone that would like to get their hands dirty and help our staff in installing Mr. Hubanks yard can feel free to contact our office or myself.  We are tentatively scheduled to do the installation in the middle of September, with further details coming in the next week. Our staff would love to give a hand to anyone that wants to volunteer to help on the installation and perhaps pass a little ?Green? knowledge onto you and at the same time help a fellow American.</p>
<p>In the design of the landscape I wanted to keep things fairly simple for maintenance purposes, yet still bring attention to the home.  I think this was accomplished and hopefully Mr. Hubanks will be pleased.</p>
<p>I want to take time to thank our vendors who have stepped up with us on this project, because, without them it would not be possible.  Some of our clients may even recognize some of these vendors from projects we have done for you.</p>
<p><strong>PAVESTONE</strong> &#8211;               Pavestone has provided us with our hardscape products for several years and has been great in supporting Southern Environmental on our projects, they will be providing the <a href="http://www.pavestone.com/consumers/product-type/All-Regions/pave-stones.php">Pavers</a> for the back patio and <a title="Rumble Wall Block" href="http://www.pavestone.com/consumers/products/All-Regions/519/Rumbled-Wall-Rectangle" target="_blank">Rumble Wall block</a> for us to build the surround for the BBQ Grill. I did not draw the BBQ surround details into the plans because this will be a one off design and will not be seen until finally installation. It should be interesting.   Pictures will be posted upon completion.</p>
<p><strong>J</strong><strong>OHN DEERE LANDSCAPES</strong> &#8211;           John Deere Landscapes has provided us with many plants and landscape materials over the past and is fast becoming our ?Go To? vendor for <a title="Landscaping Materials" href="http://www.johndeerelandscapes.com/" target="_blank">landscaping materials</a>.  They will be providing irrigation products from Hunter and plants for the install.  (Yes, this is a surprise. We will be irrigating the property to help with longevity and survivability of the landscape).  Special thanks to Hunter Irrigation.</p>
<p><strong>A ROCKY PLACE</strong> &#8211;             A Rocky Place is a local bulk materials provider that specializes in stone and dirt products.  A Rocky Place provides us with all of the stone aggregate that is used in our retaining walls and paver construction projects.  They will be providing fill dirt to help level Mr. Hubanks yard and crush and run aggregate for the base for the paver patio.</p>
<p><strong>WADE WILKERSON NURSERY</strong> &#8211; <a title="Wade Wilkerson Nursery" href="http://www.wilkersonnursery.com/" target="_blank"> Wade Wilkerson Nursery</a> is a local tree growing operation who provides Southern Environmental with a lot of the B&amp;B trees that are used on our installs.  They will be providing the Crype Myrtles and the Maple that will be planted in Mr. Hubanks yard.</p>
<p><strong>SUNSWEET SOD, LLC</strong> &#8211; SunSweet Sod is a sod farm that has recently come on board with us to provide the majority of the Tifton Bermuda Sod that we are installing on several projects.  SunSweet will be providing the new sod that will be installed in Mr. Hubanks yard.</p>
<p>Thanks to all who have and will be helping us with this project and thanks to NeighborWorks Columbus organization for asking us to be a part of it.</p>
