Southshore Five Acre Park
Aurora, CO
Nuszer Kopatz Design wanted to create an attractive park in a new housing development near Aurora Reservoir. To break away from the classic park look, they wanted Southshore Five Acre Park to be free of hard straight lines. The undulating lines of the walls, walks, and plaza areas works well with the cast-in-place concrete and are consistent with the theme of flowing water. |

The Tavern Lowry & The Soiled Dove
Denver, CO
The Tavern Lowry restaurant (upstairs) and the Soiled Dove Underground nightclub (downstairs) had two separate needs for this project, but both involved concrete floors that would be relatively low maintenance. |

Safeway
Littleton, CO
Safeway was looking for a simple yet elegant design for a water feature that could be completed within two weeks and be affordable. The Safeway logo appears behind the sheet of continuous flowing water to add to the allure of this up-scaling project. Sandscape Texture™ was used in both the area surrounding the water feature and the basin curb wall of the water feature, tieing the project together nicely. |

Cantilevered Steps
Cantilevered steps refer to the steps edge detail. The cantilevered edge has a cut stone imprint to look like a natural stone step. The treads of the steps have a sandstone texture stamp. This detail resembles a sandstone that has a cut edge. The steps are poured monolithically and you can apply an integral color, color hardener or use any of our many textures. The steps that are shown above were poured with an integral color, and a similar color hardener was applied to the treads where we stamped the sandstone texture. The color hardener was used to slightly change the color of the steps to resemble a stone with a cut edge would be discolored compared to the weathered tread. The detail underneath the cantilevered edge was our Sandscape Texture™ finish. It is important to remember that this product requires the tread of the stair to be a minimum of 10" from the nose of the step to the nose of the next step. A smaller tread is not advisable because it is possible for a toe to get hung up in the cantilevered section of the steps.

17 Years of Decorative Service
|
|
| |
|
| |
After 17 years of service to the decorative concrete industry, Jay Fangman has decided to retire from his full time position as Business Developer at Colorado Hardscapes. His presence will be missed by fellow employees and clients. A part of Jay's success, beyond his ability to pick up a conversation with just about anybody, was his 15 years of experience in the ready mix industry prior to coming to work for Colorado Hardscapes.
When asked what he will do in the near future, Jay responded, "Every man has a house and a book in him waiting to come out, I never tried the house. I tried the book several years ago and was not able to make it happen because of my busy life. Now I believe I can do it."
Jay believes he has accomplished the goals he set for himself and that Colorado Hardscapes is in excellent hands to continue outstanding client services. Jay commented at CHI's February 29th Sales Meeting, ". . .the young men and women at Colorado Hardscapes are the cream of the crop. Smart, well-trained people of integrity. From a backlog standpoint, CHI has never looked better . . ."
Jay's contribution to the Decorative Concrete market has been enormous. By utilizing his in-depth knowledge and unique ability to communicate, Jay is one of a select few to have made a national impact. As Council Director of the Decorative Concrete Council for the American Society of Concrete Contractors, Jay has played an important role in bringing together decorative concrete contractors from around the country in a process to improve business practices and work quality. Jay has always looked for opportunities to give back to the industry because he feels it has given so much to him.
Jay's last full day will be Thursday March 13th. While he is retiring from full-time duty, Jay will continue to work with Colorado Hardscapes as a consultant.
Please join all the employees at Colorado Hardscapes in wishing Jay the very best!
