There are many types of materials required to fabricate our features. Some of these supplies come from far away, such as Precision Board (California) and concrete additives (Illinois). The balance of our supplies are sourced from local suppliers who serve us very well. We love to buy in bulk and keep a good supply of all we need on hand. Surprisingly, one of the harder items to source in our area is the extra fine sand we require to mix our specialty fibreglass-reinforced sculpting concrete. To ensure we have plenty on hand we buy it by the truckload. To keep the sand pristine and dry we store it in a steel shipping container. As we ramp up for next year’s projects we are topping up our supplies. Today I kept our little tract humming as I loaded up the sand bin once again.
