Stamped Concrete: A Better Choice Than Paving Bricks!
Are you a homeowner looking for a new and hip way to spice
up your outdoor living space? Looking for a new patio, driveway or carport? Is
your business looking drab and you need something new and fresh? If so, you’ve
come to the right place. Fuller
Excavating wants you to push aside the idea of traditional brick pavers and
start seriously considering stamped concrete. You’ve never heard of it? Well,
you’re in luck. Fuller Excavating is the company you’re looking for to improve
the outlook of your home or business. Stamped concrete
is a continuous concrete surface that has been “stamped” to look like brick
pavers, stone and even wood.
Why should you choose stamped concrete over the traditional
brick pavers? Stamped concrete is ideal for anyone living in the North Country.
In the winter, frost heaves and the cold temperatures can deform brick pavers.
Another draw back of pavers is the space left in between. These will ultimately
leads to weeds and grass growing in between the pavers and tarnishing the look
of your brand new patio or driveway. The solution is easy. Stamped concrete
will save you time and energy as stamped concrete has no actual “cracks” and
the lines are simply part of the design.
Now that we’ve touched on a few of the benefits of stamped
concrete, let’s talk aesthetics. Traditionally many people thought that brick
pavers were much more pleasing than a simple slab of concrete and I wouldn’t
necessarily disagree. However, stamped concrete is not simply a slab of
concrete thrown down. Although stamped concrete will never be identical to the
surface it is intended to mimic, modern advance in stamping allows the concrete
to look so close to the surface it is imitating that a trained eye would be
needed to tell the difference. Because of the look of stamped concrete along
with the other benefits mentioned before many homeowners and businesses are
choosing stamped concrete over outdated brick pavers.
Finally, if you’re looking to add some style to your stamped
concrete there are many different color options to leave your home or office
looking updated and beautiful!
If you’re in the market for a new patio, driveway or carport
give us a call and discuss your options. We strongly believe that stamped
concrete will be a great opportunity to improve the look to your home or
office.

Insulated Concrete Forms (I.C.F)
At Fuller Excavating we know
that in these economic times everyone is trying to get the most for their
money. When building a new home or office the amount of decisions to be made
can seem overwhelming. Let us make an easy one for you when you choose to begin
your project with an I.C.F. (Insulated Concrete Forms).
There are many reasons why
I.C.Fs are the best choice. But,
first you might be asking what exactly is an I.C.F? An I.C.F is a hollow,
light-weight, made to stay in place form that is created using two Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) panels connected by polypropylene webs. They are then stacked and filled with concrete
that results in durable, sustainable, and stable walls.
The
I.C.F provides structure, insulation, a vapor barrier, sound barrier and
attachments that make adding drywall and exterior siding a cinch! And that is
just the beginning! The I.C.F wall is known to last over four times longer than
the normal constructed walls. Also, there are no limits to the I.C.F walls and
they can be used for residential or commercial properties of any size or shape.
The
product is another “green” option for homeowners and they can drastically
reduce energy costs because no additional insulation is needed inside or
outside of the wall. These structures use 30%-50% less energy to heat and cool
when used with other energy saving products. You might be thinking that this
all sounds good, but what about when I go to actually build the interior of my
home? Will I need to frame the inside before I can put sheetrock up? The answer
is no. No additional interior framing is necessary. The sheetrock can be
screwed right into the I.C.F saving time and money.
On
top of the energy efficiency, the I.C.F is also wind, fire, insect and rodent
resistant. Clearly an I.C.F is the perfect way to start a new building project.
It’s benefits will last lifetimes. If you have further questions please feel
free to contact us. Also, check out our current I.C.F project on Mirror Lake in
Lake Placid.

Norweco Singular Green System
Are you in the market for a new house? What about an updated
septic system? If you answered yes to either of those questions, Fuller’s
Excavating is the company for you. Also, why you’re at it why not go green?
Everyone is doing it.
There are many benefits to the Norweco Singular GreenSystem. First and foremost, not only is the system much more efficient and
environmentally friendly (that’s where the GREEN comes in), but it’s life
expectancy is longer than that of a concrete tank. The leach field life is
prolonged because of the aerobic environment inside the tank! This allows a
more favorable environment for the bacteria to grow in and prevents clogging in
the drain-field because the bacteria are continuously working.
The design of The Norweco Green System is extremely unique.
The multi-directional ribbed design is extremely durable, leak-proof and
corrosion resistant. It is also UV stabilized. It is also the only septic
system that uses polyethylene single-tank technology with pretreatment, flow
equalization and disinfection! Talk about all-in-one. The system treats up to
600 GPD and is ANSI/NSF Standard 40 certified.
It all sounds pretty good, right? You’re probably
wondering…we’ll that’s good and all, but what about my property? Put your
worries aside. This system can be used in the most difficult of locations
including limited site access and steep grades. What about installation, you
ask? That is even easier. Two people and a single backhoe can install the
entire Norweco Singular Green System. It’s as easy as that!
Clearly the Norweco Singular Green system is something worth
looking into. Not only will it save you money, you’ll be doing your part in
saving the environment!
Look for a system we are installing soon on Lake Shore Rd in
Plattsburgh just before Bluff Point Golf Course!
