Unilock Quarry Smooth in New Buffalo
Location
New Buffalo MI
Project Type
For this modern house in New Buffalo, the goal was to marry sleek aesthetics with heavy-duty structural integrity. The homeowners chose Unilock Quarry Smooth (Midnight Charcoal) to create a bold contrast against the white siding, finished with Beacon Hill Opal Blend coping for a soft, modern transition. While this feature serves as a planter bed and a border for a future pool deck, we treated the installation with the same rigorous engineering we apply to structural retaining walls.
Technical Specifications:
Base: 8" excavation with compacted virgin soil and #8 Open-Graded Limestone (superior freeze-thaw protection).
Drainage: "Burrito Drain" system—Drain tile encased in geotextile fabric and #8 clean stone backfill.
Adhesion: SRW Rapid Set Adhesive for permanent bonding.
