Services
Split Stone Veneer Tile
Our split stone veneer tiles use 100% recycled granite scraps, offering twice the coverage of traditional tiles. The thin profile reduces transportation emissions while maintaining natural stone durability. Ideal for walls, backsplashes, and accent features in residential and commercial spaces.
Eco Pavers
Three times stronger than concrete, our eco pavers resist fading and wear for permanent outdoor installations. Made from reclaimed stone waste, they provide sustainable solutions for patios, walkways, and commercial landscapes without compromising aesthetic appeal.
Firepits
Handcrafted firepits combine recycled granite with timeless design for residential and commercial outdoor spaces. The natural stone withstands extreme temperatures while adding value through unique, eco-conscious construction.
Recycled Aggregates
Processed from industry waste, our granite aggregates serve landscaping and construction applications. These durable materials improve drainage systems, decorative ground cover, and sustainable concrete mixes while diverting waste from landfills.
Creative Arts Programs
The Green Abilities program trains individuals with disabilities in recycled granite craftsmanship. Participants learn specialized techniques to create custom mosaics and functional art, transforming waste materials into marketable products while developing professional skills.

Questions
What materials do you recycle?
We exclusively recycle granite and marble remnants from countertop fabrication, transforming 100% of collected waste into building materials.
Are your products environmentally certified?
Our manufacturing process achieves zero landfill waste and uses no new raw materials, making third-party certifications unnecessary for our 100% recycled content.
How do your pavers compare to concrete?
Lab tests show our granite pavers have 3x the compressive strength of concrete and maintain color integrity indefinitely through natural stone properties.
Can I get custom stone sizes?
We offer standard dimensions optimized for efficiency, but our thin veneer tiles provide double the coverage of traditional stone for flexible design options.
Do you ship internationally?
While headquartered in Indiana, our network serves global markets through independently operated locations with coordinated quality standards.
