"Safe from the Storm (and from the fuel bills): Concrete Homes"

In 2002, 14.4% of the single-family homes built in the U.S utilized exterior above-grade concrete wall systems, such as concrete masonry, insulating concrete forms, precast panels and cast-in-place forms - accounting for more than 150,000 homes in that year alone. The market share of concrete homes has steadily increased, from 3% in 1993 to more than 14% in 2002. Homes built with exterior concrete walls offer superior energy efficiency, increased safety from natural disasters, and a quiet, comfortable and healthy indoor environment. Homes built with exterior concrete walls can accept any type of exterior finish including brick, stone, siding or stucco. A finished concrete home is indistinguishable from any other home in the neighborhood. As builders and consumers become more aware that concrete walls are an option for their new home, entire communities built with exterior concrete walls are being built in areas as diverse as Minneapolis, Myrtle Beach, Reno, Palm Springs, Houston and Kansas City. The energy savings and a smaller insurance premium often make the monthly operating cost of living in a concrete home less than that of a conventionally built house. Concrete offers a natural choice for homeowners concerned about the environment. Concrete products are made with a combination of recycled products and some of the most abundant materials on earth. Once in place, concrete is there for the long run. It doesn't rot, rust, or burn, lasting decades with minimal upkeep.

Landscaping with Hardscaping
-- Dave Sonka

Today’s residential landscapes are more than just planting arrangements and retaining walls to resolve troublesome slopes. “Hardscaping” (landscaping with natural stone, earthen or concrete products) has become a way to add visual interest and enjoyable outdoor living spaces. Hardscapes create structure in the landscape, make reference to the architecture of the home, and make planting arrangements and resolved slopes far more interesting and enjoyable. Attend this seminar and bring your ideas and questions and David will take the time to give you straight answers to your questions and offer ideas for your projects.

Landscaping for our
Minnesota Weather
-- Jack Dorcey

The only constant with Minnesota weather is change. From record rainfalls to droughts, heat waves to ice storms, our weather keeps us on our toes. How do we deal with these extremes in the outdoor business of landscaping? Through technology and experience, we can outsmart the elements to install water features, hardscapes and plants that stand the test of time. Bring your blue prints or ideas and make your landscaping a reality when you ask the questions and spend the time to sit down with Jack after the seminar to discuss ideas and options for turning an average lawn into a dream lawn.

Dave Sonka and Jack Dorcey

David has had a passion for drawing and creating art since early childhood. This passion has led him through college and the landscaping industry to become one of the Twin Cities’ premier landscape designers. His design skills, coupled with his extensive technical and horticultural knowledge and experience, makes David a valuable asset to a highly professional team of designers. Since 1994, David has created several hundreds of landscapes and over two hundred landscape projects ranging in scale from a few thousand to over a million dollars. David prides himself in artfully tailoring and personalizing the design to the wants, needs, and styles of each client, and sincerely enjoys meeting new people and new families along the way.

Jack was raised on a dairy farm in Nebraska. His interest in horticulture originated through 4-H. By Junior High, while preparing fields for planting, Jack decided that he was to become a landscape designer. At sixteen, Jack started working for the local nursery and landscaping company. He began working at the bottom of the crews but soon was leading his own crew and doing part time design work. While in college, Jack worked in the horticultural section for the Lincoln Parks Department. He then spent 4 years working as a full-time designer for a landscaping firm in Lincoln, NE. Teaming up with Bever Landscaping has now expanded the potential for what a Jack Dorcey landscape can be. Jack has a great ability to create spaces that make a yard into part of your home. Clients love his fun and laid back approach to the experience of landscaping.
