Introducing Our Fossilscape Fire Ring

Cozy Fire Rings! 


These interlocking kits can be assembled in minutes!  Perfect for a warm bonfire this winter, or if you want it could easily be fabricated for grilling or apple butter by bolting/screwing directly into our cellulose concrete.  Use this ring for a stunning mulch bed around a tree, even a flowing fountain or an upper filtration pond!

 If you're located in Roanoke, find fire rings and our other cellulose hardscape products at The Turf Store/ Landscape Supply.

Another Testimonial for our Cellulose Building Blocks!


"We built our barn in the spring of 2009, and for the last two years I have noticed many benefits.  First, the look of the brick is very attractive, and I receive compliments about it from people just walking by.  In the winter, the barn stays warm enough because of the insulating properties of the brick that we do not need heated buckets to water the horses, which means no cords and fire risk.  In the summer, the barn holds a much more even temperature than traditional barns and the horses are cooler."


"The block also deadens the sound of traffic, thunder and lightning, and other sounds that can scare the horses.  Because of the great thermal properties and sound benefits, I have a very cozy barn with very happy horses.  Overall, I am pleased that we chose Builderscrete block, because it has such a nice look and performs well."

A Colorful Cobblestone Cottage


 This cozy home features our 8" Cobblestone series house block in a blend of our natural shades.  The window shown above really shows off the simplicity of our buildings as a single skin wall system.  Though the home owner in this situation used their own creativity to keep parts of the house open.  This allows for a work space on the ground level, and a open air living room upstairs, that features a fireplace with high ceilings and natural light.

A Completely Sustainable Outdoor Living Space By Builderscrete


This patio and flower bed featurs Fossilscape Pavers as well as our Castle-Garden edging bricks.  Both are made locally with our 50% recycled cellulose-concrete matrix, using very little carbon footprint.  Not only does this make for a truly green building material, there's also an insulation factor!  The insulated properties in our pavers allows for them to retain cool earth temperatures on the hottest of days, even in direct sunlight.  This means your patio, walkway, or edging will never burn up your plants, grass or bare feet!

A Super-Insulated home greening-up nicely!

               Here we have a home constructed with our Super-Insulator block reaching R-40 insulation and a completely unique look.  This patented block is so special because the insulating foam is actually contained in the core of each block, which themselves contain the entombed recycled cellulose material.  So you get the benefits of super insulation, with beautiful complete interior and exterior walls. 

Don't forget, these walls will respond to various fabrications just like timber, such as hanging pictures or mounting televisions, and are still as substantial as masonry.  So throw out your stud finders and check out the most beneficial green blocks on the market!

Some recent "Fossilscaping" in beloved Blacksburg



This backyard patio is just about finished, featuring our 24"x24" Fossilscape Pavers.  Due to the cellulose fibers in these pavers, it is much easier to make your cuts when customizing the shape of your patio.  All of the cutting for this job was accomplished using simple electric circular saws fixed with diamond blades.

Who else has a green veneer with an equally sustainable retaining wall?!





Striking Castle-face veneer, nestled in with our steadfast Castle-loc retaining wall system!
Here you will notice our signature drop down blocks for a smooth transition as the wall fades down with the natural grade.  Our cap blocks are also very sensible in that they drop down in the back.  So you can grade right up to the front edge of your wall for planting anything from grass to larger shrubs!
