Other folks are DIYers who are revamping their outdoor living areas, building outdoor furniture, or planning an outdoor living room for the first time.

Granite Fire Pit

GREENSTONE recently started manufacturing granite fire pits. These fire pits are made from recycled granite and each one represents over 1,000 lbs of granite countertop scraps that was diverted from the landfill!

    thank you for the kind words. We pickup all the granite scrap waste from local countertop fabricators and recycle it into new products.

  • Most of the stuff just collected over the years...been trying to get some spreading things to fill in but the steppables etc don't like this and other things want to overtake...so we'll see how the alyssum does.

A Photo of My Junk Pile

I have lovingly called this my junkpile for several years it was the very first thing I did to start on such a huge task as my back yard. I just threw some allysum seeds in this week to see if I can get them to grown...added some more dirt... but overall it is what it is...a junkpile that I love...its right next to our bbq area and adds loads of interest to a normally ugly spot.
