Carve would like to give Heather M. Burkert, RLA, LEED - AP

John Jarvis (the O.G. MIH'er), Lindey White (El Captain), John White (J Dub) 

I would also like to thank Gordan Singletary of  S and W Concrete.

He coordinated all of our concrete trucks and was possibly the 

most vital link to this project for Carve. I think Carve still
owes him lunch. 

Skip, a sort of Renaissance Man.  He believes the world would be better if 
Wal-mart didn't exist and everything was made by hand.
Without Skip Carve would not be where we are today.
And we would probably  be just another lame concrete design company. 

Seth a very accomplished concrete artistian.
Maybe you've seen his work in a magazine...

This Old House or Front Cover of Dwell.
Seriously we are fortunate to have this guy in our lives and this project. Big thanks.

Carve also owes a great deal of gratitude to 

John and Lindey White of Sound Side Carpentry

These guys have mastered the art of woodworking

and we look forward to the next project.

I thought the wood looked just as sexy as the finished product.

Shell Island Project consisted of complex curves and angles.
We hand poured some walls and ready-mix pumped others.

These 3 particular planter walls were 30,000 lbs or almost 400 bags of Quikrete 5000.   

Techniques of formworks used were cast in place and slip forms.
