"We met Christian at the HVCC garden show and his pond & waterfall displays, and enthusiasm, caught our attention. When he came to our yard for an appraisal he immediately had an eye for exactly the best location for a waterfall feature along our garden fencescaping. His recommendations sounded intriguing so we trusted his vision. When Christian showed up for the job he had all the building materials he needed, as well as boulders, rocks and stones of all sizes organized by size in pails. He outlined his plans and convinced me to allow the waterfall feature to take a little more space than I originally had in mind. I'm so glad he did....if anything, in retrospect, I wish I had agreed to make it even bigger! I needed to dig out and relocate a whole section of our garden perennials in preparation for the project, but it was worth all the effort. Oh my gosh, what amazing work Christian does! In two days (!) he transformed this huge dug out crater of dirt into a natural looking landscape of banked boulders, tiered waterfalls, and little wells of water among "spilling" rocks and stones. He left pockets of dirt for us to personalize with plants and flowers and even finished the details with driftwood and moss he had foraged from woods and riverbanks. Each of the three waterfalls are uplighted which makes for a mystical look at night. It seems the happier we were with the ongoing results the more ideas he came up with to please us. I start and end each day with a cup of coffee by our waterscape, relaxing with the sounds of a running mountain stream. We are beyond thrilled with the results! Christian is professional, hard working, and responsive to your questions and concerns, and is only a phone call away when you need a little advice about maintenance. In a time of questionable commitment from contractors it has been a pleasure to have one who lives up to your trust in every possible way. Artists use their favorite medium to create art.....paint, marble, wood, fabric. Christian creates art from dirt and stone and his vision transforms into a masterpiece. Thank you, Christian. You are an amazing artist."

"This was a fairly small project to put fresh cement on an apron in front of our detatched garage and replace old cement from a narrow walkway along side my house. Nicholas came in with a price significantly lower than the other bidders and had no privious recommendations on Angi so I was a bit concerned. However he and his crew came on time, worked hard through the day to prepare the areas, then a follow up day to pour the concrete. Nick then returned to remove the forms and fill in the soil around the edges. Work was need, quick, and well done. Nick was responsive to all of our questions. We are extremely pleased and would recommend Green Vision without hesitation."

The manufacturing process for porcelain pavers involves sophisticated techniques that create exceptionally dense, non-porous materials. Clay components undergo extreme high-temperature firing that produces remarkable durability and consistency.
The precision manufacturing ensures uniform dimensions and thickness, while advanced glazing processes create weather-resistant surfaces with consistent coloration that withstands years of sun exposure without fading.
Porcelain pavers are highly durable and designed for long-term outdoor use. Their exceptional resistance to moisture, freezing conditions, UV exposure, and physical stress makes them one of the most enduring paving materials available. With proper installation and minimal maintenance, porcelain pavers maintain their appearance and structural integrity for decades, often outlasting alternative paving materials.
Yes, existing concrete can serve as a base for new porcelain pavers if the concrete is structurally sound without significant cracking or settling. By installing porcelain pavers over existing concrete, you may avoid demolition expenses that can add $2,000 to $10,000 to your project.
Professional assessment is essential to determine whether your concrete provides a suitable foundation and which installation method—pedestal systems or direct adhesion—will deliver the best results.
