<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOf course, a retaining wall\u2019s not really complete until the owner who is paying for it is satisfied. That\u2019s why CornerStone spent time perfecting MaxumStone\u2019s aesthetics along with its structure. The result is a system that allows Engineers a terrific amount of freedom in designing their own retaining wall projects, from 20ft + gravity walls to geogrid and even Positive connection walls using 1 block system provides significant advantages to the design community.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Those options are made possible by a bit of a departure for CornerStone: while their small-block products are produced using a machine-intensive dry-casting process, MaxumStone is wet cast concrete. This involves pouring a fairly typical concrete mix with minimum 4,000 PSI into a custom-designed mold and using a combination of additives and precisely controlled environmental conditions to ensure that the result cures to exactly the desired end result.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cDry casting block has a lot to do with calibration and the equipment is very costly,\u201d Michaud points out. \u201cIt\u2019s not easy, but it\u2019s relatively predictable. Wet casting on our scale, for our purposes, is currently the way to go and needs the right team. That\u2019s why Lee Brick and Block is the perfect manufacturer that we trust with MaxumStone.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
And with good reason. Over the course of Lee Building Product\u2019s 55 years in the masonry business and nearly 45 years as a manufacturer, it has become one of the Kentucky and Tennessee regions foremost producers of architectural block and hardscape solutions, such as retaining walls and paving stone products. In fact, it is one of only a few manufacturers of architectural block to earn a UL rating. Despite its reputation and steady success, the business had stayed in the Lee family in Kentucky and Tennessee: all ten of its locations are within the Two states.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
That means quite a bit to company President Carol Lee. \u201cWe\u2019re always looking for better, greener and inventive options for our clients,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd we\u2019re very excited to offer the MaxumStone retaining wall system to our very large base of engineers and contractors and architects here in the Kentucky, Tennessee region.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
