Plain concrete, reborn as natural shale.
In Strongsville, Ohio, Boulderscape® refaced a run of existing cast-in-place walls into a striking geological feature. Our crew drilled and epoxied dowels into the original concrete, tied in a heavy wire-mesh reinforcement, and placed a fresh layer of structural shotcrete locked tight to the wall.
Then our artisans went to work by hand — carving and staining the surface into a custom "Strongsville Shale" finish that reads like a natural rock outcrop.
In just 8 days, our team installed:
- 4" of structural shotcrete + a 1"–3" architectural layer
- 19,000 square feet of sculpted wall surface
- A hand-carved Strongsville Shale finish
The result delivered 36% average savings over traditional construction — turning ordinary shoring walls into a landmark.
Project Highlights:
- Boulderscape Finish: Strongsville Shale
- Color Scheme: Medium Earth Blend
- Shoring System: Cast in Place
- Shotcrete Mix Design: 4,500 PSI
- Average Relief: 2"
At Boulderscape, shotcrete isn't just a structural solution. It's a precision tool for turning concrete into art.
