Belgard Hardscapes

Your home is a reflection of your personal style, with individual nuances that extend all the way to the edge of the property line. Whether it comes to creating a grand entrance to your home or a luxury backyard oasis, Belgard® Hardscapes continually maintains the forefront of outdoor living trends and offers a wide range of designer pavers and garden walls to enhance your outdoor living environment and showcase your unique personality.

Paving the Way
Industry leaders in upscale hardscapes, Belgard offers an array of paver styles, colors, and textures for patios, walkways, driveways and pool decking. The Natural Collection features six paver styles, each crafted with uniquely contoured surfaces to create a truly organic look and feel. Belgard’s Antique Collection features three paver styles that recall the time-honed appearance of Old European brick. The Classic Collection features smooth surfaces and clean lines in a versatile combination ideal for high-traffic areas.

Beautifully Green
One of Belgard’s fastest growing product lines is the Environmental Collection, which features striking permeable pavers that reduce pollution from rainwater runoff and provide stormwater management solutions. Belgard’s permeable pavers perform at five times 100-year storm standards and can also be used in conjunction with a rainwater harvesting device to create a beautiful, self-sustaining garden irrigation system.

Wall-to-Wall Design Options
Belgard’s Walls Collection offers unlimited ways to add dimension to your outdoor environment with garden walls, seat walls, and retaining walls. These textured wall systems are available in a number of styles and colors that evoke a timeless feel reminiscent of Old European stonework. Designed to handle both erosion control and grade separation of various elevations, Belgard wall products are ideal for retaining walls up to eight feet in height and offer the design flexibility of both curved lines and 90 degree corners. All wall products adhere to the strictest engineering codes to resist sliding and overturning. Belgard’s wall products can also be used to wrap columns or to build parapet walls for dividing an outdoor space into separate outdoor “rooms”.

Revolution in Outdoor Design
Belgard recently partnered with a number of companies to create the innovative outdoor living Belgard Elements Collection. This collection of pre-built modular hardscape elements makes creating a luxury outdoor living space easier than ever. Modular components clad with Belgard wall products are created in a controlled environment and shipped on a pallet for quick installation, affording custom outdoor designs with minimal interruption and invasion of your lifestyle. Elements include outdoor kitchen units, brick ovens, fireplaces, fire pits, water features, and a large assortment of decorative pieces in a variety of styles. All elements are designed to coordinate with Belgard pavers and walls for an overall cohesive look.

Habersham

Some things in life are not meant for mere words. It's as if there exists some invisible line between what you see and touch and what you actually "feel." 

The artisans at Habersham cross that line, in the creation of stunning inspirations that embrace "you," as well as the way you live.

In the clutter of imitations Habersham stands as a delightfully refreshing testament to the world of possibility. When founder Joyce Eddy was left holding two boys and ends that did not meet, she unveiled the creativity within. 

In seeming homage to the notion of the struggling artist, Joyce envisioned something else, something more as she gazed upon a stock room of old wooden cigar boxes.  Seemingly overnight her adorable vintage "cigar" purses made a connection that swept them from their rural Georgia roots onto the walks of Park Avenue, Beverly Hills and beyond. 

A visionary was born, and soon the Eddy's were creating engaging home furnishings with a grace and rhythm that seemed to speak directly to the heart of women. Elegant, worldly and yet so wonderfully accessible. Habersham leaves behind the "don't touch" mentality of the past inviting all to touch, to feel, to live. 

Open your home, your heart to a love affair of possibility found in the distinctive heirloom destined designs that are uniquely Habersham.

Van Kirk & Sons, Inc.

Paradise in Your Own Backyard

Living in today’s society can be hectic and tiresome.  Busy schedules keep us in constant motion morning, noon and night.  Trying to juggle responsibilities between home and work is often a difficult task.  Once the exhaustion factor comes into play, we yearn for an escape to where peace and tranquility exists.  A vacation to paradise sounds wonderful, but unfortunately for many, time restrictions and money become major issues.  However, there is an alternative for finding paradise.  Bobby Van Kirk and his brother Tim Van Kirk, CEOs for Van Kirk & Sons, Pools and Spas, Inc. believe that we do not have to travel beyond our own backyard to find a relaxing get-a-way.  These luxury designers can build the pool of your dreams.  “The ability to take someone’s ideas and transform them into reality is thrilling for us as well as our customers,” says Bobby.

Pool Designs at Van Kirk & Sons, Inc. are exotic in nature and the most popular creations range from the lagoon to the straight-line styles. Typically a designer will meet with the client and get their ideas as well to see the area where the pool is to be constructed, from this point a pool is designed with both the expertise of the designer so that the pool fits the yard and the customer’s idea becomes a reality. Debra Juel, customer, is very happy with her pool.  She says, “The artistry and technique that goes into building these pools is quite amazing.  You are not just getting a typical concrete pool. There is landscaping, lighting, flooring and much more that provide a relaxing atmosphere. Hanging out at the lagoon in my back patio is the perfect way to spend my weekend holiday.”

Swimming pools today are designed for more than just a lap or two- they are the centerpieces of sumptuous backyard retreats, complete with waterfalls, fountains, beach entrances, glass tile, spas, grottos and lush landscaping. To achieve this, have Van Kirk & Sons, Inc. create or remodel a custom pool for you today!
