The program offers a basic class, in a one day format that provides a general overview of the Buddy Rhodes techniques, including how to make and pack molds, and to mix, color, and seal. The goal is teach installers how to avoid mistakes, and to start to understand how all of the products are used.

Attached you will find a sign up sheet that you can print out and fax back to us. Buddy Rhodes has asked us to limit the class size to no more than twelve to fifteen. For that reason, we are limiting the attendance to one representative per company. We are asking that all attendees pay in advance to insure that we have a full class. We will provide coffee and donuts in the morning, and will bring in pizza and soda for lunch. For directions, log onto www.camosse.com and hit the "find directions" button. We now have products in stock at our Worcester location. Please call for price and availability of our starting inventory.

We are currently planning on offering the following program in the near future.

Comprehensive Training (Phase II)

Designed for the concrete contractor who is making a commitment to the decorative concrete marketplace, this program offers a concentrated curriculum for fabricators in a two day format. The workshop provides in-depth training in templating, mold making, pre-casting using Buddy’s signature pressed, toweled and ground surfaces, and finishing techniques. By the end of this workshop, the contractor will be fully capable of producing high quality, Buddy Rhodes-style countertops.

Self Contained Water Features




Spring is almost here and we've got truck loads of new material ready to be installed in your yards.

Our newest product is the self contained water feature. This is ideal for in or outdoor settings.

A large poly tub stores water while a reinforced aluminum grate supports the stone feature. A submersed pump sends water up the center of the stone, over-flowing back into the tub. Assorted beach pebbles cover the grate and create an endless water fall.

We have dozens of stones to pick from.

Have a unique landscape in your own backyard.

The first picture is the back splash in the kitchen cultured brick only and the rest is the latest. My bedroom wall is cultured brick and cultured stone. We used Bucks County, 773 bricks and a whole box of stone, even some real stones in there. Wow, what a project. It took me about a month to complete working nights after work till it was done.

Alliance Super Sand







Polymeric joint sand for use with most types of landscaping pavers such as :

  • brick pavers
  • limestone pavers
  • concrete pavers
  • stone pavers
  • patio pavers
  • interlocking pavers
  • driveway pavers

SuperSand Bond polymeric sand

SuperSand Bond is a unique mixture of polymer binders and a calibrated sand, available in brown or grey. The installation of this polymeric sand is almost identical to using regular paver joint sand, except for the application of water. Once SuperSand Bond sets, it becomes very firm and locks between the paver joints. This firm bond maintains pavers securely in place, being equally effective on both horizontal and sloped surfaces. It also withstands erosion due to climatic conditions, such as wind, rain and freezing temperatures. SuperSand Bond is recommended for a variety of uses, including pool sides, patios, foot paths, driveways, parking spaces, pavements, etc.

Ideal stabilizing sand to fill paver joint

SuperSand Bond has the ability to expand and condense. This elasticity ensures that the paver joints avoid cracking and are properly filled at all times. Thus, it will also help prevent insect penetration and weed sprouting. SuperSand Bond should only be used when pavers or tiles are installed on a drainage bed system (stone dust, crushed stone, sand). It is not recommended when pavers or tiles are set above a concrete base. Make your home a more beautiful place to live with the texture, pattern and color of pavers. Pavers are locally available in a variety of warm colors, and enable you to personalize any outdoor area. Natural or concrete pavers provide a durable and beautiful alternative to concrete or asphalt for patios, walkways, driveways, even streets. Over 200 million square feet of pavers have been installed in North America, and the popularity of these materials is rising steadily. Numerous options exist for size, shape, color and texture. When installed using a polymeric sand such as SuperSandBond, the surface is flexible, withstanding loads, wear and weather. Application of SuperSand Bond polymeric sand is almost identical to using regular joint sand. The only difference is the application of water. Once SuperSandBond dries, the product stabilizes to a firm yet flexible consistency and "locks" permanently into the joints. The joints eliminate the cracking common to concrete surfaces. Pavers stand up well to snow removal processes and resist deicing salts better than conventional asphalt or concrete pavement.

Features

  • Helps prevent weed sprouting
  • Helps prevent damages caused by insects
  • Helps prevent water erosion
  • Sets as soon as water is sprayed
  • Sets at above freezing temperature (0 C - 32 F)
  • Can be applied even if storm is expected (3 hours at a minimum before it rains).
  • Will maintain elasticity under weather conditions, insuring that paver joints are always properly filled.
  • Does not stain paving stone.

Winter Care for your Outdoor Statuary

Below are a few measures your should take to ensure that your statuary and lawn ornaments stay in top condition!


Statue Care:

Its important to take good care of your concrete or stone statuary during winter months. Keep your statuary & lawn ornaments indoors if possible. If you do not have a space to store your statuary, larger pieces can be wrapped in a tarp to protect them. Its important to store them in a dry area away from dirt & moisture. Statues can be placed on a patio block for stability and protection from moisture. All statuary/fountains containing water must be emptied before the winter months. If water is not emptied, it can cause your statuary to crack. Although these products are ment to handle outdoor conditions, they can still get damaged when not properly taken care of. If your piece does show damage, repair it asap. You can stain and reseal warn out parts.

Its good practice to seal your statuary once a year with a clear, exterior concrete sealer.


Contact us today to order your exterior concrete sealer!
