12 January/February 2017 Landscape and Irrigation Concrete Paver Residential – More than 3,000 square feet Winner: Nevada Wolfpack Basketball Court Location: Reno, Nev. Contractor: Hain Enterprises Manufacturer: Basalite Concrete Products Designer: Mark Hain Description: Always up for a creative challenge, Mark Hain of Hain Enterprises was asked to create a basketball court for a customer that replicated the basketball court at The University of Nevada, Reno's Lawlor Events Center on their property. Hain obtained access to the actual court at the Lawlor Events Center, creating a template over the center court logo and then took his customer's open-space land to create a beautiful and intricate concrete paver design. Through painstaking scribing and an insistence on precision hand- made cuts, Hain's crews crafted a court that is the envy of all Nevada Wolfpack fans, and one that will last a lifetime. His use of several different paver colors and shapes to enhance the periphery of the logo also helped create a complete artistic canvas, in addition to the replication of the logo. Concrete Paver Permeable Residential Winner: Post Oak Community Location: Atlanta Contractor: Surfaces Group, LLC Manufacturer: Pavestone Company Designer: Watts & Browning Engineers, Inc. Description: Post Oak Community is a private subdivision roadway of beauty and interest in an upscale Atlanta suburb. The permeable paver design was required to meet the impervious cover limitations and water quality requirements. The Pavestone Eco-Venetian was selected as the 4-piece combo provides a striking visual interest to the pavement. The designer, Watts & Browning Engineers out of Marietta, Ga., was also able to manage storm drainage and provide stormwater retention with the benefit of an aesthetic that matches the design of the new homes while complementing the surrounding existing homes. The warmth of the Chattanooga Sandstone color includes the earth tones of buff and charcoal to make a subtle blend that of a natural stone. LANDSCAPE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
