Go Green

Want to make sure your concrete project is environmentally responsible? It all starts with the mix...

At Concrete Artisans, we...

  • Offer a 100% Maine-made product
  • Use locally produced materials in our mix design
  • Reuse our mold-making materials many times, so they don't just end up in a landfill
  • Buy lumber and other materials that are certified sustainable
  • Treat our surfaces with low-emitting sealers and waxes

And, unlike granite and other stone products that start as slabs, are cut to shape, and leave scrap to discard, molded concrete leaves behind minimal – or no – waste.

We believe in helping to preserve our environment in any way we can.

Coming soon... WindSwept, our even more environmentally-friendly concrete product, mixed using 80 percent recycled glass, seafood shells, or fly ash – materials that actually enhance the strength and durability of concrete.

And there's more...

  • We're making plans to convert our delivery vehicles to bio-diesel, a fuel produced right at our shop from vegetable oils we obtain from local restaurants and recycle.
  • Our shop uses 100% recycled office paper for mailings, marketing materials, and printing – and we make sure it all gets recycled again.
  • We'll also recycle any of your old or discarded stone countertops. We crush them into an aggregate and use the material in our concrete mix.
