See you in 2013!

As the year closes, our Main Terrain project gets closer and closer to completion.

See you all in the new year!

End of the year work

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Yerbey is out here working hard to get our impressive Main Terrain project finished up!

The bike shelter is going in, the last of the sidewalk is getting close and the landscaping guys are working tirelessly to get done by our January 16th deadline. Thanks to our our wonderful subcontractors for all your hard work on this fast-moving project. We look forward to seeing you all at the grand opening in the new year!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all our clients, subs, vendors and everyone else that Yerbey Concrete has had the joy of working with this past year!

We are truly grateful for the year the Lord has given us and pray that next year is even better!

See you all in 2013!

The art has arrived!

Even though Yerbey has had many 'exciting' moments working on the Main Terrain Art park in Chattanooga's Southside, the most exciting part for the public is the arrival and installation of the 9 concrete and metal art pieces. Today, Thomas Sayre, the artist selected by the City of Chattanooga to produce the art for the Art Park has started unloading and setting the first 6 of his 9 precast concrete structures that the 'Market Street Bridge' metal pieces will sit atop. For the first time since the park construction has started, it's beginning to look like an actual ART PARK! The excitement is contagious as members of local news, Public Art Chattanooga, Allied Arts, Get Built and Playcore came out to see the progress.

Young Life

Yerbey Concrete is a big supporter of Young Life in Chattanooga.  Mark Settles is on the board and helps out quite a bit with the organization through volunteer work.  Gary and Darlene Yerbey, Mark and Becky Settles, and Jimmy and Luann Eller atteneded the 2012 banquet at Track 29 on Monday night where the theme was Broadway.  The banquet was, as usual, enjoyable with good company and entertainment from many of the Young Life area leaders.  The banquet is a big fundraiser for Young Life and we like to show our support through that along with the yearly golf tounament and shooting event.  This year we also invited one of our suppliers whose children have enjoyed being a part of Young Life club and camps.  We are always happy to share our love of wonderful Christian organizations, such as Young Life with others.  Look for us at next years banquet or the spring golf tournament!

Happy Halloween!

Even though we're known for taking care of business, every once in a while we like to have a little fun too, so

 HAPPY HALLOWEEN

to all our customers, generals, suppliers and friends!

Let the holiday season begin!

Main Terrain chuggin along

Well, it's now been about a month since the Main Terrain project has started and as usual, we're chugging right along and making good time. We've cleaned up the site, poured art foundations, dug the new retention ponds and done a lot of underground work for the new rain harvesting system being installed, but nothing makes us happier here at Yerbey to see CONCRETE on the ground and that's what we're doing today! This week we started pouring the 3 center rings that will go around the 3 main pieces of art in the middle of the park. These circles are no laughing matter either. Each one has to be dead on in height and joint pattern so that the rest of the park will be able to fall into place correctly. Thanks to our Project Manager, Seth Williams, that's exactly what we accomplished! Not everyone can put together a project with such precision as our guys. We pride ourselves on doing this kind of detailed work and prove it over and over to our clients. We'll do it right or we won't take the project!

Check back for more progress later!

Main Terrain Art Park

Watch out Chattanooga...Yerbey Concrete is part of yet another city changing project!

Southside's new Main Terrain Art Park construction has begun on the not-so-pretty tract of land connecting Main Street to 13th Street at the entrance of the Chattanoogan. This forgotten piece of land has spent years becoming overgrown after it's heyday in the early part of the 20th century as part of Chattanooga's train system.

This new park will be unlike any other in Chattanooga (which is such a Chattanooga thing to do) in that it will not only be a gorgeous place to come and hang out, but it will incorporate 5 fitness stations being coordinated by Get Built Chattanooga and 9 total art pieces by Thomas Sayre of North Carolina. Public Art of Chattanooga has brought Mr. Sayre in with his innovative interactive art pieces, which when moved will resemble our beloved Market Street bridge...thus spanning the gap between the Riverfront and our ever-growing Southside.

Thanks to the City of Chattanooga for giving us the opportunity to work on this groundbreaking project!
