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!

First blog on the updated Yerbey.com - TORNADOS!

After weathering the 1st of 3 storms at the office, watching out the window, all of us at Yerbey managed to get what we needed and to our homes before the 2nd storm hit. Our power went out Wednesday morning, which shut us down until it came back on sometime Saturday afternoon/Sunday. All of us in the office are incredibly thankful and amazed that our homes are still standing with fixable damage and almost all of our power is restored.

Thank you to all the EPB, TVA and whoever else is out there restoring power and water for all your hard, long days! We greatly appreciate the work you're doing during this time of need.

That being said, we are now back at the office working on bids and getting caught up on all the work we left Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. You can now call the office again with any questions and our email is back up and running. Thanks for your patience!

To all those who have lost homes, businesses, family members and friends, our thoughts and prayers are with you right now.
