WHEN OLDE NEW ENGLAND GRANITE PERSONNEL MAKE THE STATEMENT, “ADD A LITTLE HISTORY TOYOUR HARDSCAPE,” THEY CERTAINLY AREN’T KIDDING. AT THIS ONE-OFA- KIND SUPPLIER’S “GRANITE FARM” IN LYNNFIELD, MA, VISITORS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE A WIDE VARIETY OF RECLAIMED GRANITE PRODUCTS.

Among these products are hand split curbing, vintage cobblestones, antique pier and foundation blocks, original and hand split posts, columns, monuments and an array of other unique and historic granite pieces.

On Friday, September 16, 2011, the firm hosted its second annual “Granite Day,” which, frankly, rocked! The family-owned company opened its gates to contractors, landscape designers, architects, builders and homeowners alike to check out the most recent harvest of aged and weathered pieces at its Granite Farm.

Granite Day offered a perfect opportunity to showcase a new granite collection: stone from the historic Essex Merrimac Bridge. ONEG reclaimed pier blocks (assembled of the attractive and still popular Cape Ann Rockport Granite) from this now defunct structure, which was constructed in 1882. And Granite Day’s centerpiece was a striking outdoor shower installation, a fully functional water feature integrating granite and “green” aesthetics.

This highly unique stone application was positioned in the front of the Granite Farm’s courtyard, one of many rotating installations that ONEG features on a regular basis. Granite Day proved to be a great venue to update regular customers and potentially new clients to the limitless creative opportunities offered when using ONEG’s reclaimed granite.

ONEG Sales Manager Brad Parker, one of the firm’s hosts, stated, “I think this is a nice way to introduce new people to an old, time tested product… and this granite day won’t be their last!”
