The Future of Stormwater Irrigation

March 18, 2025

One of the most popular environmental issues being discussed globally is the issue of limited fresh water. It is no secret that industries everywhere have been shifting their focus to more environmentally friendly efforts. Here in North America, citizens use fresh water every day for simple things like, flushing the toilet and watering plants and grass. One of the most popular ways to avoid using the limited fresh water supply on tasks where it’s not necessary is by using Storm Water; often, people don’t realize that they could be utilizing Storm Water in a variety of different applications. In recent years many municipalities have been creating laws pertaining to the control of stormwater runoff and systems needed in place to manage it. This is where our incredibly popular and often asked about product comes into play; Form & Build is the proud Ontario-wide exclusive supplier of ABT’s Permavoid, which has been the talk of many trade shows and our most popular lunch and learn topic.

Why Stamped Concrete is the Right Answer

March 18, 2025

Is it Cost-Effective? Stamped concrete, otherwise known as textured, imprinted, or decorative concrete, can replicate stones (such as slate and flagstone), tile, brick and even wood. Often used as an alternative to patio brick, paving stone, and other paving options. The concrete used in stamped concrete is more affordable than stone used in other methods, and installation costs for concrete pouring are more inexpensive than the labour costs for other jobs. The maintenance required for stamped concrete is not only easier but is also more affordable.
