Inspired by a yahoo article found here: http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/advisor/what-a-9-year-old-can-teach-you-about-selling.html about what kids can teach us about selling, we0 have put aside our planned blog post for the week and have decided instead to answer these three simple questions:
1. What do we do?
2. Why do people hire us?
Spring is here, which means Summer is just around the corner. In Oklahoma, that means outdoor entertaining season has arrived, and its time to start thinking about how you will spend your precious leisure time now that the days are long enough to have a few hours of sunlight after work!
Adding new products to our catalog is something we take very seriously here at Oklahoma Stone. When we look for new cultured or manufactured stone to offer to our clients, several qualities must be present. First, they must meet industry standards for strength and stability. Next, they must have authentic stone surfacing of the highest caliber, and last but not least, we consider price.
We hear it all the time, we didn't know you guys were here. In fact, sometimes we feel like one of those "Best Kept Secrets" everyone is always talking about. So, we thought we would take a few minutes to toot our own horn about the great products and service you get when you come to Oklahoma Stone.
Stone is stone, which means there is little in the way of “caring” for it to be done, which is part of the point, but, when the occasional cleaning, or sealing needs to be done, there are a few things to know about doing it right.
It's Spring, and time for outdoor improvements of all sorts and sizes. Oklahoma Stone is all stocked up and ready to serve all of your stone project needs. When it comes to creating with stone in your landscape, there are a few tips that the pros know that may help you in the long run.
Our modern world is filled with paved spaces, from highways that allow us to travel what would have been a days journey a century ago, in less than an hour, to sidewalks that take us to shopping, work and leisure spaces. When it comes to your yard, paved paths can be important too.
Stone is used to create borders, walkways and retaining walls in many yards, but what about some unusual uses for stone in a landscape that you might typically think of? Whether it be large stones, or small, stone can be used in many nontraditional ways. Here are a few.
Oklahoma Stone was proud to be represented by several of our customers at the recent Oklahoma City Home and Garden Show. Most notably, Rushing Design Group and Plan-It Lanscapes. In reviewing the photos we were reminded of two major styles of stone work that are used in landscaping.
Fireplaces are among our favorite things here at Oklahoma Stone. We sell everything from complete fireplace kits to decorative stone veneers so simple to install our office manager Kimberly did hers herself! When it comes to holiday décor not many features pack more punch than fireplaces. Here are a few tips for yours.
