The 2006 Project of the Year was a single-family residence for Tom and Heather Golisano in Mendon.  This two-year construction project consisted of a week of basement digging and months of site preparation and grading.  The conclusion of the project included a 18,000 square-foot driveway and parking area.

Phase one of the project included more than a week of excavator and bulldozer work for the basement dig.  During the construction of the basement, our tree crew removed dead and dying trees, brush and debris through the 20+ acres of woods.

Following several weeks of work removing debris, we began removing stumps, grading, rockhounding and hydroseeding with a low-gro grass.  Despite the dry summer, we had success with grass establishment.

Our hardscape construction crew took over next with the installation of a 18,000 square-foot driveway running from a covered bridge and continuing up to the residence and throughout the motor court.  The driveway included unique curbing and radiant heating.

 

Upon entering the property, the driveway crosses picturesque Irondequoit Creek.  After crossing the creek, their home and new one-acre pond become visible.  During the pond construction, we trucked the excavated fill throughout the property to establish the proper grades.

 

The house is currently in the final stages of construction, with landscaping to follow in 2007.  We would like to thank Tom & Heather Golisano and Dominick Caroselli of Cambridge Park Development, Inc. for retaining us.
