6464 Broadmoor SE, Caledonia (616) 698-6910 harderandwarner.com Owners: Archie A. Warner & Erma Warner Legacy: The award-winning Harder & Warner Landscaping & Garden Center has been “Where the good things Grow” in Grand Rapids since 1945. Offering complete landscape design, a full-service garden center and a 13-acre walk-through nursery.

Inspiration: “I find inspiration everywhere,” said landscape designer Archie John Warner.

“From what I’ve done in the past, what I’ve learned over the years, what I see when I travel, from reading trade magazines, journals and catalogs, and knowing what kind of plants and small trees are out there and their various qualities. I also get inspiration from the property and homeowners I’m working with.

From the moment you spot the Harder & Warner Nursery site at 6464 Broadmoor SE, you know you are someplace special.

A family of giant elephants — purchased from ArtPrize 2010 — graces the front lawn of their extensive retail nursery and garden center.

You’ll find their friendly and knowledgeable staff is committed to providing solutions to your landscaping needs — whether you are just stopping by to pick up a few plants or decorative pieces for your garden, or need full-scale landscape design services. They even offer a complimentary design with their “We Plan, You Plant” service.

Thriving and innovative, the family-owned company has brought natural elegance and beauty to thousands of homes and businesses for close to seven decades. Their professional designers take special care upfront to fully understand your landscape needs and desires from both a design and maintenance perspective and will oversee every aspect of its implementation to

ensure complete satisfaction. And for those who have difficulty envisioning a design, you can wander through the fully stocked garden center and personally select your own plants, trees, and even accents like statuary and water features.

“It’s an interactive atmosphere. If a shrub or tree doesn’t work for you, I have 20 others that will fit your situation,” said landscape designer Archie John Warner. “The most important thing for me is to always fit the person — their needs and wants — with the actual landscape. There are so many different small aspects that go into a landscape design besides the plants: sentimental, personal touches, traffic patterns, custom walkways and patios, and other hardscape features that really add personality to a landscape.

Ultimately it’s about taking care of our customers and doing things right the first time so they can enjoy their outdoor living environment throughout the seasons.”

Archie John Warner: “I really love to see my landscapes that have been well maintained: weeded, watered and fertilized.

It means a lot to me three to five years down the road when I see people have really taken care of their landscape.”

ew design elements add as much panache to a kitchen than its countertops. That makes it one of the easiest ways to build in personal style during new construction or to punch up a tired or outdated look.

Today’s countertop options are not only plentiful but as functional as they are beautiful according to Julie VanderArk, designer and sales consultant with

Williams Kitchen & Bath — a local full-service store with a showroom that offers the whole gamut from professional kitchen design to products and plumbing services.

“National magazines always feature Carrara marble countertops, which are beautiful, but the marble is very soft and can stain,” VanderArk said, noting that while granite continues to be a popular countertop choice, 11

To stay apace, granite providers now offer a 15-year sealer to minimize maintenance. “Both quartz and granite are the frontrunners Earth tone stained and acid washed finish in popularity and are really mimics the look of natural stone. very similar now: They have the same heat- and scratchresistant properties; they’re the same thickness, and they both come in a slab so you can For real one-of-a-kind style, a visit to the Jenison showroom of have under-mount sinks,” VanderArk continued. “A big trend is Hard Topix Precast Concrete will convince even the most skeptihaving under-mount sinks in similar materials.” She explained cal of the wonders and seemingly unending options of concrete. that quartz sinks — ironically named Silgranite and made by In fact, the International Surface Fabrication Association predicts such companies as Swanstone, Elkay, and Blanco — won’t it to be the next biggest thing, destined to outpace granite, said stain, scratch, chip or peel like sinks of yore. “They’re extremely company founder David Eerdmans. durable, come in a variety of colors, are easy to clean, can be under-mounted or top-mounted and are affordably priced.”

Specializing in concrete countertops as well as other concrete surfaces such as fireplace surrounds, wall and shower panels, From an affordability standpoint, laminate countertops remain a sinks, vanities, outdoor cooktops and decorative art pieces, solid option. “Laminate has come a long way in its design. It’s Hard Topix has over 500 projects under their belt and has permore durable, heat resistant and very affordable,” VanderArk fected the precast process. “A lot of what you read online about continued. “Laminate offers beautiful colors and can even mimic concrete is now outdated,” Eerdmans pointed out. “There’s a the look of granite; plus you can misconception that it’s high mainget post-form laminate countertops tenance and can crack, but the with molded edges instead of that new technology has come so far old builder’s square profile, so you that those aren’t issues as long as can have a bull-nose, ogee or you’re working with a qualified waterfall edge.” contractor who knows and understands concrete.”

today’s homeowners are trending towards quartz.

“It can mimic the look of the marble, but it’s nonporous, doesn’t stain, and is extremely durable.” An engineered product, quartz offers a wide range of color options and is compressed so tightly that it’s nonporous, which means very little maintenance. “It never needs to be sealed. Just a little polish with a cleaner now and again will keep it lustrous and beautiful.”

application,” he explained. “Countertops need a specific mix design for casting thinner slabs that won’t curl or crack and can stand the test of time. It tests out at over 9,000-psi so it’s dense and strong. In comparison, a driveway is around 4,000-psi.”

The proper sealer is important to protect the concrete from staining.

“The new technology in sealers has come a long way. The UV sealer we use doesn’t require waxing and is virtually stain-proof.”

Eerdmans still recommends the use of cutting boards and hot pads to avoid compromising the topical sealer, but one of the beauties of concrete is that trivets, cutting boards, soap knockouts, towel racks and other special requirements can be built into the design.

“We work closely with our clients to help them realize their vision and create a design that fits their own personality and style.”

Constructed using local, sustainable and recyclable materials, concrete is not only versatile, but also is the perfect choice for the green consumer. Because it is a poured substance, it can take on any shape, have any type of edge profile or inlay — from crushed glass or mirror chips to mother-of-pearl or natural stone — and can be finished with a high polish or Old World rustic appeal.

Through an association with Benjamin Moore, Hard Topix offers thousands of color options. “Each piece is handcrafted and custom made,” Eerdmans continued. “We’ve even designed one with a river of glass down the center that lights up with fiber optics, while another client brought in wine bottles that were crushed and polished and integrated into the design. Its versatility makes concrete a fitting choice for anything from an ultramodern house to a rustic log cabin.” The whole process takes three to four weeks and after the design session with a client, Hard Topix will create a custom sample to cement the vision prior to the pour.

Another great design element available through the use of concrete is integral sinks that can take on any form. “That’s one of the neat things about concrete that you really can’t do with any other solid surfaces,” Eerdmans said. “If you can imagine it, we can make it for you.”
