Small Business Showcase - Garrison Concrete, Inc - Burlingame, KS

The Garrison family, long time clients of ours, own a concrete company in Osage County and reached out to us when we announced that we were doing small business shoots. It was great to be able to create these images for them. They are a wonderful small business which I’ve seen has received praise for their great work. It’s an honor to include them on our blog as one of our featured small businesses. Thanks for checking out their shoot and interview. Hope you learn a little bit about them and reach out to them if you need concrete work done.

T.H. Peterson: How did you get into concrete work? How long have you done it?

Garrison:  I have been doing concrete since I was 13. My next door neighbor growing up owned a concrete company. I started as a laborer and as soon as I graduated high school I was promoted to foreman. We still work together on some jobs today!

T.H. P.: Talk to me about the scope of your work. What kinds of jobs do you do?

Garrison: We do anything concrete and more - both residential and commercial! We do flat work (driveways, sidewalks, patios), stamped and/or colored concrete, concrete countertops and fireplace hearths, demolition, and so much more. One of the nice things about the job is that every day is different. One day we could be doing a residential driveway, the next we restored the brick road in Burlingame!

T.H. P.: What is your favorite type of job to do?

Garrison: My new favorite has to be the concrete countertops and fireplace hearths. They take a ton of precision and details, but they are a lot of fun to design!




 


T.H. P.: What have you found to be the best form of marketing for your business?

Garrison: Best form of marketing for us is definitely word of month and Facebook. Our business is successful today because of all the great clients recommending us to others, which we really appreciate! We are also actively involved in the community - 2 time champs of the Burlingame Rodeo Days Parade!

T.H. P.: Tell me a little bit about your crew.

Garrison: Our crew consists of Josh, Jeff, Bam, Keggin (& baby CJ), Cameron, Emily, plus myself and my wife, Sam. 


Josh has been with us the longest. He’s the really tall one running the loader.


Jeff has been working with us since he was 15! You’ll find him rocking the mullet on the job site. 


Bam and Keggin are expecting the newest member of the crew in September!👶🏻 Keggin is our awesome office manager. 


Cameron is our newest addition to the crew. Emily is our social media manager, crafting all of our awesome posts. And Sam keeps everything running smoothly - we have nicknamed her “HR”.

T.H. P.: How can the public get ahold of you?

Garrison: You can call or text Dave at 785-393-2833 or send us a message on Facebook!

T.H. P.: What would you like everyone to know about your business?

Garrison: We are a family owned business, passionate about helping our community. This is why we take special care, working hand-in-hand, with our clients to create a plan that will fit into their personal budget. At Garrison Concrete, we believe in doing work right at a price that’s fair and honest.
