he home of antique dealer John Olsen is a showplace, featuring unique furnishings and a stunning four level fountain overlooking a small lake. Positioned deep in a wooded area near Dallas, Georgia, the driveway runs 1500 feet through some beautiful forest.

When it came time to pave the drive, Olsen chose SF-Rima pavers to protect vegetation and prevent damage an impervious surface would inflict on the delicate environment. Over 30-thousand square feet of SF-Rima pavers were installed in the drive and adjacent parking area.

Olsen had a trench drain installed to prevent runoff from entering a garage. “Before the rainwater gets to the trench drain, it has to get past the SF-Rima pavement," says Olsen. "I've witnessed a 3-inch per hour rainfall and the bottom of the trench did not have any water running in it. It was only damp. It was amazing how well the SF-Rima worked," he says.
