From our modest beginnings during the Great Depression, a family legacy has been built that grows stronger with each passing year. This year is no different. As we look back on the Alfred R., Kennedy, Sr; Lewis M. Kennedy, Garfield Kennedy and Ernest Kennedy past, we remember the contributions made by three successive generations of industry innovators. Lewis M Kennedy might never have guessed the impact his decision to open a concrete block plant would have on the future of his family. LM Kennedy Concrete Plant (Philadelphia, PA) THE INNOVATOR Having observed the early plastic and rubber molds that were becoming more common in manufacturing Lewis’ son, Alfred R. Kennedy, Sr., and grandson, Alfred R."Big Al” Kennedy, Jr., identified a trend in the concrete industry toward a more scientific approach in manufacturing. They began investigating the use of these new molds. As a result of their investigation, in 1988, they started manufacturing a line of innovative wetcast products outside of Ashland, PA. By Alfred R. Kennedy, Sr (1919-2005) 1990, Kennedy Concrete, Inc. had moved to its current location at 570 Dutchtown Road, Ashland, PA and began marketing custom and stock precast concrete products. THE ENGINEER With an earned degree in Engineering from Drexel, “Big Al” applied his knowledge of engineering to testing and manufacturing a stronger, more dense, weather resistant product. Some of today's product line has been independent lab tested and proven able to sustain between 8,000 to 10,000 psi. By the late 1990s, the company was growing rapidly, and "Big Al” was quietly engineering another product that would eventually become our bestseller. Alfred R. “Big Al” Kennedy, Jr (1940-) Then in 1998, tragedy suddenly struck. Our plant in Ashland, PA was destroyed by a fire that wiped out the company's manufacturing capacity. Some might have thought this would be the end of Kennedy. But our dealers were already selling, and contractors were installing so much Kennedy product successfully that they patiently stood beside while we rebuilt the plant. Upon completion of the new plant "Big" Al introduced that new product under the name Blue Mountain Stone. The Blue Mountain Stone Line was engineered by "Big" Al not only to look and feel like quarried Pennsylvania Blue Stone, but also to meet the rigid demands of landscape architects. Meeting rigid demands and providing customers quality concrete products is a Kennedy way of life. As we look forward to a NEW YEAR, we look forward to bringing you a NEW GENERATION of CONCRETE INNOVATIONS! 3 4 The Blue Mountain Stone Line Blue Mountain Stone captures the beauty of Pennsylvania Blue Stone. Its uniform thickness and standard sizes make it a fantastic substitute for natural stone and makes laying a random pattern easy. Its quality is unmatched in the precast industry.

Sandstone is too soft and vulnerable to the harsh freeze thaw cycle of Northeast winters. Before Kennedy “Custom” Products that Solve Special Problems The small pieces used to make this hot tub coping round were just not up to the harsh winter weather. Water collected in the gap between the tub and the block. When that water froze the blocks started popping up. After— Custom Slate Top, Rock Faced Step Treads in Charcoal. This dense weather resistant concrete is made to withstand 8-10,000 psi and is better suited to the harsh freeze and thaw cycle of the Northeast. After Cast in just four pieces for ease of installation and a lifetime of durability, this Custom Kennedy Coping has a majestic stone feel to its Slate top. It is further complemented by a bullnose on the inside edge and a rock face on the outside edge 15 Kennedy “Custom” Concrete Here at Kennedy, “Custom” might as well be our middle name!

Layout the dimensions on the diagram. This will help you determine the quantity of materials required for your job. Caution: Measurements listed for a product are often modular measurements. i.e. an 18” paver can actually measure anywhere from 17” to 18 1/2”. Check the actual size of the pavers you will be using. LAYOUT - Check area to make sure there are no underground pipes or cables that your stakes or digging might hit. Stake out your area 4” wider than the planned area. Use stakes and run strings to use as straight edges to lay your pavers along. Note: Make sure you allow for water drainage away from buildings. (a slope of 1 inch in 4 feet to, but not less than, 1 inch in 10 feet) EXCAVATE - Keep in mind that a paved area is no better than the base it is laid on. Spend the necessary time getting the base just right. This will make laying the pavers easier and the area will give you years of satisfactory service. The depth and composition of the base will depend on the use of the paved area. For all uses, remove all vegetation. For pedestrian traffic: If the ground is solid and has good drainage, depth required will be: Paving stone thickness + thin layer of sand . For heavier traffic: Depth will be: Paving stone thickness + 1” of sand + 2” of stone. Sand & stone are to be compacted. Auto traffic: Depth to be: Paving stone thickness + 1” of sand + 4” to 6” of stones The sand & stone must be mechanically compacted. (Compactors can be rented from a local tool rental store.) Note: You can increase the strength of your job, if you make the sand layer a damp cement mix (1 part cement to 5 parts sand). LAYING METHODS - There are three methods of laying paving stone: Laying on sand. Spread your layer of sand, level and compact. Then lay your pavers on this bed, if you need to level you can put in extra sand. Laying on a dry mortar mix. Mix a 1 part cement to 5 parts sand mix (add no water). Place a thin layer on your compacted bed. Rake the thin layer leaving small peaks and troughs. Place the pavers on this bed and tamp with a rubber mallet or regular hammer with a board. (Do not strike too hard so that you don’t break the paver. If the paver is not level remove or add material in the base. The tamping is only to ensure that the mortar mix touches the entire base of the paver.) 23 Guidelines for Installation 24 Five spot Mortar Bed - This method involves putting 5 generous spots of mortar on the compacted sand bed (One in each corner and one in the middle). The mortar is 1 part cement to 5 parts mortar sand and enough water to make the mix “workable”. The mortar should spread out with light tamping on the paver. (See note above.) pavers with diluted ammonia water or muriatic acid then rinse with plenty of water. Apply your sealer following the instruction on the label. (Please observe all safety instructions on the labels.) JOINTS: Paving is intended to be butt-jointed; however, if one desires jointed, it is done once the paving is set. In climates that do not have a lot of freeze-thaw cycles per winter season, a dry mix of 1 part cement to 3 parts dry sand is used to fill joints. This mix is placed on the dry pavers and swept into the joints. All of the mix is removed from the pavers and the area is very lightly sprinkled with water. The best method today is to use polymeric sand. It is expensive but holds up well to the movement caused by freeze-thaw cycles. WARNING: This information is provided as a guide and is not intended to be a thorough, detailed installation guide. There are books available at libraries, book stores, building supply stores/yards, and online that have complete guidelines with all the necessary instructions and safety information. 5 6 CUTTING: The best advice in this area is to try to lay out the paved area so that there is no cutting. If pavers must be cut, the best way is with a circular saw equipped with a diamond blade, available at most building supply outlets. Do not try to cut all the way through the paver. Score each side of paver (depth depends on paver thickness, but 1/4” to 1/2” is usually enough). Place the scored paver over a wooden block and tap with a hammer. 6 SEALING: It is not necessary to seal your pavers, but sealing does provide protection. A sealed paver usually looks better, has a better chance of weathering freeze-thaw cycles and holding up from acid rain and carbonization, and dirt is easier to remove. Some sealers make the paver more slippery or make it less slippery. (Finish Perfect Concrete Lawn Ornament Sealer, which can be used on pavers, is one that we use because it reduces the slipperiness of the pavers). Always test your sealer on a small area, so that if something goes wrong it will not have an effect the appearance of your pavement. (Some sealers will change the color of the pavers.) Clean the Always use common sense around your paving projects. Use all the necessary safety equipment to protect yourself and those around you. Watch children around your work area. Falling pavers, tools, and even your excavation can cause injury. After finishing your project, we want you to look back on it with pride and satisfaction. Please be careful. 25 OUR DEALERS ARE OUR MOST VALUABLE RESOURCE (Ashland, PA) While we are very proud of our tradition of innovation and excellence, we recognize that we couldn’t have made it this far without the help of a strong network of Landscape and Masonry Supply Dealers.
