In many ways, Tennessee feels like it is the heart of the South.
Located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains and home to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville is a small city with a lot of attitude. It’s city life with a diverse community of families, young professionals and students. Yet it keeps that small-town feel, where neighbors know your name.
Art lovers can flock to the Knoxville Museum of Art, a very interesting curation of the art and artists of East Tennessee. The museum’s main exhibit “Higher Ground: A Century of the Visual Arts in East Tennessee” celebrates artisans who lived out the majority of their lifetimes in the local area.
Go for a walk in the city’s World’s Fair Park, home to the World’s Fair in 1982. Once in the park, make sure to visit the Sunsphere. The Sunsphere is a 266-foot-tall unobstructed view of the gorgeous Smoky Mountains, downtown Knoxville and the glorious Tennessee River. If you’re into photography or polaroids, the Sunsphere will not disappoint with the views.
Head a wee bit north of the Sunsphere and you’ve arrived at the Tennessean. The Tennessean is a boutique hotel in the heart of Knoxville with 82 luxury guest rooms. This boogey hotel is within walking distance of the Market Square, the heartbeat of Knoxville downtown life and boasts over 440 5-star reviews on trip advisor. The Market Square is a community staple and draws large crowds due to it’s energetic vibe and numerous restaurant and shopping opportunities.
If you have children the Muse Knoxville is a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math focused kids museum with a really neat planetarium. Enjoy the day learning about everything from gardening to the circulatory system and never worry about the family getting bored! Animal lovers will flip over the zoo in Knoxville. The Zoo Knoxville has over a 100 red pandas, more than any other zoo in the whole world. After visiting the pandas, feed the giraffes or go view any of the other 700 plus animals in the establishment.
To cap off an adventurous day and get your caffeine fix, make sure to stop by the Honeybee Coffee Company. The Honeybee has four locations, and the company likes to highlight their sustainably sourced beans harvested from smaller farms around the world roasted right at home in Knoxville. Don’t sleep on The Honeybee’s Brown Sugar Latte or the eclectic, but seasonal, Spicey Mocha! Permeable Pavers can’t resist a good latte either!
Very little maintenance. Perhaps once every five to ten years (depending on rainfall in your area) replace the fine gravel that rests in the cracks between each paver. This will keep the paver system in top notch condition and will continue to allow it to transfer water through the system rapidly.
Anywhere! We have customers who request permeable paver surfaces for driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, patios, decks, porches, garden paths, etc.
Permeable pavers have the added feature of diverting water through the paved surface and into the ground beneath, just as nature intended. No more costly purchases directed towards addressing water runoff on your property, no more rain gardens, water retention ponds, or hazardous water pooling and flooding. When rain strikes a permeable paver surface, the water goes through it. It does not run off of it
Not at all. Permeable pavers are made in an interlocking manner. Much like a spider’s web, there is an intertwinement factor in a permeable paving system, with each paver being interconnected to the ones next to it. This allows for a degree of flex within the system, preventing cracking, crumbling, and other damage even under very heavy loads.
Essentially forever. A permeable paver system is extremely durable. When a permeable paver patio, driveway, parking lot, outdoor dining area, or walking path is installed with skill, expert design, and when quality materials are used, a permeable paver system will likely outlast its owner.
