Project Ideas
Business
Mobile Post & Pier Footing Service
Offer fast, clean installation of fence, mailbox, sign, and pergola footings. The 2 in head and 7 ft shaft let you consolidate 8–18 in diameter holes and small forms quickly, reducing honeycombing and callbacks. Package includes excavation, forms/sonotubes, pour, vibration, and set/brace.
Precast Utility Products Microfactory
Produce parking curbs, small bollards, sign bases, and light-pole pads. Vibration delivers dense, durable units with crisp edges that outlast non-vibrated competitors. Sell direct to HOAs, schools, and small contractors; offer custom colors, embedded anchors, and stenciled logos.
Custom Decorative Precast Shop
Make planters, benches, table bases, and landscape edging. Market premium density and finish achieved via high-frequency consolidation. Upsell integral pigments, face mixes, and exposed-aggregate finishes. Deliver locally with installation as an add-on.
On-Call Vibrator Operator for Small Pours
Provide a same-day service to contractors and DIYers who lack consolidation equipment. Show up with the POWERSHIFT power unit, this head/shaft, and PPE, then properly vibrate their columns, grade beams, and stem walls. Charge by hour plus a minimum call-out fee.
Countertop & Stair Tread Precasting
Specialize in 2–3 in thick outdoor countertops and precast stair treads. Use careful, short plunge vibrations at form edges and thicker sections to avoid segregation while eliminating pinholes. Pair with face mixes and slurry fill for near-perfect finishes. Target outdoor kitchens, cafes, and patios.
Creative
River-Stone Garden Bench
Build a precast concrete bench with embedded smooth river stones on the seat. Use a sturdy plywood mold with 2–3 in thick sections. After placing the mix and stones, dip the 2 in head quickly around the perimeter and center to eliminate air pockets and lock stones in. Demold, lightly grind to expose a few stones, and seal for a polished outdoor piece.
Terrazzo-Look Patio Pavers
Cast 18 x 18 in patio pavers at 2–2.5 in thickness with colored glass or marble chips. Vibrate in short plunges to settle fines and bring paste around the chips for crisp edges. After curing, wet-polish to expose aggregates and seal. Make a set with different color themes for a mosaic path.
Sculpted Birdbath Pedestal
Create a two-part birdbath: a precast pedestal and a shallow bowl. Use the vibrator to consolidate the pedestal (3–5 in wall/section thickness) so it’s smooth and strong, and insert a conduit for a small recirculating pump if you want a bubbler. Texture the exterior with rubber rock liners or wood-grain form liners.
Modular Fire Pit Seating Blocks
Cast trapezoidal blocks that form a curved seating ring around a fire pit. Make durable molds from melamine and foam. Vibrate each pour to achieve sharp arrises and dense faces that resist spalling. Chamfer edges and include a recessed handhold for easier setup and reconfiguration.
Leaf-Imprinted Stepping Stones
Pour circular or square stepping stones at 2–3 in thickness. After vibrating to remove air, press large leaves (hosta, rhubarb, fern) into the surface for detailed veining. Peel off after initial set and stain the impressions for contrast. The vibration ensures crisp detail without bugholes.
