Part 4 of 5 – The Finishing Touches

As highlighted in Part 3, this stage of the Hudson River project focused on the finer details that define the OCC standard. Among them was the careful completion of a grand granite staircase leading gracefully to the water’s edge—a centerpiece that blends function with beauty and will no doubt become a favorite summer gathering spot.

This phase also included chinking the revetment stonework, conducting final inspections, site cleanup, and moving the heavy equipment off-site. With the work nearing completion, there’s a moment to reflect on what it all represents.

In the “Lucky Enough” video interview featured on this site, you can see the story unfold—the harmony between craftsmanship, nature, and motion. From the majestic Hudson Highlands to the flowing river, from bald eagles to passing trains and boats, this project captures a living connection between people and place.

An emotional landmark has been built here. It’s called home. And with OCC’s eco-friendly stone revetment, it will remain safe, beautiful, and enduring for years to come.
