or more than 56 years, Shaw & Sons
has been a leader in the production and
installation of architectural concrete.
Combining extensive knowledge of concrete
as a building material with artistic design, Shaw &
Sons created a unique architectural concrete product
called Lithocrete® which has been featured in numerous
public and private projects including many of Southern
California’s landmark buildings, institutions and public
places. These include the J. Paul Getty Villa Museum,
Griffith Observatory, a themed retail/entertainment
district in Anaheim, LA LIVE, Fox Studios, as well as
national museums, hospitals and local libraries.
Patent-protected Lithocrete® has been specified by
top-tier designers, architects, general contractors
and building owners in Southern California as their
architectural concrete of choice for the past 25 years.

Because of its popularity, Shaw & Sons is now making
Lithocrete® available to the design and construction
industries outside the Southern California area. Since
1993, Shaw & Sons has selected and licensed 20 wellrespected concrete construction companies throughout
the nation to install Lithocrete®.
As licensees, these companies have also been trained
to install Lithocrete® the “Lithocrete® Way,” which is
modeled after Shaw & Sons’ 56 years of experience
based on the installation of millions of square feet
of award-winning concrete product. It is important
to both Ron and Lee Shaw that each licensee be
capable of installing Lithocrete® to Shaw & Sons’
high standards of quality, design, and specifications.
To this end, each licensee spends numerous hours
of on-site training to learn how to properly install
Lithocrete®.
When you specify Lithocrete® for a project, you
are not only getting a unique architectural concrete
product, you are benefiting from Shaw & Sons’
proven methods and time-tested procedures which go
