# Methodist Hospital Healing Garden

This project showcases the next step in decorative concrete. The exposed aggregate is actually thousands of tiny glass pieces that are broadcast and finished into the surface of integrally colored concrete called Lithocrete. In the past, keeping small ASR (Alkali Silica Reaction) or “reactive” aggregates (GLASS) embedded in the surface of concrete paving was difficult. However, Lithocrete®'s patented innovative paving process permanently bonds “reactive” as well as “non-reactive” aggregates.

**Location:**  
 St. Louis Park, Minnesota **Contractor:**  
 Hicks Concrete
