driveway art® is an extension of #thesavageway’s commercial Clean Graffiti service. If you’re not familiar with Clean Graffiti, it is the process of putting a clean message on a dirty sidewalk. You can click here for examples.

For driveway art®, we decided to partner with a local architectural designer, Robin Tonelli, to bring new designs & creative options right to your driveway. Our artwork is an eco-friendly option (it’s just water – no harsh chemicals) and allows individuals and families to display their creative side.

driveway art® is perfect to:
- showcase your creative side
- elevate your curb appeal

Our experienced team of artists will create your intricate driveway art® using high-pressure water and naturally dirty concrete. If you can answer YES to the following questions, then you need to call us for driveway art®:
– Is your driveway concrete?
– Does your driveway / walkway have months or years of accumulated dirt?
– Do you want to express your artistic side in a fun way?
Each project is custom quoted and includes a Designer consultation, digital layout of artwork to scale and hand-done artwork application.

OrthoCarolina has been a partner of #thesavageway since 2012. We admire the way that this group of privately owned physicians interact and help the Charlotte, NC community grow. From supporting innovation initiatives like TEDxCharlotte and Seed 20 to helping young entrepreneurs, OrthoCarolina seems to be everywhere. One area that is particularly awesome is their involvement with youth sports.
Recently, we completed a Clean Graffiti campaign surrounding OrthoCarolina Soccer. Getting kids active and healthy has always been important to the OC community. Blair Primis, Vice President of Marketing at OrthoCarolina, said, “As part of an ongoing effort to support and promote youth sports in Charlotte, soccer seemed like a natural way to make that a reality. For boys and girls, men and women.”

We put down Clean Graffiti spots in five Charlotte neighborhoods. These spots are near six parks and two schools – but all near soccer fields where kids practice or play the game. The creative is a positive, motivating quote and a bouncing soccer ball (and we loved it!).

Our latest Clean Graffiti project took us down south to Columbia, South Carolina. We partnered with the Riverbanks Zoo & Garden for an in-house messaging solution.
Riverbanks Zoo & Garden is the first private zoo to utilize Clean Graffiti. #thesavageway
Clean Graffiti used at Riverbanks Zoo to promote the opening of Waterfall Junction. #thesavageway
Riverbanks Zoo and Garden is “home to more than 2,000 magnificent and fascinating animals and one of the nation’s most beautiful and inspiring botanical gardens. It is the mission of Riverbanks to foster appreciation and concern for all living things.”
In early summer 2016, their newest attraction, Waterfall Junction, opened to the public. This 3-acre interactive children’s garden “inspires exploration, imagination and nature play with tree houses, a dinosaur dig, streams, ponds and plenty of room to roam.” It is tucked away behind the beautiful Botanical Garden. In order to bring attention to zoo-goers that this family-friendly addition exists, the team at Riverbanks thought some innovative Clean Graffiti would be perfect to use.

“Clean Graffiti was an excellent fit with Riverbanks’ mission of conservation as a green and renewable way of advertising. It also allowed us to promote and advertise our newest attraction in the park without creating new signage. New signs not only aren’t recyclable but they also clutter the park and are often overlooked. Clean Graffiti afforded us the unique opportunity to take advantage of under utilized space and grab people’s attention with innovative advertising.. Right under their feet!” said Lochlan Wooten, Director of Marketing for Riverbanks Zoo & Garden.
#thesavageway traveled to Columbia, SC to execute the Clean Graffiti on the Riverbanks Zoo campus. Our land surveying usually doesn’t include lions and flamingos, so we were sure to take a moment and say hello to the animals.

We put down 12 Clean Graffiti spots around the zoo. The signs combined to say Waterfall Junction, Now Open, Explore.Imagine.Play, and we even added a fun water splash mark.
“Guests and staff alike have loved this installation; its innovative, fun and renewable- what could be better? It’s really been a lot of fun to watch people react to the different installations,” added Wooten.

The next time you’re enjoying some family time at the Riverbanks Zoo, make sure to head across the bridge to Waterfall Junction (there is no additional cost for this portion of the park). Pro tip: bring your swimsuit to splash around (it looks like so much fun).

#thesavageway is once again working with the North Carolina Department of Transportation on a statewide pedestrian and bicycle safety campaign using Clean Graffiti. The Watch For Me NC campaign launched in 2012 and “aims to reduce pedestrian and bicycle injuries and deaths through a comprehensive, targeted approach of public education and police enforcement.” This is a continuation of our Clean Graffiti work in 2015 and again uses messages that are all about watching where you cross and watching for cars.
Clean Graffiti campaign by #thesavageway for the NCDOT in Corolla, NC.
Our first leg of the Clean Graffiti Tour included stops in Corolla, Dare County, New Bern & Wilmington, NC. We targeted intersections that had frequent pedestrian or bicycle accidents. The hope is that the Clean Graffiti will bring awareness to the Watch For Me NC message. Part of the reason that these cities were chosen was due to the fact that there are not many outdoor signage options available to spread a message. Clean Graffiti is a great alternative to grab the attention of a walker/runner before an accident happens. The clean message on a dirty sidewalk sparks interest and can slow people down to make them aware of their surroundings (i.e. speeding cars).
