## A Quarter Century of Collaboration

Pioneers in the landscape edging industry, [Oly-Ola Edgings](https://www.olyola.com/) boasts a long-lasting and steadfast partnership with CADdetails, signing on as one their first clients in 1997. For nearly three decades, Oly-Ola has benefited from having a partner who’s grown alongside them, offering technical expertise and support that has brought their edging solutions to design professionals across North America. Aymie Clayton, Sales Manager at Oly-Ola, highlights that “CADdetails remains our top choice for reaching landscape architects.” 

![plastic-lawn-edging-6-inch-superedg](https://services.caddetails.com/hs-fs/hubfs/plastic-lawn-edging-6-inch-superedg.png?width=400&height=300&name=plastic-lawn-edging-6-inch-superedg.png "plastic-lawn-edging-6-inch-superedg")

Founded in 1978, Oly-Ola is family-owned, women-led business committed to producing a diverse range of 100% recycled landscape and paver edgings. They’ve evolved over the years to meet the ever-changing needs of the lawn and garden industry and have continually demonstrated an unwavering dedication to creating enhanced, beautifully defined outdoor spaces. They offer 12 distinctive edging styles sold exclusively through landscape distribution centers, landscape architects, and independent nursery/garden centers.  

For 25+ years, Oly-Ola has witnessed CADdetails discover new ways to stay at the forefront of the design industry and grow its reputation as a trusted source of building product information among an expanding network of AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) professionals. With CADdetails’ ongoing commitment to delivering new and innovative products and services to manufacturers, like the [Design Hub](https://services.caddetails.com/caddetails-design-hub-for-manufacturers) and [Technical Member Program](https://services.caddetails.com/technical-services-programs), Oly-Ola foresees their partnership with CADdetails continuing for many more years to come. 

## Harnessing the Power of Design Hub

Dedicated to offering a wide selection of environmentally sustainable and cost-effective edging solutions, Oly-Ola relies on CADdetails’ Design Hub to maximize their product exposure and visibility.

*“Design Hub has been a game-changer for us. Specifiers can quickly browse a library of all our products, complete with their technical files and links to past projects where they were used. That makes it easier for them to find the perfect edging solution and offers inspiration for future projects.”*

## Leveraging CADdetails’ Team of Technical Experts

When Oly-Ola approached CADdetails at the [ASLA (American Society of Landscape Architects)](https://www.asla.org/) trade show in 1997, they discovered a practical and budget-friendly solution for their design content creation and management needs. They’ve trusted Steve Trotter, Director of Technical Operations at CADdetails, and his team of locally based North American experts ever since to produce the CAD drawings for their edging products, saving their own in-house team over 120 hours every year. In 2023, Steve’s team also developed the 3D models for Oly-Ola's innovative [Shallow Bric-Edg](https://www.caddetails.com/main/company/viewproduct?productID=8585&companyID=7&viewSource=Company%20Content&isFeatured=False&currentTab=Product), [Shallow Bric-Edg II](https://www.caddetails.com/main/company/viewproduct?productID=8584&companyID=7&viewSource=Company%20Content&isFeatured=False&currentTab=Product), and [Bric-Edg II](https://www.caddetails.com/main/company/viewproduct?productID=8583&companyID=7&viewSource=Company%20Content&isFeatured=False&currentTab=Product) products.
