When you want the very best

With his loyal crew, Quentin Branch has been building rammed earth projects for 33 years – from patio walls to highway sound-barrier retaining walls, and from guest homes to a 38,000-square-foot television studio named one of the 18 top architectural achievements in Arizona.

Branch has built throughout Arizona, with occasional out-of-state forays. His work has been featured in innumerable magazines, including in March 2009, on the cover and 10 inside pages of Metropolitan Homes magazine, lauding the first rammed earth home in Aspen, Colorado.

Branch consults with architects and engineers world-wide on design and construction specifications. He sometimes holds workshops for students and do-it-yourselfers.

2001 — 4,000 tons of earth were rammed into a 38,000-square-foot TV studio. Above the 20’ wide, 16’ tall window, a steel I-beam and concrete bond beam are hidden in a four-foot-tall lintel of rammed earth.
