π‘ What Is Hardscaping?

Common hardscape materials include:

– πͺ¨ Natural stone

– πͺ¨ Gravel and decomposed granite
When installed correctly, hardscaping can improve:

According to the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute, properly installed paver systems offer flexibility and durability that perform well in climates with soil movement and temperature swings. (https://icpi.org)
