This blog addresses many of the questions, issues and design options for paver and wall installations.
When making an investment in your exterior landscaping, all factors need to be taken into account. Your walkways, driveways, and patios all provide a sense of style and value to your property, and need to be considered when upgrading. With so many options for your patios and walkways, we want to "pave the way" and explain some key differences between the most popular solutions: Pavers and Stamped Concrete. As two attractive and affordable outdoor options, we’ll discover how they stack up against each other in terms of aesthetic appeal, safety, upkeep, and cost. We'll let you decide which is better for your patio, pool patio or walkway.

Built-in Grill | Outdoor Kitchen | Pavers
Ahhh, food. This is one of my favorite topics. I love to eat... really, just about anything. But, I also enjoy the time of preparing the scrumptious food item(s). Although I love my indoor kitchen, there really isn't anything better than grilling that favorite steak or kabob with a few friends on a beautiful summer evening.

Outdoor Living | Patio | Pavers | Sitting Wall

Outdoor Living | Water Feature | Winterize Water Feature
Shorter days and chilly nights point to that time of year... winter. Although winter has a few low points, it also affords many bonuses. Things such as good books in front of crackling fires, family game nights, hot cocoa, snowflakes lazily falling through the air, and of course my personal favorite... Christmas! Before any of this can happen though, we have to prepare our homes for the freezing temps. Of the different things that we need to winterize, our garden fountains are one of the most crucial. If you fail to winterize your water feature, water could freeze inside the pump. The result is that it will crack and damage the vital parts that make the machine operate correctly. If you damage the pump, it may have to be replaced. Fountains that have concrete or cast stone parts are also at a higher risk of cracking.

Outdoor Living | Water Feature | Winterize Water Feature
Here we are again. It's that time of the year where we are preparing the yard for Old Man Winter to make his seasonal debut. For some of us, he already made his presence very well known... Yah, don't remind me. Of the different things that we need to winterize, pondless water features are one of the most crucial. If you fail to winterize your water feature, water could freeze inside the pump. The result is that it will crack and damage the vital parts that make the machine operate correctly. If you damage the pump, it may have to be replaced.

If you have concrete pavers or are thinking about having some installed, you might be asking, "What do I need to do to them to get ready for winter?" Although concrete pavers are designed to hold up well through winter weather and the impact of frost, snow and ice, there are a few things you might consider taking before winter arrives.
