02 / PROJECT OPTIONS

The surface matters. So does what is underneath.

General planning guidance. Confirm product availability and suitability with the contractor before choosing a specification.

Common hardscape project options and questions to discuss
Option	Why consider it	What to discuss
Concrete pavers	A modular patio or path with a wide range of sizes and patterns.	Compare product samples, edging, joint material, base preparation, and replacement availability.
Natural stone	Variation in color and texture for a distinctive outdoor surface.	Discuss thickness, surface grip, layout, and installation method for the selected stone.
Permeable systems	A surface designed as part of a water management plan.	Suitability depends on soil, sub-base design, site drainage, and local requirements.
Segmental wall blocks	A retaining wall with coordinated units and caps.	Height, loads, drainage, and engineering requirements need a site-specific assessment.
