HARDSCAPING

Hardscape refers to the inanimate (non-living) areas of the landscape; or areas where the upper soil profile does not meet the Earth's surface.

Hardscaping has exploded over the past decade.  Replacing older
decks or cracked  concrete with brick pavers allows homeowners to make an artful statement that reflects their home's style.  As outdoor living spaces become increasingly popular,  the options and styles of hardscaping products continue to grow as well.   We take great pride in superior craftsmanship and attention to detail on our  hardscape installations.  We are proud to constantly educate ourselves as the  standards of the industry are ever changing.  Our hardscaping services include:

Blog:  Efflorescence

Picture
During or after a brick paver installation we often get asked "What is that white haze?" It is called efflorescence, and the term refers to the whitish residue on the surface of some pavers.  It comes from lime within the concrete brick, and will usually disappear over time with weathering.  The concerns for efflorescence are only aesthetic, as it does not impact the structural stability of the pavers.  Efflorescence can be removed with cleaners, however use caution when working with them, as many are weak acid products.
