Concrete StainInterior and exterior decorative concrete is simply amazing stuff. You can use it in kitchen and bath countertops, sinks, basement floors, walkways, ponds, swimming pools, patios, just everywhere.
All your landscaping and garden decorating efforts will be complemented with concrete. For example: glow in the dark concrete uses phosphorous to give it its illumination and gorgeous curb appeal. |

Patios Backyard IdeasPatio furniture is only as good as the patio it sits on. When considering the design of your patio, take into consideration the existing features of the surrounding areas and any future wish list improvements such as gazebos or pergolas. With a little design forethought, your paver, stone or concrete landscape projects will stay beautiful throughout the year.

Patio StonesStone is one of the original building materials. It is timeless and durable. Current building trends use natural stone: in every room of the home and in every corner of the yard. From small pink granite accent pieces to bluestone landscape boulders, you don't get cleaner or greener then this.
Local quarries are regularly making treads for steps, patio stone, decorative boulders, retaining wall stone, and much more. Stone art is a wonderful way to enhance yards, gardens and driveways in a long lasting way. |

Gravel LandscapingBeautiful projects often start with gravel landscaping. Gravel can be used for large and small landscaping projects. It lends itself well to driveways, walkways, and foundation skirts, as well as decorative borders for trees, shrubs, and fencing.

Retaining Walls
Outdoor living often includes sculpting your landscaping to make the most of frequently used areas. Retaining walls are a wonderful element to add to your landscape design.
Retaining wall blocks come in a wide variety of colors and textures to blend in with your current landscaping, or, add some ‘pop’ to your home’s curb appeal.
These projects are often simple, always long lasting, and certainly add to your home’s value.

National Association of Realtors: "5 Tips for the Ultimate Backyard"
1. Add an Outdoor Kitchen. Outdoor kitchens have been growing in popularity for years and are often the center of family life in the summer. They can be as extensive as a complete kitchen made of stone, brick, or concrete pavers with a stove, stone or brick oven, counters, and even a sink or refrigerator, or they can be as compact as a patio with a grill and table. There are a wide variety of options for every space, purpose, and price range.
2. Add Outdoor Lighting. Outdoor lighting highlights a home’s landscape, special trees, as well as walkways and porches, providing both curb appeal and safety. “Nightscaping” makes gathering spaces usable and enjoyable for entertaining after dark. Landscape professionals can design lighting to complement or highlight important areas of the yard, or there are a variety of basic do-it-yourself options, such as adding a set of solar walkway lights.
3. Add a Fire Feature. A portable fire pit or chiminea, or building a stone fireplace into the deck or patio extends the time people can spend in their backyards, making a cozy entertaining space on summer nights or well into the fall and winter.
4. Add a Water Feature. Water features, ranging from small fountains to ponds, streams, or water walls, create a sense of peace and calm, helping people connect with nature, and may attract wildlife.
5. Create a Wildflower or Herb Garden. Wildflowers or herbs make great container gardens or ground cover. They are beautiful and smell great. Many home chefs grow their own herbs and many landscape companies now create edible gardens for clients. These gardens are also a benefit for the environment and for wildlife, providing food and safe cover for small animals.
