On the cover:
Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, was the site of an extensive renovation that relied on Techo-Bloc pavers and masonry products for the several patios, paths, steps, columns, fire and water features.

Features

Pervious Pool Surround
Slip-resistant, impact-absorbing and a resolution to standing water, a pervious pour-in-place surface makes a fine pool deck and helps a homeowner comply with local regulations.
"?uDavid Aquilina, Strategic Storyteller

Installing Rain Cells Around Trees
Using structural support modules known as soil cells beneath hardscaped areas have been shown to provide a more suitable rooting environment for urban tree plantings.
"?uShane Carpani, GreenBlue Infrasturcture Solutions

Pave that Drive
Of all the many types of driveway surfaces, pavers combine good looks with reliability, strength, and even permeability if wanted.
"?u Mike Dahl, LC/DBM

Expansive Excellence
The spacious landscape of a private estate in Quebec provided Terassement Euro Landscaping a fitting stage on which to perform their artistry.
"?u Jonathan Hendy, Techo-Bloc

An Outdoor Room with a View
A backyard in San Marcos, Calif., was elevated thanks to AAA Landscape Specialists, who created an outdoor living space with paved patio, outdoor kitchen area, and raised fire pit/lounging area with an ocean view.
"?u Alli Martin, LC/DBM
