Hardscape Design
Patios-Walkways-Driveways-Walls-Steps

Whether considering hardscape design for patios, walkways or driveways, there are various types of paving materials to choose from.
Yet within each of these paving categories there are more choices. Paving colors, sizes, shapes, hardscape installation methods and so on all become part of the decision.

Here you will find links (in progress) to landscaping pictures and videos of patios, walks and driveways in various paving materials, along with my thoughts and comments on many of them.

As you can see, the materials for patios and walkways are the same, but for driveway design ideas, there are some less expensive alternatives.
