Frequently Asked Questions: FAQs

1. What is the best material for a long-lasting patio or walkway?
   The best material depends on your needs and budget. Pavers, travertine, flagstone, concrete, and stone are all excellent options. Pavers offer durability and easy repairs, while natural stone provides a premium aesthetic. 
2. How often should asphalt pavement be maintained?
   Asphalt pavement should be inspected yearly and resealed every 2-3 years to prevent cracking and extend its lifespan. Regular maintenance, such as crack filling and seal coating, helps prevent costly repairs. 
3. What are the benefits of retaining walls in landscaping?
   Retaining walls help prevent soil erosion, improve drainage, and create usable outdoor space on sloped properties. They also add aesthetic value and can be customized with different materials like stone, brick, or concrete. 
4. How do I prepare for a pool installation?
