eco-friendly hardscapes

Eco-friendly permeable patios and pathways designed with sustainable materials, including urbanite (recycled concrete), natural flagstone, and decomposed granite, for water-wise, low-impact landscape solutions.

Unlike concrete, decomposed granite allows water to soak into the ground, reduces runoff, blends seamlessly with gardens, and requires minimal maintenance—making it an eco-friendly, versatile alternative for paths & patios.
