My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Inset pavers in artificial turf

9 years ago
I'm seeing pics of inset pavers - does this work in a Canadian winter? Can you shovel? Or are these in locations that don't get much traffic once snow falls?

    We would recommend that you use a plastic shovel lightly. We would not recommend that you use a a metal edged shovel and attempt to scrape the stones with any force.
