Very interested. In CT area! A: The 'tile' is actually a pre-cast concrete paver from Step Stone incorporated (a Los Angeles based company) the color is 'Granada White \#1801' the pool tile was per the pool contractor so i'm unable to get the info. Hope that helps! **Q: Do the pebbles spilling out of the cracks?** *(in Photo Questions)* Is this a maintenance issue? I love the look.

Best, Joanna Privet Hedge **Q: What type of groundcover is planted between pavers on driveway?** *(in Photo Questions)* We have concrete pavers and are looking for a groundcover that will survive full sun and tolerates cars driving over them frequently. Thank you for any advice you can give me. A: Hi Mcato, thank you for taking the time to view our projects. We would recommend using either Stonecrop or artificial grass. **Q: Black Stainless Steel** *(in Polls)* Tired of fingerprints on your stainless steel appliances? Would you consider trying the new fingerprint and smudge resistant stainless steel with a darker hue? Let us know your thoughts on black stainless steel!
