    Help with pavers. Send pics!

    PB recommends techo-bloc...leaning towards Aberdeen (azure) field with Antika inlay (Sandlewood) and Piedimonte coping. That is what we sort of like. Anyone here with these? Or can you suggest (with pics) something else?

    New construction Long Island...Pavers on concrete NOW no wait for settle?

    Any thoughts on wall height. I upgraded to the 48" wall for our in-ground pool. We r a tall family and wading around 3.5ft-4ft at shallow end seemed useless.
