When done well, a plaza or terrace is an asset, providing an aesthetically satisfying outdoor space that expands a building’s impact. But when done poorly, a plaza can be an eyesore.

Broken pavers, pooling water, and uneven surfaces not only detract from building appearance. They can be dangerous. Investment in your plaza improves property value and protects against the loss that can result from unsafe conditions.

Replacing pavers year after year?
Maybe the pavers aren’t the problem.
