Transform Your Outdoor Space with Unilock Eco-Hex™ Pavers
Why Hardscaping Matters
When it comes to creating the perfect backyard, hardscaping is just as important as landscaping. While plants and flowers bring color and life, hardscaping elements like patios, walkways, and driveways provide structure, functionality, and a polished look. The right hardscape product can elevate your outdoor space, making it not just beautiful but also durable and practical.

Installation Guide

- Prepare the Base: Excavate to a depth of 8-10 inches and lay down a stabilization grid (DriveGrid™ recommended) for added stability.

- Add the Bedding Layer: Apply 1 inch of coarse sand or ¼” open-graded chip stone for a permeable base.
- Place the Pavers: Arrange the hexagonal pavers in your desired pattern.
- Edge Restraint: Secure the perimeter with plastic, metal, or concrete edging.
