Paver Deck for Your Pool

July 17, 2024
The Summer heat has arrived and it’s time for Northern Virginia residents to install a new pool? Top off the project by purchasing high-quality, custom pavers for your pool deck furnished by Rock Stone and Sand Yard, RSSY.
 
While a pool is arguably the best gathering place for friends and family conveniently located right outside your back door, let’s not skimp on the area that surrounds it.
 
Paver pool decks turn your pool into a space of luxury. For your paver pool deck, choose between a wide variety of size, color, and style pavers. Reflect your home’s existing style, or take this opportunity to get creative to make it pop. Regardless, your paver pool deck can be fully customized with our hardscape sales persons.
 
Call RSSY’s sales persons today (703) 339-8095 for pricing and help designing your pool paver deck. Please visit our web page for additional details.
 

Belgard (©2024) Concrete Permeable Pavers for Driveways, Patios & Walkways

June 26, 2024
Northern VA residents install permeable pavers, also known as permeable interlocking concrete pavements (PICP), to direct storm water to underground aquifers. Permeable pavers mimic the way natural land absorbs water. They come in a wide variety of materials which are cut into square or rectangular shapes.
 
With permeable concrete pavers and permeable grass pavers, any rain that falls on your patio, walkway or driveway seeps back into the ground, reducing the burden on storm drains. A permeable paver system can even be designed to harvest and recycle rainwater. With uncompromised durability, permeable pavers are great for areas with high foot or vehicle traffic such as residential driveways and patios.
 
While your residential project may function well with conventional paving, you’ll find that permeable concrete offers many benefits for smaller home spaces. Call us (703) 339-8095 for pricing or more details and visit our website for additional images and product details.

Supplying Stone Products for Your Hardscaping and Water Feature Projects This Season

May 12, 2023
The serenity of flowing water in your backyard gives a sense of privacy by masking noises and allowing you to listen to the tranquil sounds of water flowing over a waterfall. Our customers come to RSSY, Rock Stone and Sand Yard, for many hardscaping ideas and especially water feature ideas.
 
Our customers seeing the changing world and economic tides have been trading vacations for “staycations” and are looking for ways to build on their biggest investment… their home. Building a water feature is the perfect way for homeowners to create a relaxing space, while adding value to a home.
Water features come in all shapes and sizes, allowing you to express your personal design style. Options include ponds, pondless waterfalls, fountains, container water gardens, and any combination in between. No matter what size space you have, there is sure to be an option that will fit your hardscape budget.
 
Water is the base of life, so humans and animals are naturally drawn toward water. Wild birds, dragonflies, turtles, butterflies, and frogs will enjoy your new outdoor addition. When designing your pond, think about ways to include food and shelter options for these critters. This will provide them with a habitat in your backyard that will both entertain and build into the overall ecosystem.
 
Call us today (703) 339-8095 or stop by the Yard to speak with one of our representatives concerning water features.
