Technical Standards and Best Practices

The Concrete Masonry and Hardscapes Association establishes the technical standards for segmental retaining walls and interlocking pavement systems. Following CMHA guidelines ensures installations meet structural integrity requirements and deliver long-term performance.

Understanding these technical standards is crucial for delivering hardscaping solutions that stand the test of time. Proper installation techniques, appropriate material selection, and adherence to engineering specifications distinguish professional work from amateur efforts.

Our approach integrates these technical standards throughout every project phase. We recognize that quality hardscaping requires attention to details that many overlook—proper compaction, adequate drainage, appropriate base preparation, and precision installation.
