IDEALCONCRETEBLOCK.COM Alex Stewart of Ideal Concrete Block Co. in Westford and Waltham, MA Q: What current trends the industry? are you seeing within A: Over the past few years, our industry has witnessed tremendous growth in outdoor living as homeowners looked to return to their own backyard as a place of safe-haven and enjoyment. The array of styles, colors and textures in today's hardscape materials provided the means to create personalized spaces where families could relax and enjoy their personalized outdoor setting with families and friends. We see this trend continuing today as families want to spend more time in the comfort of their home - indoors and out! A simple fire pit, modest patio or a styled outdoor living space complete with a built-in grill, fireplace and pizza oven are now considered valued amenities to make their property a well-rounded home.
