For the purposes of this study, hardscape products include landscaping products made from concrete (e.g., pavers, poured, blocks); wood; stone and boulders (e.g., manufactured, granite, sandstone); clay brick; aggregates (e.g., sand, gravel); and other materials.

Consumables, equipment, and furniture are excluded from the scope of this study, as are any related service revenues.

The hardscaping used to produce site-built outdoor kitchens is included, but the similar materials that are incorporated at the manufacturers’ level into prefabricated versions are not.

While outdoor structures that are prefabricated or built on site from a kit are included in this study, those that are built on site using customer-selected lumber or other materials (e.g., not part of a factory-compiled kit) are not included.
