Most contractors can do both. https://www.123articleonline.com/articles/1190232/decorative-hardscape-and-pools-a-vanity-project-with-an-eye-on-safety The added expense of the surface material used around a pool should be regarded as a barrier to problems - not the least of which are slip-and-fall accidents. https://www.123articleonline.com/articles/1195817/decrease-liability-on-your-residential-property Tripping and falling on public, commercial or private property is all the same: injuries can happen and they can be a costly liability for the owner. https://www.123articleonline.com/articles/1174384/designing-parking-lots-its-all-about-safety Parking lots are rife with danger, as both drivers and pedestrians irresponsibly multitask when they should be paying attention to each other. https://www.123articleonline.com/articles/1200876/how-asphalt-pavement-contractors-are-keeping-asphalt-cool The urgent need to reduce urban heat is fortunately driving innovation and experimentation.
