Pavement in construction is an outdoor floor or superficial surface covering.

Paving materials include asphalt, concrete, stone such as flagstone, cobblestone, and setts, artificial stone, bricks, tiles, and sometimes wood.

In landscape architecture pavements are part of the hardscape and are used on sidewalks, road surfaces, patios, courtyards, etc.

Concrete is a composite material composed of coarse aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement that hardens over time.

Most concretes used are lime-based concretes such as Portland cement concrete or concretes made with other hydraulic cements, such as ciment fondu.

However, asphalt concrete, which is frequently used for road surfaces, is also a type of concrete, where the cement material is bitumen, and polymer concretes are sometimes used where the cementing material is a polymer.

A brick is building material used to make walls, pavements and other elements in masonry construction.

Traditionally, the term brick referred to a unit composed of clay, but it is now used to denote any rectangular units laid in mortar.

A brick can be composed of clay-bearing soil, sand, and lime, or concrete materials.

Bricks are produced in numerous classes, types, materials, and sizes which vary with region and time period, and are produced in bulk quantities.

Two basic categories of bricks are fired and non-fired bricks.

Rock or stone is a natural substance, a solid aggregate of one or more minerals or mineraloids.

For example, granite, a common rock, is a combination of the minerals quartz, feldspar and biotite.

The Earth's outer solid layer, the lithosphere, is made of rock.

Retaining walls are structures designed to restrain soil to a slope that it would not naturally keep to (typically a steep, near-vertical or vertical slope).

They are used to bound soils between two different elevations often in areas of terrain possessing undesirable slopes or in areas where the landscape needs to be shaped severely and engineered for more specific purposes like hillside farming or roadway overpasses.
