Testimonials
“I’ve used CORE landscape products in so many designs and I’m always happy. In fact, I even remember when I first discovered their stabilizer products, and I couldn’t believe I didn’t know about it sooner. Not only does it help the landscape last longer, it’s far easier to maintain because the groundcover stays where it is supposed to, and it’s way easier to walk or roll on. On top of this, the sales and support team at CORE is world class. This takes any landscape to the professional level.
CORE Landscape Products should be the bench mark for landscaping companies. Spirit Bear screen is beautiful. People stop their cars to have a look at it. Many, many compliments. Service from CORE is outstanding. Product arrived quickly. Packaging is the best I have ever seen. The mounting screen was very well made of high quality materials and assembled quickly. This is a remarkable installation and an extremely good value for money.
Made a huge project a lot easier!
We purchased several packs to put in 70+ ft of gravel pathway in our yard. It ended up being a huge lifesaver and made the process significantly easier. It took us much longer to install than was suggested, but that was due to our yard being sloped in two different directions. We’re impressed with how stable it is and we have a great looking gravel path.
A perfect solution for improved accessibility and permeability. We were going to use patio stone or asphalt, and this ended up being the most affordable and best looking option.
Awesome Privacy Screens!
Great panels and service was awesome, highly recommend CORE Landscape products for any type of privacy accents needed.
For the two projects that we just completed, we used CORE as a faster and less expensive alternative to concrete. One is a walking pathway, giving better access to one of tenants' front door (with accessibility in mind here). For the second project, we identified that we had two wheelchair users in two separate units that couldn't use their back exit. So we built a ramp and used CORE as a landing at the base of the ramp. This way they have a second fire escape and can use this space if they wish to. At some point we are going to make our community garden even easier for our chair users and seniors to move around.
Excellent product and timely shipping. Worth every penny.
We had a roughly 29x12 area under the deck that did nothing but collect junk. Estimates for concrete $6000. We went online and found Core landscape. Had a hard time believing that this would work. In five days, we now have a beautiful useable patio area and saved $3500. The CORE system was simple to install. We dug out the area, lined the perimeter with bullet pavers, leveled(relatively) 2 inches of sand, then the Core path and covered it with pea gravel. I did make the mistake of adding too much pea gravel, which I removed. I learned that it did not take a lot to fill the hexagons and just cover the cells for an extremely solid surface. I will definitely use CORE path again and again.
Loved the ease of order and fast shipping!
Shipped fast, arrived earlier than expected!
Great company, answered any questions I had, would 100% recommend!!!
Great product. I purchased a home that included a hot tub but the gravel base was poorly made and was settling / sinking on one side. I put down and tamped a proper base, installed the CORE Foundation Kit which was a breeze to put together, anchor down and infill with gravel. Trimmed it out with black granite stone and it looks great, solid and level. Counting on many years of use!
My 3rd time ordering to complete my dog's playground area. This product works perfect as a drainage underlayment. Even when not completing the job fully the first time, it's easy to come back and expand the area!
These bring a glow to the night. I have been giving them as gifts to students. Every single person is delighted.
We used CORE Path to replace old leaning concrete retaining walls, crumbling concrete steps & widen our driveway.
We designed the layout using your online sizes as a guide; The main path being your two-piece sideways. Then the branches off to the front porch & deck are the grid turned 90 degrees. We cut a piece for the corner & another for the driveway join.
Great product! Easy to used. Easy to cut. Surprisingly strong & once filled with pea gravel it is so solid to stand on. Guests can’t get over how it feels! Our front yard has been transformed & we are well on our way to replacing all our grass with an Irish Cottage Garden, right here in Kentucky!
We have had some days of very heavy rain & the path works so well in storing the water instead of seeing it flow down the street.

We finished our CORE Path install right before our first snowfall and I absolutely love how it turned out! I placed every piece myself and I was able to fill small gaps easily with cut pieces. I ended up with virtually zero waste. Thanks so much!
The install went well and we were all amazed with the end result. We have taken several large trucks including concrete trucks, picker truck through and not an issue. Plowed 8” of snow of it last week, so we could get in and resume building and no problems at all. Will be looking for more opportunities this coming season to use the product. It is amazing considering the mud we had on that section of road.
We are very happy with our screens, they are beautiful! We get many compliments and refer veryone who asks to CORE.
My husband built a beautiful privacy arbour for Bear and Eagle, and privacy stands (one moveable and one stationary) to house the two Orca screens for our hot tub area
We absolutely love them; they have added some much needed privacy to our yard.
Cheers and thank you!
I installed CORE Gravel 50-35 in my personal driveway, this will be accessed by cars and heavy loaded trucks.
My son and I completed the install on our own. Here are our comments:
- snapping the honeycomb product together, very simple to do by any handyman
- good engineering on Core Product
- gravel slides easily into honeycomb (we got a truck to drop it off and we used a garden hoe/rake to fill the grid)
- looks great
I love it (CORE Path)! It provides the perfect stable base for my husbands wheelchair while being completely permeable. Phase 2 will be adding some paths to this patio space from the top of our yard or course using your product again. It’s amazing.
We have just installed this product. We had a pea gravel pathway that was very squishy and irritating to walk on. We decided to try this on a gamble. We pulled back the gravel to the existing weed mat, laid this product, then raked the gravel on top. It is awesome! Very solid and very easy to walk on!!! We are very very pleased with the outcome.
I can’t stop taking pictures of the CORE Coast Salish Screens that we installed on our property. Six in all and all of them are stunning, especially with the wood stained a beautiful cedar red. With the first snowfall, they took on another intriguing look with the snow clinging to the screens in spots. The quality of the screens are exceptional and the look will only be enhanced in the spring when we plant shrubs, grasses and other plants around them. Their highly visible location on a high wall above the street, prompted our neighbours to quickly comment on how beautiful our “art” was and to inquire as to where we found them. We were happy to share with them a little about the artist and Core Landscape Products.Thanks for your great service and quick response to all our communications.
I was looking for a solution as a base for my hot tub as I didn't want to spend the time and effort on concrete. I decided to call CORE to inquired about the hot tub foundation kit. After speaking with them I ordered it directly over the phone and a week later it arrived. Before it arrived I created a simple 4x4 frame, dug an an area for the frame and levelled the ground with gravel. I then placed the CORE hot tub grid in the 4x4 built frame that I constructed. The CORE pieces fit together like a jig saw puzzle. I had to cut 3 end pieces to size to create a perfect fit within my 4x4 frame. I used my table saw to cut the pieces to size, it worked great. Once the CORE foundation was in place I back filled with gravel...voila....hot tub pad complete. We're super happy with the product. I especially like the weed preventitive fabric on the bottom of the grid. The CORE hot tub foundation looks clean and it's eco friendly too! Thanks for a great experience CORE!
CORE Boulders are an awesome addition to the line. Adds intensity to my garden display and looks great!
We installed our CORE Hot-tub packs this weekend. Amazing product by the way! I work for Oakville Hydro and plan on recommending the product to them. The area is clean, permeable, sturdy and looks great.
We completed several landscape projects during our time home from COVID. One very satisfying step was laying down the Core Path and pea gravel. My next door neighbors saw my fella and I stomping around and dancing in the first test area we did as a “proof of concept”. They came over and stomped around too. It’s become a thing. It’s funny. Folks kinda tentatively walk on it, then more vigorously, next thing you know they’re stompin’ around. It’s fun! No one can believe how stabilized the gravel is. One of my pics shows my gorilla wagon parked on the gravel. It was fully loaded when I pulled it onto the gravel. No evidence of a track in the gravel at all.
Final notes, Core Path handled the small slope we had to keep to line up with the sidewalks and driveway surrounding the area. It was super easy to cut by hand with heavy duty scissors and tin snips. Could custom fit it to the uneven concrete sections of the older driveway. Looked very nice when done.
Will be ordering more for future projecs!
My backyard faces West and there is no shade directly around my deck. I desired a pergola that could give me some coverage so I could enjoy sitting out back. More specifically, I was looking for something that was beautiful, unique and long-lasting while also meeting my need for shade and privacy. After doing some extensive research, I discovered these privacy fence panels from CORE Decor and thought they could be applied as the “rooftop” of the pergola versus traditional purlins and wood lattice. These wood-poly composite panels are durable and more appealing than any wood or plastic trellis. They are easy to paint, handle and install. They are stunning, make beautiful shadows on my deck, and are definitely a statement piece while fulfilling my requirements for shade and privacy. The added bonus has been the great service from Core Landscape Products. I would absolutely recommend this company and these panels to anyone. Worth every penny!
Last summer we completed extensive material tests with 15 different products to determine the best products given light levels on site.
Core's commercial grade is the most vibrant and fully met our expectations. We will be incorporating several thoughts pounds of commercial grade soon. We are excited to see what their Quantum is all about too!
Love This Product! We first purchased this product 3 years ago and we absolutely love it! We Used it to do a path around our deck and a small patio area. It works well for a natural look which is what we were going for. It was easy to install for us DIYers and looks as great now as it did on day one. So now that we're landscaping another area of our yard, there was no question that we would be using this again!
The project for my client turned out great, we all love it.
One part of the area is a grass driving area. CORE Grass Foundation is what we used. We used brick edging to keep everything locked together. We placed Bluegrass sod and rolled it in the system, it worked great. That drive is driven on daily by the BMW SUV. The brick is very useful as a visual guide to keep on the drive when backing up.
One part of the area is gravel, roadbed gravel and topped off with riverjack. Then rolled. It doesn't move around at all, very stable.
Project went great for self install! I’m very impressed with the product as well as the retailer/installer of the hot tub. Will definitely reach out for more products in the future.
Great quality and exactly as pictured (Face of the Moon Privacy/Art Screen), I would happily recommend this product to anyone looking to add some interest to your outside space
We surrounded our pool with gravel so we wanted something to spice it up and ordered this aggregate. It glows really well. We got 4 lbs and it covered approx 250sf. Pretty cool stuff. Looks and feels like real aggregate.
This is a great product. My father-in-law saw it used in a commercial space and was impressed. After checking it out, I ordered it and used it for a 45' side walkway for our house. It is great. It is easy to trim, settles well with gravel over the top, and works as advertised. I would recommend it.
Our business was at risk due to not meeting ADA compliance regulatons with our local town. Without CORE Gravel Foundations we would not have made it through ADA requirements for zoning to make our art center a reality. Thank you so much!!!
I purchased the Face Of The Moon for my garden fence and it's beautiful. It watches over my veggie garden day and night with its glowing eyes and everybody who's seen it has had nothing but compliments for it. Thank you!
I purchased a small bag and plan to purchase more in the future. I purchased this for my garden and I am in love with them. These stones look exactly as they are pictured. Beautiful stones without the glow but the glow makes them special. Love this product and have already shown others with the reading material given to me. Love it!
I ordered the sample pack of CORE Quantum Glow just to test out the durability and longevity of these stones for myself in a real world setting. I used them in my flower bed and WOW! My flowers haven't even bloomed yet and the front of my home is still a showcase. Finally a product that does what it claims!
The sample grid made it and we built a quick test site just to make sure it would work for our elderly population and it does. We will be moving forward with our order of 7400 sq.ft. later this week.
Super bright and the brightness lasts. I used the stones in a planter on my patio. Very cool and delighted my guests.
They arrived quickly, too!
Our core gravel driveway has been in place for 4 years now and is on a very steep slope (roughly 18 degrees). This is a re-do of an existing driveway and prior to installing the core gravel grids we did have significant erosion problems. Our gravel stays in place now and I can drive my one ton pickup truck (7800 lbs unloaded) with no slippage.
We ordered your hot tub foundation kit for our backyard patio. The foundation was easy to install and works great! We are now looking to order some of our beautiful privacy screens, this will allow us to build a wall that looks nice and creates privacy at the same time.
I wanted to send you some progress and tell you that we LOVE this stuff!! It’s exactly what I wanted but didn’t know existed until I found you guys. Thanks again for the exceptional customer service so far.
Shelter Island Historical Society Installed Spring 2019 "Product is amazing!". It was everything you promised it would be, super fast and so easy. We had to access underneath a section about a week after install was complete. Just went over, un-clipped the section, did the work and put it right back in you could NEVER be able to tell. Highly recommend this product. Will be ordering again.
Our CORE Gravel pathway project is coming along nicely. We plan to extend the path into the back yard and create the patio back there.
The CORE path has been super easy to install and work with. This area has a pretty steep slope and the CORE path is performing very well on this terrain.
The installation went smoothly and quickly. We completed the grid install for an 1800 sq ft courtyard (entire surface) and 70 feet of the steep driveway (2 ~40" tracks with occasional bridge) in a day. There was no movement with a 65 excavator with rubber tracks on it (no track rotation in place). We are very happy with the system and will be looking to add more.
We just purchased our home and were having issues with our driveway drainage, as it has such a steep slope. Your product is amazing, and now the area drains properly and looks great! Thanks for all your help - we had exactly the right amount of tiles for the job!
We used CORE Path to create two 16’ x 19’ patios connected by a 6’ wide walkway in front of our 3-season room. Other than the initial grading and dumping/rolling the clear stone chips, it was really a one-man DIY job. I added a little more stone to use all of the material that I bought from you and wheelbarrowed/spread/tamped all of the pea gravel myself. I put aluminum edging around the entire patio.
This is a unique and really beautiful product (Spirit Bear Lookout Privacy/Art Screen). I’m very happy with this purchase to incorporate into a privacy screen. I will definitely order another one for a different project in another part of my yard.
Really love this product! We struggled with our parking area for years – gravel washing away in heavy rain, muddy spots, and weeds growing up through the gravel. Putting down the 60-40 CORE Gravel product was a great decision. We no longer lose gravel in heavy rain. In fact, we're facing our second winter with this surface and have not had to add any gravel, even after repeated snow plowing. The surface always looks great and, with a little raking, makes an attractive social space. We followed CORE's surface prep instructions and have had no performance or aesthetic issues.
Everything went well with our CORE Path Project.. The product worked exactly how you said it would, it went down easily and stabilzied the gravel nicely.
I will definitely be offering this as an option to my clients in the future.
We installed your CORE Path 38-18 system ths year for our clients.
The clients are absolutely pleased with my suggestion to go with a simple permeable solution. Your product covers all their outdoor needs for there new patio space I've created for them. It created a stabilized and beautiful area. They plan to do many more projects around the home with your products.
Thank you again for your help and support!
Caroline: I wanted to let you know how pleased we are with our Core Driveway installation. We are constantly moving our trailers on and off the parking deck. The Core Driveway is stable, secure and is coping well with the uneven surfaces. Thanks again.
We love the outcome of our new Barking Lot! We did the Core path under the seating area too, then put our floor matting product over the top.
All we have left to do is install the Splash Pad and the deck seating around the blue shed. Then kick back and let our pups have fun!
Love your product!
I used the CORE product to install a 1250’ driveway. Their support and advice were very helpful as we worked on the design of my project. The installation was simple and straightforward , even the radius went without issue. I used a redimix truck to deliver the stone - the core product handled the weight of the mixer with no issue. After six months the product has continued to perform as promised -drains well and requires very little stone raking.
I am thoroughly amazed with the Core Glow Sample Packet and its illumination features! I am most enjoying how to best display the wonderful stones throughout my home with the best illumination at night. I have chosen to display the medium and large stones around my fireplace mantel and the smaller stones inside my bathrooms inside small decorative vases ~ so pretty to have during the overnight hours! I would highly recommend this Core Glow product and sample packet to everyone who values illumination and beautiful light throughout their home, especially at night.
I'm currently fighting with the City of Austin on how these are great alternatives to using concrete everywhere. These samples will definitely help show them how they let so much water through. Great ecological option to concrete! So excited!
Great product and very helpful customer service. I needed to contact the company concerning the size of the grids and they provided very useful information
We installed your gravel and grass panels last year. We drive our RV in and out all year, including winter to ski. The lawn holds up perfectly, with no a hint of rutting on the grass or gravel portions.
Amazing product and super friendly company. These grids made my walkway and patio dreams come true! I love that it's a very stable surface that's permeable and environmentally sound. No puddles form when it rains, which is amazing. I couldn't be happier!
We were so happy to install this on our own and save money. The most work was the base-prep, the system install and gravel infill was very easy. It went much faster to lay down than expected and only took a day and half to lay down our 1800 sq.ft. of grilds and fill with gravel.
Also, the core gravel has been so effective and stable that the dog is suprised when someone is at the door (there is no gravel noise).
I wanted to let you guys know that your level of customer service is something not typically encountered these days. It’s refreshing! And, even for a small order such as mine.
Our grass project went very well and our crew liked working with the product. I was surprised with how quickly they were able to lay the material.
Love this product!! I was able to do a 12’x26’ diy patio in Georgia for $2000 less than what it would have cost for a boring slab. Best of all it only took a weekend and now I have a space with character that’s great for entertaining!
These beautiful panels are just stunning (Transformation of the Frog Privacy/Art Screen) ! They arrived promptly and extremely well packed. We purchased two of them to create a little privacy on our deck. Panel construction and material....superb !!
We LOVE our CORE grass driveway and our CORE gravel driveway! We used to have little traction on the gravel driveway and now it’s smooth sailing getting up the slope!
I am sure we will cross paths again and in the meantime, I can’t rave enough about the driveways to my friends!
The installation of Core-Gravel 38-18 was a success and the sloped landscape/xeriscape area looks amazing! We installed in our clients front yard, the area is for curb appeal (no foot or vehicle traffic). The slope was over 20 degrees and the grids worked perfectly to stablize and support the gravel. We cut pieces of the grid out, to add cactus and other no maintenance plantings. The area is now beautiful and requires no watering and maintenance.
I’m so impressed with how easy the product is to install. It was Super Easy, Super Fast! I didn’t even need a skill saw, just scissors! I will send photos of the project once the rest of the landscaping is complete.
I wanted to add garden gravel paths that were stable underfoot and this product is perfect. I am a retired woman in her late 60's and I did 350 sq. ft. on my own and my garden is stunning. Worth the price so I wouldn't be digging. Core Path is perfect when I had to work around so many large shallow tree roots. All the neighbors ask about the product.
We received the package and installed the Core Gravel panels. We are extremely satisfied with the product and the ease of installation.
Ours is a retrofit situation. We already had pea gravel installed in the paths of our garden, but found like many others, that it is awkward to walk on loose pea gravel and we were looking for a solution. In the installation, where possible, we cleared the pea gravel down to the original base to give the panels a flat as possible installation., but there were many spots that the pea gravel was 2-3 inches deep and in this case we levelled the gravel to a depth of 1" and laid the panels on the P-Gravel, this worked as well!
I have completed installation of the Core gravel stabilizers. It is amazing how stable and secure the area is. It will work great with our ShelterLogic canopy planned to store a treasured sports car.
I am glad I was able to discover the product as it meets my requirements very well. Trust the pictures will demonstrate another valid use for the eco friendly products.
Bonjours Caroline!
This is Massimo Gallizzi from Chambly Québec. We did my drive-way in July and I forgot to send you a feedback with some pictures.
It took 2 days to do the project and on the 3rd day it didn’t look like a construction site or that work had took place.
We're very happy with the result and we got multiple compliments.
Ciao and thank you again!
The Core gravel panels (for our driveway) were very easy for us to install. We used coloured gravel, and in the 6 months that we have been parking and walking on it daily there has been no movement or stone loss at all! We are very happy with it. We are waiting for the spring to be able to install the Core grass panels. I tell everyone who asks about our driveway about Core Driveway and send them to your website.
Building an English glorified Crofter’s Cottage we knew we wanted the look of a gravel drive but we were concerned about the challenges one brings and your product eliminates them all!
The CORE Grass system has worked great for our small project. The space between our pie lot driveway and our neighbours was causing the grass to be driven over essentially turning it to mud. Since installing the core system the grass between the two driveways has been able grow and keep its integrity even if a vehicle drives over it. I'm very pleased with the result.
Thank you for your assistance.

Attached are a couple of photos of our privacy screen incorporating your panels. It is part of a newly “renovated” area of our front yard, freed up by the removal of an large old spruce tree.
We’ve had a lot of positive comments about the panels – they’re really something, and fit in quite well with our collection of west coast art indoors and several other themed pieces in our back yard.
The CORE Gravel has been installed and we are pleased with the product and the way it solved a major problem here on the dunes of Cape Cod Bay. Sandwich, like most towns will no longer approve asphalt or concrete driveways. The Conservation Commission would only approve crushed sea shells and on a steep dune, that would have caused a major problem.
We used the core system for a gravel patio and pathway area. It was easy to work with and gave a fantastic result. So much so I decided to use it for a second area. The staff are also extremely helpful and friendly. It was a pleasure to do business with them. Highly recommended!
Terrific product. The pieces by Noel Brown add an element to the back yard design that truly takes it from the inside out, outside in lifestyle. Jackie is wonderful, can't say enough about CORE Landscape products and great customer service!
The CORE Gravel Foundations surface works great for us and was easy to install. I decided to do the install myself, as no contractor was available in our area (typical for our area). My novice install of the CORE gravel system went very well. Our driveway has a slope in the area between the driveway and rock wall. The trimming of the grid was easily done with a jigsaw. The gravel is great to walk on and softens the look of the concrete driveway. This system now allows us to walk safely up and down the driveway when it gets icy or snowy.
We recently installed your 50-30 foundation around our garden beds. I love them and my wife does too. They stabilized our garden paths perfectly, and we will be buying some additional pieces for our other landscape areas.
We just received our 3 Modinex Panama Privacy Screens. They were really well packaged, look awesome, and we love the colour. The on-line pictures don’t do them justice.
Thank you for the great customer service. We love your product (Commercial Grade Glow Marble), they are installed in a parking area off our driveway. Here are a few pics of our current project, the area is looking great! We will be placing another order this evening!
Thanks so much for your recent help with my order, I am really impressed with the way you and your company helped getting everything taken care of.
We are very happy with the way it turned out
Our new CORE Gravel path is a perfect solution for a sloped walkway. Footing is now more secure, the path looks great - and it's a permeable surface, a very important factor for us. The Rocket-edging provides an attractive, functional finish. The CORE Gravel staff we dealt with were all very knowledgeable about the product, its applications and installation.
Bought two of these panels (1x6 Narrow Sea Privacy/Art Screen) and love them so much went back and bought a third privacy panel great for the backyard. I bought artificial Palms and put them on the front of the privacy panels and they look fantastic
We are so happy with the look and design of our storage area, using your gravel grids. We needed a firm base outside for storage, that we could drive a forklift on. The foundations are barely noticeable once filled, which was the look we were going for. It’s working very well and we plan to expand the area next Spring.
We completed our core gravel path as well as the patio block path. We can now move our golf cart across the beach and do not have to worry as much about erosion. What used to be very soft sand, is now very firm.
The screens accomplished exactly what we wanted in terms if creating privacy. Construction started next door and we lost a lot of privacy, so we applied the screens to an existing fence. We lot the final outcome.
Absolutely love this (Face of the Moon Privacy/Art Screen). Sturdy. Lays flat against the wall without a frame. The brown color is very nice. It would look nice on a lighter background. Would order again and in different designs.
I found your web page about 2 months ago and came up from Mill Bay and two panels (My Salmon, Bear & Eagle, and Spirit Bear Lookout). The project turned out great! We will be back to buy 7 more screens in November. They are perfect for adding art and privacy!
I love our new privacy screen! It was Easy to install and looks great. I put it up on my back porch to be used as a privacy screen towards the neighbour’s yard and it does just that.
We did use your product for the first stage and we were beyond impressed! It went together so easily and has created such a sturdy base for our patio. Such a beautiful, affordable option. We will complete our next stages in Spring 2021.
Wow! I got my screens today and I was elated. Not only are they beautiful I was so impressed with the craftsmanship and the extra measures you took in packaging. I have always been amazed at the packaging engineering that companies have employed. I looked forward to installing my screens and sharing with you the pictures. Thanks for taking care of me.
Steve O.
It's almost completed. Still some decor, plants, and an outdoor shower to install but it's looking great and your products are fantastic to work with. We love the glow products on it!
