Answer to Question 1

The landscape contractor commonly uses asphalt, concrete, brick, and stone. The main
advantage of asphalt and concrete is the relatively low installation cost, and the main
disadvantage is that these materials do not create interesting or unusual landscape
designs. The main advantage of brick and stone is that they can be used to create
interesting landscape designs, and the main disadvantage is that these materials are
more expensive.

Answer to Question 2

Two days prior to staking the site, the crew supervisor should call the local office to
find out where all the underground utilities are located at the site.
