Q: Are split-level and a split-floor plan the same thing?

• <div><p>A split-level home is one that has several staggered floors connected by short staircases, while a split floor plan separates the primary bedroom from the rest of the bedrooms. Split floor plans are most often found in single-story homes, while split-level homes are always at least two stories.</p></div>

Q: Is precast concrete reinforced?

• <div><p>Precast concrete can be reinforced with rebar, wire mesh, or other materials to improve its strength and add stability.

"WCC did a fantastic job, from assessing our landscape curbing needs, to giving us a fair quote, they provided a flawless installation -- they were also always prompt and finished the job on time as promised! We couldn't be more happy with every part of the experience! It was truly a pleasure to have such professionalism and treatment, especially in a world that seems to lack this kind of customer-oriented care all too often. We HIGHLY recommend West Coast Curbing!!!"
