Abstract
The present invention is directed to a hardscape surface sheet and a method of representing a hardscape surface. The hardscape surface sheet comprises a substrate or sheet bearing an image of a hardscape surface. The substrate allows an individual to temporarily display the image in the area where the hardscape surface is desired and evaluate the appearance of the hardscape surface in itself, and in relation to its surroundings.
