Poured concrete (Zone 0 hardscape)

This is a material class, not a wall or roof assembly listing.

Poured concrete slabs and walks are noncombustible hardscape in the first five feet. Landscaping guidance on this site names concrete alongside gravel, pavers, and stone. It is a material class, not an OSFM-listed assembly.
