The newest hardscaping materials and equipment for landscapers

By Jennifer M. Holloway

Collection features economical style

Belgard Hardscapes’ Lafitt patio slab collection of concrete interlocking pavers gives the look of natural stone with a slate-like texture. Pavers have a thinner profile than the Mega Lafitt paver line to allow for greater overlay opportunities and more economical usage. They are available in several colors and laying patterns.

Decorative borders

The Lil’ Bubba landscape curb machine is designed to install attractive concrete borders around flowerbeds, driveways, walkways and other features. Self-propelled with a four-horsepower Honda engine, the machine forms borders up to 8 inches by 12 inches and can also produce 24-inch concrete garden pathways. Accessories are available to make borders look like stone, brick or wood.

Enjoy wood-fired pizza

The Mezzo pizza oven from Stone Age Manufacturing provides 810 square inches of cooking area, an arched-roof design and enough thermal mass for optimum cooking performance. Constructed of reinforced refractory concrete, the Mezzo is easy to assemble and complements the company’s cabinet component system kitchen islands.

Light up curbing

Tygar Manufacturing offers a system for installing accent lighting directly into landscape curbing. Using Tygar’s special molds and lighting apparatus, professionals can install lighting to project over landscapes without using exposed lines or additional fixtures.

Stabilize, seal

Dimex and TechniSoil North America introduce NanoPave joint stabilizer and sealer for sealing sanded joints of interlocking concrete pavers and larger joints — up to 3 inches — for natural, flagstone applications. Nano-polymer technology inhibits weed growth and ants, resists water degradation and freeze-thaw damage and withstands temperature extremes.
