SPECIAL PROGRAMMING Live Patio Build on
Expo Floor! Wednesday, February 4 & Thursday, February 5
Watch or join in as landscape construction students from the Thompson School at the University of New Hampshire build a raised permeable paver patio over the course of two days – right on the expo floor. The intricate patio construction project will feature low voltage lighting, pillar kits and sitting walls, as well as granite hand chiseling and cutting. The instal - lation will also include a paver and SRW cleaning & sealing demonstration.
Instructor Bill Gardocki will highlight aspects of the build as it relates to installing hardscape projects per ICPI and NCMA industry accepted specifications in 60-minute presentations throughout the day. This exciting, live hardscape demonstration is sponsored by Techo-Bloc, Alliance Gator, Hulton Tool Company, Pave Tool, and Stateline Irrigation Supply.
