#IAmaHardscaper Mashup: Horror Stories

How to Hardscape

On today’s episode we mashup previous #IAmaHardscaper interviews answering this question: what is a horror story that you have experienced in your business? The reason why I ask this question is to help those starting their businesses or even already rolling along to prepare them for what may happen and help them put safeguards into their own business to perhaps prevent this same thing from happening to them.

I want to take a break from today’s episode to thank our sponsor Alliance Designer Products. They are the makers behind Gator Base, a synthetic base option that reduces excavation for patios and walkways. This product is time-proven with millions of square feet installed holding up to freeze-thaw cycles for years with no failures. Let’s walk through some of the benefits of this material. It insulates, reducing freeze-thaw cycles; spreads load over a greater area; is extremely durable and light-weight; saves on labor; shines in tight access situations; allows for proper drainage; you can walk on it once installed and stage pavers closer to the area where they will be laid; and pavers can be slid into place. We use Gator Base as often as we can and whenever applicable. You can find out more about this product at alliancegator.com.
