This seminar bridges the knowledge gap for natural stone. The course is designed for any landscape professional interested in deepening his or her knowledge of natural stone and how it fits into a finished landscape. The course is not merely about product awareness; it will delve deeper into how to achieve the best results when using the material in both base preparation and flatwork construction. The program was developed by hardscape contractors and suppliers to equip attendees with the knowledge necessary for dealing with this beautiful but challenging material.
