#IAmaHardscaper Mashup: Tools and Equipment
On today’s episode we mashup previous I am a hardscaper interviews talking about equipment. Now some of these answers discuss installation practices or equipment purchases in the future, depending on how I phrased the question to the interviewee, but ultimately this is an equipment discussion episode about what these hardscapers love to have in their business. Sponsors: I want to take a break from today’s episode to thank our sponsor Alliance Gator. They are the makers behind Gator Xtreme Edge, a concrete edge restraint product for hardscape installations. In our business, we have almost exclusively moved to a concrete edge restraint in our installs. Now the only time we use a plastic edge restraint is in a Gator Base installation where it is fastened directly to the Gator Base. Gator Xtreme Edge is fiber-reinforce and polymer modified providing continuous lateral support. This provides more flexibility and better strength than just a regular concrete mixture for an edge restraint. We find it great to use in our open graded base installs or natural stone installs where the product is only 1” thick. It can also be installed in traditional, overlay, and Gator Base applications. You can find out more about this product at alliancegator.com found in the show notes of this episode. Connect with your local rep for installation assistance.
