Frank Bourque   Learn the latest hardscape techniques at Congress 
I am so excited to return to LO Congress in January, to share innovative hardscaping techniques, products and installation methods. We have a fantastic program this year, covering everything from VR designs, retaining walls, water features, outdoor kitchens, sound, lighting and more. I hope you'll bring your team out to the demos to enhance their knowledge and to pick up ideas for your next hardscaping season. Hardscape LIVE runs twice each day of the show on Jan. 7-9 at the Toronto Congress Centre. LO Members can get free passes to the show and special conference pricing. Can't wait to see you there!​
