On today’s episode we mashup previous #IAmaHardscaper interviews with hardscape business owners answering what they do when a potential client first contacts them. Whether through email, phone call, or a form on their website, where does this lead to coming to the initial consultation. Sponsor: 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.

On today’s episode we mashup previous #IAmaHardscaper interviews with hardscape business owners answering our closing question on each interview: What is one thing you know now that you wish you knew from the beginning. Sponsors: I want to take a break from today’s episode to thank our sponsor Alliance Gator. They are the makers behind Gator Nitro Joint Sand, a permeable jointing compound for hardscape installations. It consists of calibrated sand and resins that is installed wet and air-cures becoming a solidified paver joint. It can be installed when it is dry or wet out, making it the perfect product to install early or late into the season. No more worrying about the chance of rain and you can finalize that project moving onto the next one faster. We find it is perfect for open graded bases, raised patios, and pool patios, along with many other applications as long as proper drainage is considered.

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.

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. Sponsors: 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.

On today’s episode we mashup previous #IAmaHardscaper interviews answering this question: do you charge for consultations, why or why not? This is one that I felt was important to understand everyones thought process behind whether they do or do not charge for consultations and to also learn some interesting ways in which some charge but use that money for charitable donations or elsewhere in their business. It is also interesting to hear some of these business owner’s responses and how they may have changed in their businesses since then.
