Inspiring Contractors to Build a Professional Hardscaping Business
HardScape Magazine was launched in 2003 by Charles Vander Kooi, arguably the most well-known business management consultant to hardscape contractors as well as landscape contractors. Charles recognized that the growing hardscape industry was largely under-served by the publications of the day.



Charles envisioned a new magazine to serve as resource providing a knowledge base for hardscape installation while also addressing the business needs of companies doing the installing, and HardScape Magazine was born. Our mission is to provide the technical and business knowledge contractors require to expand or startup a hardscape business. Our goal is to continually reach more contractors over time and grow the hardscaping industry. HardScape is devoted to helping contractors who create outdoor living spaces with outdoor kitchens, walls, pavers, stone, lighting, water features, fire features and related products. At the same time, we have a solid readership base of suppliers who want to stay dialed in to the needs of their contractor customers.
