Presenting the 2021 Hardscape North America Awards
CHANTILLY, VA – Contractors, producers, and designers claimed top honors at the 2021 Hardscape North America Awards Recognition Presentation on October 21 at the Kentucky Exposition Center. Each year, the HNA Awards recognize exceptional residential and commercial hardscape projects including walkways patios, pool decks, outdoor living kitchens and spaces, and driveways as well as commercial plazas and streets. Hardscape crews received recognition from industry experts for excellence in project design, quality, compatibility, and construction.
The number of entries received from across North America continues to grow. In 2021, a record 178 projects were submitted across 18 hardscape categories, including concrete paver, clay brick, segmental retaining walls, porcelain, natural stone, vintage installation, outdoor living features, and a combination of hardscape products.
“The HNA Awards is a well-earned tribute to work that is elevating the hardscape industry in many ways. Being recognized are projects that are the result of exceptional teams delivering creative solutions, quality products and reliable installations.” – Dr. Marshall Brown, ICPI Chair.
The HNA Awards are produced by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) and endorsed by the Brick Industry Association (BIA) and National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA). The 2021 awards program was sponsored by Belgard, FX Luminaire, iQ Power Tools, Keystone Hardscapes, and LATUX.
HNA Awards organizers and judges are pleased to recognize the 2021 awards recipients. Project images are available at: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmX1gLHi
