Hardscape North America
Hardscape North America (HNA) is the premier trade show and education event for hardscape and landscape professionals. Held each October in Louisville, Kentucky, it brings together contractors, designers, dealers and suppliers for three days of hands-on learning, product discovery and industry connection.
Co-located with Equip Exposition, the combined events feature more than 1,000 exhibits, a 42,000-sq.-ft. Hardscape House and a 30+ acre outdoor demo yard – delivering one of the industry’s most expansive showcases of tools, materials and equipment, all accessible with one badge.
The HNA Installer Championship is a popular feature. Held in the Hardscape House during the show, the competition brings top crews together for a fast-paced, hands-on challenge. The top four teams take home cash and equipment prizes.
Backed by a legacy of growth and excellence, HNA also celebrates the industry’s finest through its Annual HNA Awards – honoring outstanding projects in residential and commercial hardscaping.
