In an exciting development for the hardscaping industry, Granum has officially announced its role as the primary software partner for Techo-Bloc during the much-anticipated 2026 Hardscaper Showcase Tour. This strategic partnership was revealed at the Hardscape North America (HNA) 2025 and Equip Expo in Louisville, the largest annual gathering for landscape and hardscape professionals in North America.
The 2026 Hardscaper Showcase Tour is set to traverse 23 cities across the continent, bringing together thousands of contractors for hands-on demonstrations, educational sessions focused on design-building, and opportunities for networking among peers. Throughout the tour, Granum's powerful platforms — LMN (Landscape Management Network) and Greenius — will be prominently featured, directly benefitting hardscape professionals with cutting-edge business management and workforce training tools.
At the core of this collaboration lies Techo-Bloc's innovative Business Builders Session, a 90-minute program aimed at helping business owners at each showcase stop.

Simultaneously, Greenius offers on-demand training and certification for crews, ensuring consistent quality and safety at job sites. This partnership provides actionable systems essential for the growth of sustainable businesses in the hardscaping realm.
