LET’S BUILD YOUR BUSINESS
November 2019
At our core, we’re contractors. Countless members of our team are former hardscape installers. Our president’s first job was working for his father’s landscaping company. We love this business like no other and are passionate about making it better every day.
Our products are designed with you in mind – exceptional quality, incredible looks and super easy to use. We innovate each year to bring better materials to help grow your business and win more jobs. You deserve to stand out as a truly creative industry professional.
For over 30 years, we’ve grown by leaps and bounds thanks to your support. Techo-Pro is our way of investing back in the contracting community by supporting your business’ growth in ways other than just our products.
