In this live-recorded episode of the Hardscape Growth Podcast, Alex from Techo-Bloc is joined by returning guest Tigran from Applewood Landscapes and designer Taylor Young to explore the real impact of design on growing a hardscape business.

The business case for charging design fees—and how to position them
Tips for navigating budget conversations early and effectively
The competitive advantage of keeping design and build under one roof
