Last month, we highlighted some of the industry’s newest products we didn’t see at trade shows this year. Here are more of the products you’ll see out in the field in 2021 that we found during virtual events.
Belgard Tandem Modular Block
The pitch: Belgard’s Tandem Modular Block is a flexible solution for a range of applications, such as retaining walls, curved walls and more.
Three different veneer facing styles lends itself to more design flexibility for design/build projects.
Connecting multiple blocks together is easy, and it reinforces to make a higher wall to prevent geogrid.

Turfgrass experts say most winter turfgrass diseases won’t be catastrophic this year – particularly the various type of snow mold that spring up when 2021 rolls around.

“By the time we get to January, there’s not a lot we’re doing to prevent those diseases, so now we’re at the point where we’re trying to recover as quickly as we can,” says Paul Koch, an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
