One Spot Remains to Compete in Hardscape North America Installer Competition
LOUISVILLE, KY – The HNA National Installer Championship is set for October 23 and 24, 2025 during Hardscape North America (HNA), which will take place in Louisville, KY. A total of 12 teams will compete to be crowned champion and lift the prestigious Taylor Cup – the ultimate symbol of excellence in the hardscape industry. One competition spot remains available, as well as sponsorship opportunities for companies eager to support top talent and showcase their brand in front of thousands of hardscape professionals.
The Installer Championship is where the industry’s best crews prove their skill under pressure. Teams of three have 60 minutes to transform raw materials into intricate paver designs. Every move is judged for precision, creativity, safety and adherence to industry best practices. With cash and equipment prizes totaling nearly $18,000, the top four teams will take home amazing prize packages.
This year’s lineup includes defending champions Pavers by Porter from Reno, NV, as well as the top two teams from the National Collegiate Landscape Competition. The competition begins with preliminary rounds on Thursday, October 23rd, and the top four teams will advance to the finals on Friday, October 24th, where one crew will be crowned the 2025 HNA Installer Champion and have their name added to the distinguished list of contractors engraved on the Taylor Cup.
“This event is an exciting way to showcase the craftsmanship, speed and strategy of the hardscape industry,” said Robert Bowers, vice president of engineering, hardscapes for the Concrete Masonry & Hardscapes Association, which produces HNA. “It’s a must-see competition for attendees and a unique opportunity for sponsors to be part of the action.”
All HNA attendees have access to the Hardscape House where the competition will take place. Spectators gather to cheer on their favorite teams, witness dramatic transformations and take home fresh inspiration for their own projects.
