Thanks to everyone who made it out to the Hardscape Roadshow this week!

We had a great time connecting with everyone across all four Watkins locations, introducing new product lines, tools, and equipment, and discussing proper installation methods for upcoming projects.

Here are just a few photos from the week. Thanks for being part of it!

Jobsite Drop-In with Evans Masonry LLC! 🧱

Had the chance to stop by and see this new entryway. Evans Masonry matched the brick to the home’s existing exterior, creating a seamless look that feels like it was always part of the house.

Adding on or looking to bring brick accents to your home? Watkins can help you find a brick that works with what’s already there. 💪

From classroom learning to a finished project worth showing off! 👏

The 29' × 25' paver patio outside Kiewit Hall is complete, with the iconic Nebraska “N” taking center stage!

Watkins worked with The Durham School at UNL on this workforce development project, giving more than 100 engineering students hands-on experience building something that will remain part of their campus. The patio replaces a grassy area that became muddy during student move-in and move-out.

A big thank you to Rochester Concrete Products and Belgard Outdoor Living for joining Watkins in donating materials, and to Hardscapes By Mitera Designs , Above and Beyond Complete Grounds Maintenance, INC , and RDM Landscapes for donating equipment and time.

Most of all, congratulations to the students who helped bring this project to life. That’s something to be proud of every time you walk past it! Go Big Red!

This or That? Classic vs. Modern💡

The details make a difference, even after the sun goes down. Path lighting helps illuminate walkways while adding another layer of style to your landscape.

A classic fixture brings familiar curves and a traditional touch, while a modern fixture offers clean lines and a simple profile. Both light the way, but each brings its own personality to the space.

Which fits your style? Tell us Classic or Modern in the comments!

A little Husker pride and a lot of hands-on learning! 🔴⚪

We’re proud to be part of this project supporting workforce development alongside UNL’s Durham School, contractors and suppliers. Together, we’re helping students bring classroom lessons to life outside Kiewit Hall.

Great to see these students and their hard work getting some well deserved recognition!

What was once a worn patch of grass is now a symbol of Husker pride, thanks to 130 UNL students who put classroom lessons to work. ⤵️ Find a link to the story in the comments.
