In the Gold Lot of MASONRY MADNESS, NCMA highlighted the beauty and versatility of concrete masonry products, including segmental retaining walls, unit concrete pavers and manufactured stone veneer in an "outdoor courtyard." In the outdoor exhibit, NCMA staff was available to educate contractors about proper installation strategies using manufactured concrete masonry and hardscape products.
