20 | J U N E 2 0 2 5 Landscape Products Innovation is also taking place among outdoor furniture providers. Landscape Forms is a company that provides many products designed to art- fully connect people to outdoor spaces as well as one another, and an example of something special is Scenic, the next-generation adaptive structure system with a versatile, modern style, and endless flexibility to transform outdoor spaces into beautiful, functional destinations. Modular, scalable, and with a wide range of configurable options, Scenic simplifies the creation of tailored settings that enhance everyday life outdoors, whether it's a hospitality setting, a rooftop amenity, or a high-traffic public outdoor area. The structures scale up or down to address any project's design goals and site- specific considerations. Freestanding or façade-mounted, Scenic can range from a simple, single pergola to an expansive multi-unit structure, fully customized with infill panels, lighting, and accessories. Scenic also extends the outdoor seasons with motorized roof louvers, rain and wind sensors, and integrated water management that work together to combat the elements. If innovation is highly sought in terms of landscape development, so too is quality and resiliency – and these are the hallmarks of companies such as Barkman Concrete, which makes pavers, slabs, walls, outdoor fireplaces, and even pizza ovens. The manufacture of these and many other products is gov- erned by a comprehensive testing program (in-house and third party), which enables Barkman to ensure they meet the applicable industry standards (the program includes freeze-thaw testing and solar reflectance index testing). Further, Barkman's research and development team is committed to ensuring that all products have been developed and engineered to provide the ultimate in durability, even in the harshest of climatic conditions. Additionally, Barkman's dry-cast manufacturing plant in Steinbach, Manitoba, is considered to be one of the most advanced precast concrete production facilities for pavers, slabs, and retaining wall blocks in the world.
