The company also has acquired Harmony Outdoor Products Inc., expanding the Belgard Hardscapes collection to include a full suite of pre-built modular hardscape elements for every outdoor living setting.

Expocrete manufactures a diverse range of concrete hardscape, masonry and precast products that meet high standards in quality, safety and sustainability.

Headquartered in Edmonton, Expocrete will continue to be led by President David Johnson.

Oldcastle has a comprehensive network of Belgard Authorized Dealers and Belgard Authorized Contractors throughout North America, ensuring homeowners’ access to a wide range of Belgard pavers, wall block and modular features.
