The landscaping team will focus on all aspects off landscape design, including trees and shrubbery, walkways, water, gardens, lawns, and more.

Judging by past years’ winners, there are some real doozies out there in serious need of a makeover. This year, the makeover will be worth up to $25,000, so the potential for a massive renovation is high.
