Landscape

Winner

Jeremy zvitt

Jeremy creatively and resourcefully transformed a dreary and noisy backyard into an oasis featuring a waterfall and stream bed that courses around the yard. He recycled 120 feet of concrete from his sidewalk to create the rock outcropping and raised pond bed. A sculptor by trade, Jeremy used sanded cement to cover the concrete and hand-sculpted each rock. As a result, rather than highway noise, Jeremy and his family enjoy the sounds of running water and the song birds that the landscape attracts.

Honorable Mention

Anastasia and Frank glapa

Ten years before removing grass and planting native species was popular, the Glapa’s embarked on an ambitious project for their corner bungalow. The Glapa’s created a wonderful native woodland garden using their own compost and perennial seedlings as well as incorporating local materials such as granite street pavers and a recycled oil pipe fence.
