Landscape Ontario members and projects recognized as the best in the province
Winners of Landscape Ontario’s Awards of Excellence program were announced during a sold-out evening event at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Toronto Airport on Jan. 6, 2026.
Exclusive to members of Landscape Ontario Horticultural Trades Association, the annual program celebrates the creativity, innovation and excellence within the landscape construction,
maintenance, design, lighting and irrigation sectors, as well as the longstanding efforts of individuals who work selflessly to advance the profession.
All entries were reviewed by a panel of judges. Projects scoring between 80-89 per cent were given an Award of Merit, and those scoring 90-100 earned an Award of Excellence.
