On Friday, December 2, we held our annual Year-End Holiday Party & Awards Banquet at Candlewood Valley Country Club in New Milford. We enjoyed cocktails, appetizers, a delicious dinner and a very spirited Yankee Swap while spending a great night together.
Below are the award winners for YardScapes 2022 season! Voting was extremely close, and we thank those of you that took a moment to cast a vote for your favorite ‘Scaper.
Judging criteria is based on a points system and includes, but is not limited to, client and staff votes, quality of work, teamwork, client compliments, attendance, and overall work ethic.
Congratulations to all the winners! ~Shayne
