2026 Awards of Excellence winners

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 awards 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.

A number of changes were made to this year’s program in order to raise the bar for winning an award in order to better reflect the increased professionalism and quality of the work submitted each year. Projects scoring between 80-89% were given an Award of Merit, with those scoring 90-100% being given an Award of Excellence.
