“We challenged contractors throughout North America to showcase the work they are most proud of to give the industry an idea of the depth of talent we have in all of our markets,” said Matt Lynch, ICPI board chair. “All entries were judged on intent, design, quality of construction and craftsmanship, compatibility with related construction materials and systems, construction innovation, detailing and overall design excellence. The winning projects showcase the industries’ best-of-the-best in hardscape design and construction.”

Three winners were located in Wisconsin, and two winners were located in California, Connecticut, Illinois and North Carolina each. The greater Philadelphia-New Jersey area also had two winners.
