Easycare Landscapes, one of Canberra's largest locally owned design and construction companies, has won the NSW / ACT Family Business of the Year Award as a first generation family business.
Easycare Landscapes has been building elegant, easy-to-maintain landscapes in Canberra homes for more than 9 years.
As a business employing 16 staff, Easycare Landscapes has grown rapidly, even through the tough times as people require a personal space that enhances and protects the environment.
Vicki Berry, Australian Horticulturist of the Year and owner of Easycare Landscapes said, "This award is a great confidence boost to our business. It shows that here is a professional and successful business which gives clients good reason to have confidence in the outcomes that we can produce. It recognises the hard work we have put into ensuring that all parts of our business work together when designing and constructing landscapes. There is a creative and a pragmatic side of our business. Our offering is from concept and design right through to completion and maintenance. We have focused on producing unique outdoor living spaces whilst aiming to give our clients the best and most reliable service in the industry. Our extensive client feedback tells us this story too."
As a state winner, Easycare Landscapes has now been nominated in the National Family Business Awards to be held in Cairns in August this year.
