Past HNA Hardscape Project Award winner Parker Condit, Marketing Director of JB's Landscaping LLC told us that “we have received unbelievable feedback after the HNA Hardscape Project Award was presented to us. It was such an honor to be recognized for everything we put into that project and we are still seeing the residual effects, months later. It's nice that we don't have to verbally prove our level of quality or creativity with prospective customers. The award and recognition is like a stamp of approval. All in all, winning the HNA Hardscape Project Award has been a great experience. We can't wait for the next big project!"
