Each January we gather at the Minneapolis Convention Center for the Northern Green Expo.  It’s a great convention that brings the Midwest Green Industry together with a huge trade show, educational classes, and renowned speakers.

This year was a big year for Yardscapes, Clayton Johnson’s, project not only won an award for his outstanding design, but he won “Judges Choice”.  It’s a huge accomplishment!

The project that Clayton submitted this year was a remodel in Bloomington, MN.  The landscaping had become tired and non-existant.  The front entry was uninviting and non-directive.  Now it’s a bomb of color during all seasons!

Some highlights of the project:

• New bluestone/paver walkway to accentuate the entrance
• Mortared brick wall to support the soil for a new staircase from the sidewalk
• Variety of new plantings to add color throughout the seasons
• Concrete driveway with paver apron
• Accent lighting
