The Tri-County Landscape Design Competition

Contestant Information

The Art of Landscape Competition is coming for the first time to The 2025 Tri-County Home & Garden Show! This competition was featured in eleven previous Fresno Home & Garden Shows and was one of the driving forces that helped build the businesses of participating landscapers. We are excited to bring the magic for both the landscapers and the homeowners to the Sacramento market. Not only are you competing for cash prizes but you’re also gaining potential business that results from consumers seeing your landscape, as well as the relationships you can build with other industry leaders.
