Announcing the 2022 Landscaper of the Year

02 August 2022

Denzell Patelesio wins Natural Habitats 2022 Landscaper of the Year Award, thanks to Advance Landscapes.  


Our Landscaper of the Year awards came to a close on Saturday night with a grand celebration dinner for entrants and their partners. Over 140 nominations were submitted for at total of 50 awards across the regions. 


Chief Executive Officer Gavin Riddle said “it’s a real highlight to be able to recognise and reward our landscapers for their exceptional technical and personal skills. It is this combination of expertise that enables us to deliver and maintain landscapes that exceed our clients expectations.”

Award celebrations took place around the regions over the month of July with all teams getting to enjoy an evening out with their partners. Each regional winner was announced at their respective ceremonies and flown to Auckland for the grand final at Ellerslie Event Centre.  


“This really is the highlight in our landscaping calendar,” says Chief Operations Officer Brian Spencer. “Our teams work hard, particularly through the winter planting season so it’s fantastic to get together and celebrate the work they do, every day.”
