LOCAL COMPANY RECOGNIZED FOR WINNING LANDSCAPE

Los Gatos Times Weekly

Katoscapes, Inc., a Los Gatos-based landscape design, installation and maintenance company founded by David Kato, recently won the Judges Award in the Design Build category at the California Landscape Contractors' Association's 25th annual Landscape Achievement Awards.

The project for which Katoscapes received recognition was the outdoor pool and entertainment areas of the Waitte residence, a 104-year-old Los Gatos Historical Home on Glenridge Avenue. Kato and his crew created a customized brick patio, metal and wood arches with an Old World flavor, a brick-and-stone patio with wood trellises, a children's play area, a dog play area and room for a perennial garden.

Katoscapes has won more than 50 local and state awards for residential gardens in the 14 years that Kato has been competing.
