Lynch Wins Best Landscape Designer in Wayland

With all the green space in Wayland, it comes as no surprise that people take their yards and gardens pretty seriously. And when it comes to exterior decorating -- in the sense of designing those gardens and yards -- you told us where you go.

Earning 60 percent of the vote, Lynch Tree and Landscape is your pick for the Best of Patch Readers' Choice landscape designer in Wayland.

It was brought to our attention after the poll posted that Creative Yard Designs is the same business as Lynch. For legal reasons, we can't alter a poll in the middle of the contest, but we did not take votes for Creative Yard Design into account when it came to naming a winner. We apologize for the oversight.

Even though you raved about Lynch Tree and Landscape -- "I am absolutely delighted with the landscaping of my yard.... it was a pleasure to deal with Lynch!" Alexandra Statland commented -- you also had some nice things to say about other businesses in town.

We had write in votes for SP Landscaping, and Gardens by the Yard earned second place with 30 percent of the vote.

Gardens by Renee was Kate's pick. She commented: "Not only did Renee design, plan and plant our amazing perennial beds, but she installed a fabulous fully-planted and irrigated organic raised bed vegetable garden at my place, and has taught me how to manage it."

Best of Patch Readers' Choice 2012 is going on summer hiatus; this will be the last poll contest for a while. We plan to be back in the fall with more contests that highlight our local businesses and places — so you can find the "best of" Wayland.

Also in the fall, we will be honoring the winners of our past three month's worth of Best of Patch Readers' Choice contests.
