Over the many years the company has been in business, Joanne Kostecky Garden Design, Inc. has won more awards than any other Landscape Design/Build firm in Pennsylvania (as awarded by the Pennsylvania Landscape and Nursery Association.)

In 2006, Garden Design celebrates its 28th year in business with even more achievements, awards, articles and acknowledgements. Within the past year, the company was awarded eight design awards from the Pennsylvania Landscape and Nursery Association, including two golds, three silvers, one bronze and one honorable mention. Additionally the company received one best Landscape Design Award from Lehigh Valley Builder's Association, and seven Merit Awards for Design Excellence from the Perennial Plant Association. The Association for Professional Landscape Designers will award their design recognition at their international symposium in July in Philadelphia. The wealth and range of these regional, state-wide, national and international awards support Garden Design's claim to be one of the most award-winning Landscape Design and Construction companies in the country.
