We’re pretty proud to see Ryan recognized across several different parts of his operations this year—including Favorite for Best Landscape Company.
A lot of years, a lot of projects, and a lot of great customers are represented by these four awards.
Thank you to everyone who voted and continues to support our businesses!
Apparently, having a hard time picking just one business has finally paid off. 😂
The 2026 Readers’ Choice results are out, and this was a pretty incredible year for Ryan and the businesses he gets to be a part of.
🏆 Winner — Best Insurance Agent — Ryan Scritchlow - The Scritchlow Agency - COUNTRY Financial
🏆 Winner — Best Contractor / Remodeler — Ryan Scritchlow - Scritchlow Landscaping and Hydroseeding
⭐ Favorite Top 3 — Best Landscape Company — Scritchlow Landscaping and Hydroseeding
⭐ Favorite Top 3 — Best Financial Planner — Ryan Scritchlow - The Scritchlow Agency
Two first-place wins. Two Top 3 Favorites. And recognition across some very different parts of Ryan’s operations.
But there are a lot more people represented by these four awards than the guy whose name is on them.
They represent the employees who show up every day, the customers and clients who trust us, the friends and family who have supported some pretty crazy ideas over the years, and a community that has continued to support our local businesses.
To everyone who voted—and everyone who has been part of the journey along the way—thank you.
We’re incredibly grateful to call Bloomington-Normal home. 💚
And apparently Ryan’s next problem is figuring out where to put four awards. 😂
