HEATHER SWEENEY
SENIOR LANDSCAPE DESIGNER
If you can imagine it, Heather can bring it to life. And if you can’t quite envision it, Heather can! With her contagious can-do attitude, 18 years of experience at Mom’s and two degrees from NDSU in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Design, Heather is more than capable of turning dreams and designs into stunning reality! The proof is in her impressive landscaping projects, several of which have won awards-even nationally! She is known for incorporating one-of-a-kind details unique to each client’s personality, but her real magic just might be in her ability to understand what her client wants … even when they don’t quite know it themselves! Indeed, Heather has found her calling.
Don’t just take it from us… The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), HGTV, Midwest Home, and MNLA think Heather’s pretty great too! Here are some of her most recent awards:
