SiteOne Landscape Supply, Roswell, Georgia, alongside customers and suppliers, invested time, talent and materials at Champions Place to create a special outdoor living space for its residents. Champions Place is made possible by Champions Community Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving physically challenged young adults who have aged out of high school programs. It is committed to significantly improving the lives of young adults with physical disabilities, enabling them to reach their full potential as self-reliant, productive and fulfilled citizens in their local community.
Champions Place landscaping was made possible with volunteer installation by All-American Landscape, Aqua Underground, Davis Landscape, J&J Landscape, LDC Landscape, Meadows Landscape, Metro Contracting, Oasis Landscape and Irrigation, Russell Landscape Group, Showcase Outdoor Lighting, Sprinkalawn and Young Earth Systems.

“It is an honor and privilege to team up with our partners to make this space a reality for the exceptional young men and women who call Champions Place home,” says Doug Black, CEO of SiteOne Landscape Supply. “This was a total team effort from those in the industry who truly believe in being stronger together, to make a big impact in the communities we serve.”
Randy Moody, area sales manager at SiteOne Landscape Supply, oversaw the project.
“The living space is state-of-the-art and looks great,” says Moody. “However, through the landscaping, we were really able to transform Champions Place into a true home.”
