Juliano Gets on the Bus with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

Juliano Associates, LLC was Part of Build

The Emmy-award winning hit ABC television show, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was in the region recently with an extreme home makeover of the Hill family home in Suffield, Connecticut. Juliano Associates, LLC played an important role in the project by providing a landscape design that included hundreds of native, low-maintenance trees, shrubs, annuals and perennials that will provide the family with beauty and color throughout the year.

Western New England builder Kent Pecoy, of Pecoy Signature Homes was chosen by the show to build the home in the span of just one week. As part of the build, Juliano was invited to provide the Hill family with a landscape design that compliments their breathtaking new home. Pecoy Signature Homes as well as other subcontractors and vendors, including Juliano, provided services and materials on a donated basis as part of the build.

According to Tracy Van Rye, lead designer for Juliano, “This is a remarkable opportunity for our organization to be part of something that will change the lives of a very deserving family. We are honored to have played a role in creating a timeless and beautiful landscape environment that the family can enjoy for years to come.”

Heading into its seventh season, the show’s theme will be “get on the bus” inspiring community to join the extreme team in making a difference all across the country. The home build occurred the week of June 21, 2009. The lucky area family was surprised on June 21 by a visit from Ty Pennington, team leader for the show, when the family’s identity was made public.
