Award Winners
LCA's Excellence in Landscape Awards competition is held annually and recognizes landscape projects of exceptional quality. Each project is judged on its own merit against criteria specific to each category. If the firm both designed and built the project, they may submit an entry that recognizes their design work as well. Awards are given for residential or commercial landscape installation and maintenance, both interior and exterior, or for special events. There can be more than one award in any category since each project is evaluated on its merit.
Award winners are also featured in Home & Design magazine.
