WALP 2016 Environmental Landscape Awards Recipients
WALP 2016 Environmental Landscape Awards Recipients

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) February 07, 2017 -- Twenty awards were recently announced by the Washington Association of Landscape Professionals (WALP), showcasing the talent and skill of landscape professionals from around Washington State.

The purpose of the awards is to recognize exceptional performance and "foster personal and company pride in superior workmanship" within the landscape industry. The distinction as an award winner lends a large measure of credibility, reliability, and a high level of confidence to customers looking to hire a professional for a landscape project.

Clients that hire award winning companies can be sure they are getting the best of the best in our industry.

Post this

Larry Zimmer, 2017 WALP State President feels that, "Our Environmental Landscape Awards program recognizes our members for some of the extraordinary work they design, install and maintain. It is a testament to the professionalism, talent, and skill of our member companies. Clients that hire award winning companies can be sure they are getting the best of the best in our industry. I always enjoy viewing these award winning projects and appreciate the high quality of work our members produce."

Landscape companies submitted photographs and descriptions showcasing their skills in areas like landscape lighting, landscaping on a slope, creating an inviting residential outdoor space, as well as unique projects such as renovating an atrium, building a tree house, and installing a green roof.

Entries were judged by a panel of experts on difficulty, craftsmanship, relative contribution to environmental quality, and overall excellence. "Of the various awards and recognition we receive throughout the year, the WALP Environmental Landscape Award provides our greatest satisfaction," said Rob Boyker of Avid Landscape Design and Development. "These awards are judged and presented by a blind panel of our peers; well-respected pillars of our local landscape industry. Their expertise allows them the ability to appreciate our workmanship on a level beyond the obvious beauty; a level only familiar to those within the industry. When they judge a project they incorporate the challenges associated with site conditions and materials used. They see beyond the cover page and interpret the entire story behind each project. The awards presented reflect the process of landscaping and not just the final result."

In addition, the WALP Education Foundation awarded two scholarships to students, Caleb Garland of Spokane Community College and Hilary Turner of Edmonds Community College. Caleb and Hilary are enrolled in a horticulture or landscape-related college program and were selected by the foundation as future leaders in the industry. With plans to use their education to meet future challenges of the landscape industry, they have demonstrated a high level of professionalism and competence and may someday themselves be award-winning landscape contractors, designers, architects, or suppliers.

Nyce Gardens: Unique Project, Slope Retention
Contact: Jay and Tina Nyce ▪ 425-260-4646 ▪ info(at)nycegardens(dot)com
After removing 6-8 feet of blackberry covering a hillside, which is not an easy task, Nyce Gardens added new walls which were made of a mix of block, gabion, and steel and created a sitting area where the homeowner can relax and enjoy views of the lake.

Pacific Earth Works, Inc.: Commercial Construction Over $150,000
Contact: 206-625-1749 ▪ 12515 Wagner Road, Monroe, WA
Pacific Earth Works covered more than 11,000 square feet with a green roof on the fifth floor of the Bellevue City Hall parking garage.

Contact: 206-623-7100 ▪ 1127 Poplar Place S, Seattle, WA 98144
With the nearly 40-year-old atrium at Physio Control in Redmond, WA needing an overhaul, Plantscapes removed and replaced old trees, deteriorating hardscape, and 12 inches of soil.

Nyce Gardens gave this Kirkland home an updated landscape that truly sets it apart from its neighbors.

Pacific Earthworks, Inc.: Commercial Construction Over $150,000
Contact: 206-625-1749 ▪ 12515 Wagner Road, Monroe, WA
Pacific Earth Works, Inc. took on a large endeavor in completing a landscape and green roof installation as part of a new building construction.

Award of Merit Recipients

Jefferson Landscaping: Residential Construction, 2 awards
Contact: 206-992-9117 ▪ lindacarroll(at)comcast(dot)net ▪ 17119 232nd Avenue NE, Woodinville, WA 98077
Jefferson Landscaping won two awards in the category of Residential Construction. One project involved creating a more inspiring and inviting outdoor space for a family with young kids. Jefferson Landscaping provided a water feature to add relaxation for adults and a tree house for the kids to enjoy and create memories together.

The other award-winning project was improving a tired and unusable landscape due to poor drainage conditions. Jefferson Landscaping added extensive drainage, amended soil, and added an irrigation system. A new custom ledgestone wall, new plantings, and lighting now give this home a more inviting view from their newly-installed deck and spa.

Pacific Landscape Management, Inc.: Hardscaping
When it comes to challenging conditions, Pacific Landscape Management, Inc. doesn't shy away. This project at a residence involved a slope and subgrade, as well as a majority of the project being on top of a large area of rockery surrounding the site. Despite the challenges, Pacific Landscape Management installed an irrigation system, a paver patio and walkway, and steps that will add value and safety to their home and last for many years to come.

Rock Solid Landscapes, LLC: Unique Project
Contact: 206-523-ROCK (7625) ▪ info(at)rocksolidlandscapes(dot)com ▪ 3300 NE 55th Street Seattle, Washington 98105
Rock Solid Landscapes, LLC was tasked with the goal of providing an environment of year-round creativity and exploration for a family and their young kids.

Rock Solid Landscapes, LLC: Residential Construction Over $50,000
Contact: 206-523-ROCK (7625) ▪ info(at)rocksolidlandscapes(dot)com ▪ 3300 NE 55th Street Seattle, Washington 98105
Years of frustration with poorly draining soil led the homeowners of this project to call Rock Solid Landscapes for help. They were able to provide the family a space to entertain family and friends beside a water feature or play some games in their informal bocce court. Now instead of frustration with their yard, they can relax and have fun instead.
