Southern Botanical Receives National Award for Klyde Warren Park
Dallas, TX – October 2025 – Southern Botanical is proud to announce that it has received the prestigious Decade Award from the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) for its long-term maintenance and stewardship of Klyde Warren Park in Dallas, Texas.
Only three Decade Awards were given nationwide in 2025, making this one of the highest honors in the landscape industry.
The Decade Award recognizes companies that have maintained a property for at least 10 years following an initial Gold Award win, demonstrating consistent excellence, innovation, and performance over time.
Southern Botanical has partnered with Klyde Warren Park since 2013, maintaining its 5.4-acre urban green space built atop a freeway deck. It is one of the most unique and challenging parks in the country. Hosting more than one million visitors each year, the park endures constant foot traffic and frequent large-scale events, requiring advanced turf care, precision irrigation, and rapid recovery practices.
Winning the NALP Decade Award is a tremendous honor, but what truly resonates with our team is what this recognition represents: over ten years of delivering great work for our flagship client, Klyde Warren Park,” said Tommy Silvers, Vice President of Operations at Southern Botanical. “Earning national recognition for a long-term partnership is affirmation that exceptional client partners and award-winning results go hand-in-hand. We are proud to have earned this award and look forward to many years of partnership to come.”
Each year, the National Association of Landscape Professionals’ Awards of Excellence honor the top commercial and residential landscape projects across the country. Categories include design, installation, maintenance, and lawn care, and entries are judged on quality, innovation, and craftsmanship.
This award adds to a growing list of national recognitions for Southern Botanical, including recent placements on the 2025 Lawn & Landscape Top 100 list and 2025 LM150 ranking, which recognize the largest and most influential landscape companies in North America.
