News Southern Botanical wins Grand Awards from NALP for Commercial & Residential projects October 23, 2015 Dallas, TX, October, 23 2015 – The National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) announced that Dallas Landscaping Services Company, Southern Botanical, Inc. has been awarded 2 prestigious Grand Awards for their exemplary work on two spectacular properties. The awards were presented at the 46th annual National Landscape Awards of Excellence Program. This is the premier national awards program in the landscape industry and the awards ceremony is part of NALP’s Green Industry Conference. The Grand Award is the program’s top category. NALP’s awards program recognizes interiorscape, landscape, and lawn care professionals who design and create superior projects, and reflects the association’s commitment to supporting members in the creation and preservation of great landscapes. The two winning entries included an urban park in the Commercial Landscape Management category for Institutional Maintenance and a North Dallas residence in the Residential Contracting over $1 Million category. Klyde Warren Park, which spans a major freeway between the Dallas Arts District and Uptown was selected for its meticulous attention to detail and beautiful results. Because the park is built on a bridge, it requires specialized soils, fertilization and watering practices as well as other unique attention to keep this high-traffic and popular attraction looking its best. The Residential winner is a magnificent Dallas estate that features a huge underground cistern installed to capture and re-purpose rain and landscape runoff water for irrigation.
