(Fort Collins, Colorado, September 18, 2019) – Alpine Gardens is proud to announce it has been awarded an Award of Excellence- Bronze Award by the National Association of Landscape Professionals.
The Carter Lake Retreat was designed for clients who dreamed of creating an English style flower garden for their large foothills property in northern Colorado. A design was created that included use of evergreens and native boulders to give interest during the 6 months that the deciduous plants would be without leaves. A large natural looking patio space for entertainment and a raised patio for entertainment or small conversation groups. Varieties of plants that were blooming during the entire growing season were used to provide color and interest, to screen off unwanted views under the deck and to create natural plant “walls” so that an outdoor room feel could be had when using the space. Plants that were not attractive to deer and rabbits were used. An irrigation system and low voltage lighting system were designed to enhance the evening experience.
Each year, the National Association Landscape Professionals Awards of Excellence recognizes exceptional landscape, lawn care, and interior plantscape design projects from around the nation. This year,128 awards were bestowed for maintenance, design/build or contracting projects.
