BC
Landscape Award of Excellence Winners 2009
Unique
or Special Feature
Pacifica
Landscape Works

This piece of streetscape was overgrown, and had zero curb appeal.
The solution was to create a series of walls and translucent screens
that provide a backdrop for striking architectural foliage, and come
alive at night with unique silhouettes. |

Small
Space Garden

The ambience of a high end rooftop lounge fills this patio space. Custom
designed and pre-constructed for light weight, all materials were craned
into place. A glowing bar creates a central gathering point; a fire
pit cut into the surface of the deck provides warmth and leads your
eyes out toward spectacular views. |

SoundGarden
Landscape and Design Ltd. |
www.asoundgarden.com
This one-acre property is located in the beautiful
Pemberton Valley facing Mount Currie. Landscape debris
is re-used: leaves are mulched and incorporated into
soils; branches are chipped for compost when possible.
Only organic based fertilizers are used and when the
lawn stresses they dig out weeds as they arise. Natural
horsetail area on one side of the property creeps into
the beds from time to time, but SoundGarden has learned
to embrace it in one area and cultivate it into the
soil in another. |

Installation - Single Family Residential
Kroll
Construction
www.krolconstruction.com
This L-shaped backyard presented numerous
design challenges, being dominated by a
two-car garage and surrounding houses on
higher ground. A representational creek-bed
was constructed with feather-rock. With
trees for privacy, and central plantings
representative of running water and marginal
aquatics, this strong, idealized feature
offsets the dominance of the garage. Designed
by Geoff Woods. |

Lyons Garden Centre and Landscaping

An uncompromising respect for the natural mountain terrain, native grasses
and pine trees underscores the landscaping for this residential property
in Kamloops. Inspired by their passion for golf, the clients engaged
the design team to create a resort-style landscape. As part of its commitment
to high landscape standards and environmental sustainability, the company
was able to provide lushness this arid climate by introducing xeriscape
techniques, an efficient drip irrigation system, plants suitable to the
environment, soil amendments and artificial turf. |

Installation - Single Family Residential
Acacia
Landscape
www.acaciavictoria.com
This narrow site featured a 12 foot grade change over 50 feet. The
property had no direct access, which meant negotiating an easement
through the neighbor’s property to facilitate machine and material
portability. The setting and architecture of the house have a Mediterranean
feel, which directed the design, material choice and colour scheme.
The end result has been successful not only from an aesthetic point
of view but also from a functional one, offering spaces for small and
large gatherings, and magical places for children to explore and play. |

Pacifica
Landscape Works

A true West Coast resort, this installation assures a gathering of
family and friends. A naturalized swimming pool and waterfall, an outdoor
kitchen, fire-pit, and a large patio space were incorporated. A dramatic
waterfall was designed to cascade down the hill and under a curved
viewing bridge before plummeting into the pool below. |

About
the
BC Landscape Awards of Excellence
The BC Landscape
Awards of Excellence is coordinated by the BCLNA to recognize
and profile the high standard of landscaping excellence in BC.
The program began in 1981 as an opportunity for BC landscape
professionals to officially showcase their quality landscaping
projects in a competition. Today, this opportunity has grown
to a rewarding, prominent event exposing landscapers and sponsors
to over 200,000 potential customers! This is a great way for
landscapers to market their services and skills by showing their
clients the passion and pride they take in their work. At the
same time, sponsors demonstrate their loyalty to the industry
and to their landscape customers.
For more information please email us!

How
to Enter the BC Landscape Awards of Excellence
Plan in advance which landscaping projects you are entering to
demonstrate to the judges the effort and expertise it took to complete
each transformation. First, be sure that the projects will
be in 'full bloom' around judging time (late August/early September).
Occasionally, with a 'young garden' it is better to wait a year
to enter. Once you have decided on the projects you want to enter,
start taking some 'before' pictures of the sites (always a good
visual tool to influence the judge's decisions). Finally, be sure
to enter by the deadline (usually the second or last week of August).
