2021 & 2022 Washington Association of Landscape Professionals Award Winners
PRESS RELEASE: January 13, 2023
The Washington Association of Landscape Professionals (WALP) are proud to announce the recipients of the 2022 Northwest Premiere Landscape Awards Program.
Every year, WALP Members submit projects of various scope in a variety of categories. This past two years we received 17 entries by 8 firms in 8 categories. All the projects earned an award; 5 Award of Distinction, 10 Grand Awards and 2 projects of Special Recognition. Projects were of all sizes from Corporate Campuses to backyard firepit areas.
An Award of Merit means the project meets industry standards. An Award or Distinction means the project is exceptional, but still with some room for improvement somewhere. A Grand Award generally means the project is exceptional with no obvious room for improvement. Usually there is some ‘wow’ factor considered, even in small projects. For the 2021-2022 program years all projects surpassed Merit.
Judges are landscape professionals as well as WALP members and standards are taken seriously. In all categories, the degree of difficulty, be it access or site conditions or some other factor is considered. The projects were judged remotely with communication done via e-mail, Zoom or by phone.
