Each Year the BC Landscape Awards of Excellence program honours some of the high quality work being done by landscape professionals throughout the province.

A new panel of judges convene each year to assess the entries based on national criteria that includes:

  • quality of materials and workmanship,
  • site suitability and environmental practices
  • attention to detail and degree of difficulty

Each entry is judged anonymously and independently to ensure a fair assessment. Thank you to the 2015 judges who took time out of their busy schedules to judge all the awards.

This 36th floor condo patio provides plenty of living space and amazing views. The challenge was to create a personal oasis in the city without obstructing the scenery. Thus use of stone pavers, crushed lava rock and basalt boulder helped bring a more natural feel to this semi formal design. Careful placement of pots and select plantings help to soften this inner city hardscape.

The idea behind this garden design was to create separate spaces to relax and enjoy the garden unified by the mix of natural and precast materials. Soft blues, tans & whites were used to generate a calming tone throughout. From the low seating walls to the verticality of the arbors, both combined to bring depth and scale to this small garden.
