MNLA Merit Awards

 

The Michigan Nursery & Landscape Association (MNLA), established in 1922, is the largest and oldest statewide Green Industry trade association. The MNLA Industry Awards Program is intended to increase the awareness of quality landscape design and its role in the improvement of the environment. Through this program, outstanding landscapers, designers, installers, and owners are recognized and honored.

Merit Award Projects in Landscape & Design
Brick Paver Driveway Project
Brick Paver Driveway Project

As a landscape design-build company, Esch Landscaping gets involved with a vast variety of projects such as shoreline restoration, landscape plantings, and outdoor living environments such as lakeside patios with fireplaces and sitting walls. A recent project we tackled was a large paver driveway renovation where the existing driveway was old, tired, and frankly, not as functional as the client would have liked.

Creating memorable experiences for our clients is what Esch Landscaping strives for, and this project provided us a unique scope of work. We were asked to take a dark, unusable space and create something special to extend their living space while avoiding the bugs!

The Hidden Courtyard was the 2015 MNLA Industry Award for Commercial Landscape Design and Installation. This project is a true example of an extreme makeover! The existing conditions were very dilapidated and the goal was to create a unique and inviting office entry.

The Roadside Cottage Cove project won the Michigan Landscape Association Award for Residential Landscape Design & Installation in 2016. This was one of the most meaningful and inspiring projects Esch has completed. It was a strong reminder of why we are in this industry and why we value our clients like we do.
