ATLANTA, GA – Gainesville-based New Leaf Landscape Services has received four awards from the Metropolitan Atlanta Landscape and Turf Association for the 2009 Professional Landscape Awards, including a Grand Award for the maintenance of the company’s landscape installation at the mountain home of Norm and Angie Moye in Dahlonega.
Additionally, the company was recognized for the following:
“It is quite an honor to receive a Grand award, plus receiving awards for our other projects speaks well of our staff,” said Steve Murray, president and founder of New Leaf Landscape Services Inc., which serves the greater Northeast Georgia area as a full-service design, installation and maintenance landscaping firm. “Being judged by our peers and winning recognition each year that we have entered the MALTA awards reinforces the quality and professionalism that New Leaf has built its reputation on.”
The Moye’s mountain home, nestled in the woods, is built in a cottage style. New Leaf designed a plan that would highlight the natural setting and be relatively maintenance free. Last year the company received an award of Distinction for the installation, which included a dry creek bed, a meandering cart path and other features that complimented the cottage-style home.
MALTA promotes professionalism, adherence to industry standards and education. The association’s annual Professional Landscape Awards program serves all three goals.
The 2009 awards included 63 entries in 12 categories, encompassing installation, maintenance, seasonal color, green innovations, and community service. MALTA members submitted photographs and project descriptions which were judged by a panel of industry experts without knowledge of company names. Entries do not compete against each other; they are evaluated using criteria specific to the category to determine the award earned.
The awards will be presented in mid-January at a banquet was sponsored by John Deere Landscapes, Buck Jones Nursery, and Atlanta Home Improvement Magazine.
