Southview Design Receives Three MNLA Awards for Excellence in Landscaping

Southview Design was recently honored by the Minnesota Nursery and Landscape Association (MNLA) with multiple awards for Excellence in Landscaping.

A panel of practicing professionals in landscape education, landscape architecture and horticulture judged each entry based upon quality of design, appropriateness of materials used, and the superiority of the workmanship. Entries are not judged against each other, but rather against standards of excellence in the green industry.

Before: The lawn was mostly damp and unusable.

Before: "It's boring, ugly, and has no character," complained the homeowner.

After: A stylish backyard with multiple spaces for relaxation and activities.
