Landmark Landscapes Earns Gold and Two Silver Awards at 2026 WLCA Awards of Excellence

This past Friday, March 13th, our team had the honor of attending the Wisconsin Landscape Contractors Association (WLCA) Awards Ceremony—and it was a night worth celebrating.

Landmark Landscapes was recognized with one Gold Award of Excellence and two Silver Awards of Excellence, a reflection of the creativity, craftsmanship, and commitment our team brings to every project.

These awards are more than just recognition—they represent what’s possible when thoughtful design, expert execution, and client collaboration come together.

Moraine Oasis – Outdoor Living Destination (Silver Award)

What began as a simple request for an outdoor kitchen quickly evolved into something much more.

The Moraine Oasis project demonstrates how a single idea can transform an entire property into a cohesive outdoor living experience.

Rather than treating the kitchen as a standalone feature, the design reimagined the entire space—connecting the home, patio, and pool into a unified environment built for entertaining, relaxing, and gathering.

The result is a landscape that doesn’t just function well—it flows. Every space has purpose. Every transition feels intentional.

This is what happens when you “begin with the end in mind.”

Shoreline Serenity – Gold Award of Excellence Winner

This project started with an underutilized lakeside property and a clear vision: create a space where outdoor living truly feels like an extension of the home.

The design focused on maximizing the waterfront experience—balancing beauty, usability, and connection to the surrounding environment.

The end result is a landscape that feels effortless yet highly intentional:

Spaces designed for gathering and quiet retreat

Seamless integration with the lakeshore

A layout that enhances how the family lives outdoors

Winning a Gold Award of Excellence is reserved for projects that stand out at the highest level—and Shoreline Serenity delivers on every front.

Sunset Pavilion – Lakeside Renovation (Silver Award)

Sunset Pavilion began with a challenge: an aging, constrained lakeside property that needed to be transformed into something both functional and visually striking.

Through thoughtful planning and design, the space was reimagined into a refined outdoor environment that:

Maximizes usable space

Meets regulatory requirements

Enhances the lakeside experience

The finished project strikes a balance between structure and openness—creating a destination that feels both grounded and expansive.

Why WLCA Awards Matter

The Wisconsin Landscape Contractors Association (WLCA) Awards of Excellence program recognizes the best landscape projects across the state—judging based on design, craftsmanship, innovation, and overall execution.

Earning an award from WLCA means your work stands among the top in Wisconsin.

Earning three awards in one year—including a Gold—speaks to something bigger:

A commitment to process

A culture of craftsmanship

A team aligned around doing exceptional work

Simply put, this is what it looks like when a team is dedicated to creating art through ecology.

A Team Effort Worth Celebrating

Behind every award-winning project is a team of designers, account managers, crews, and clients working together toward a shared vision.

We’re grateful for:

Clients who trust us with their properties

Team members who take pride in their craft

Partners who help bring these projects to life

These awards belong to all of you.
