MCLD Wins Four International Design Awards From APLD !!!

I am completely humbled and filled with immense pride to announce that MCLD has won FOUR awards from the Association of Professional Landscape Designers in their 2013 International Landscape Design Awards Program!!!  This year’s judging panel was filled with an incredible group of seasoned professionals, and you can read more about each of them by checking out the APLD’s Press Release.  Two of our gardens will receive gold awards, and two will receive merit awards at the APLD International Design Conference being held in Detroit, Michigan from August 2nd to the 4th.

The “Farlow Hill Residence” (gold award recipient) is located in Newton, MA, and was crafted in 2008 by Robert Hanss Landscape Construction of Chestnut Hill, MA.  The “Belmont Hill Residence” (gold award recipient) is located in Belmont, MA and was built in 2006 by Gardenform Landscape Construction of Lunenburg, MA.  The “Front Ridge Residence” (merit award recipient) is located in Penobscot, ME, and this garden was actually built by the homeowners!  Last but not least, “Valentine Park” (merit award recipient) is located in West Newton, MA, and was constructed in 2011 by the Phil Mastroianni Corporation of Waltham, MA.

Combined, the list of collaborators for these projects is extensive, and we are so grateful to work with so many wonderful and talented landscape contractors, architects, interior designers, builders, and other field-related consultants to build projects like these.  However, at the end of the day, none of these gardens would be possible without the shared vision of our clients who engage our help to design these spaces—so thank you to each of you (you know who you are!) for your phenomenal trust and support through the design and construction process.  Thank you so much APLD for recognizing our work this year!!!
