David J. Frank Wins Five National Landscape Awards in 2023

Three golds in one year the most in company history

The Only Wisconsin Company to Win a National Award of Excellence This Year

To say our results in this year’s prestigious National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) Awards of Excellence competition were impressive is an understatement. Competing against dozens of landscape companies throughout the country we won five awards: three golds and two silvers.

The results were announced recently at NALP’s annual conference. We combed our company archives and couldn’t find a year when we won more than two national golds at one time. So, we’re going to go ahead and say we made company history in 2023. (Incidentally, we won our first national award in 1978.)

The Awards of Excellence recognize exceptional commercial and residential landscape installation, maintenance, and design projects from around the nation. Projects range in size and scope from less than $25,000 to more than $1 million.

These five projects also won five state medals, four golds and one silver, earlier this year in the Wisconsin Landscape Contractors Association’s Excellence in Landscaping Awards competition. Our four gold medals were the most of any Wisconsin landscape company this year.
