The Arizona Landscape Contractors’ Association held its 39^th annual AZ Excellence in Landscaping Awards Program on Saturday, November 21^st, 2015, at Talking Stick Resort and Casino in Scottsdale, AZ. Blue Marble Landscape is proud to have been one of the 36 company ALCA members who were recognized for their extraordinary landscape projects.

There were 33 different categories of residential and commercial installation and maintenance projects. Judging is based on projects designed, constructed, and managed in Arizona by professional contractors and is based on both technical and aesthetic aspects of each project based on guidelines set forth by ALCA. Awards are given to those projects that demonstrate the highest landscape quality, provide unique solutions to problems, conserve natural resources and enhance the environment.

Blue Marble was recognized for three commercial maintenance projects in three different categories. Our communities that received Judges Awards were: Vinsanto, Sonoma Ranch, and Vintage Ranch. We congratulate Johnny Rivera (Account Manager of Vinsanto), Isaac Marquez (Account Manager of Sonoma Ranch and current AM of Vintage Ranch), and Scott Cosgrove (VP of Client Relations and Education) on their wins!
