The LCA treated members, landscape architects, landscape designers, builders and horticulturalists; to an awesome display of their skills at the 2009 LCA Awards at Australian Technology Park in Eveleigh. AILDM Immediate Past President Arthur Lathouris and his wife Rosemary were amongst those in attendance.
As the sun set they strolled amidst a pictorial plethora of work by LCA members whilst being served canapés, cold ales and wines.
They heard all about the blood sweat and tears needed to produce such excellent work from the Category Winners (see below). One winner had to overcome flood, winds and drought in one project losing 130,000 plant plugs overnight in one such episode!
On one job alone, multi industry award winners, Able Landscaping from Canberra; laid over 20,000 square metres of paving!!!!!
Another category winner Landscape Solutions; built Sydney’s newest harbourside park at Ballast Point in Birchgrove, approximately 7 kilometres from Sydney’s CBD. The gabion wall there has to be seen to be believed.
Congratulation to LCA/AILDM members ‘Good Manors Residential Gardens’, ‘Natures Vision Landscapes” and ‘The Gardenmakers’ who were amongst the Category Winners (see below).
