Lambert’s takes home grand award for Highland Park landscape project
DALLAS, Texas — October 1, 2014 – Lambert Landscape Company recently received the landscape industry’s highest honor for a French country estate located in the City of Highland Park, Texas.
The prestigious National Landscaping Awards of Excellence are given annually by the Professional Landcare Network (PLANET, an acronym for the national association of landscape professionals), and will be handed out at the annual PLANET-sponsored Green Industry Conference & Expo in Louisville, Kentucky, on October 23, 2014.
Grand Award Residential Design-Build
The Grand Award in Residential Design-Build recognizes superior achievement in design and integrated delivery and the exquisite residence was judged to be a showcase of unified vision and execution.
The expansive one-acre plus landscape was designed by Lambert’s president and director of design, landscape architect Paul Fields, ASLA, and constructed also by Lambert’s in a design-build partnership with the architect, interior designer and building contractor.
The project required 29 months to complete due to extensive sourcing of authentic materials, antiques and artisanal features required to replicate the style, character and timeless design of the distinctive architecture of the region as well as the neighborhood’s existing European-influenced architecture.
The property is currently maintained by Lambert’s in line with the company’s commitment to sustainability through environmentally safe organic materials and applications.
The Highland Park residence was recently the site of a home and garden tour hosted by the Dallas Chapter of the Institute of Classical Art & Architecture (ICAA) and featuring Paul Fields in a panel discussion on integrated design.
The project team included Larry Boerder and Adrian Callais of Larry E. Boerder Architects; Rusty Goff, Goff Custom Homes; and Barbara Vessels, ASID, Barbara J. Vessels Interiors.
