Two B.C. firms have been recognized with National Awards of Landscape Excellence (NALE).

The National Awards of Landscape Excellence (NALE) celebrate Canadian companies that have made significant strides in raising professionalism within the landscape industry. Each province nominates members from their Provincial Awards of Excellence, who then compete at the national level. Provinces can enter up to three submissions per category, comprising 15 entries per association, in categories such as commercial landscape construction, residential landscape construction, landscape maintenance, and landscape design.

Para Space Landscaping and Fossil Landscape Construction both won awards in their respective categories.
