Lay of the landscapes

The Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado has recognized two Colorado Springs landscapes with its Excellence in Landscape Awards.

Nature's Way Waterscapes Inc. of Broomfield won an Award of Excellence in the Water Features category for the fountain at the Corporate Financial Center, 2260 Briargate Parkway.

Landtech Contractors Inc. of Colorado Springs won an Award of Excellence in Landscape Maintenance for its work at Pine Terrace near the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.

"What's cool about Pine Terrace is that the property now uses no dangerous chemicals in its maintenance while demonstrating the proper use of water without waste," said Mike Mc-Clure of Landtech Contractors.
