(POWAY, CA) – For the past 16 years, Benchmark Landscape has been recognized for excellence by the California Landscape Contractors Association (CLCA) at the CLCA’s Annual Beautification Awards Program.  This year Benchmark Landscape earned six awards including top honors in Commercial Construction, California-Friendly Landscape Construction Commercial, two in Commercial Maintenance and two California Friendly Landscape Maintenance awards.

“I am very happy that the hard work of our entire team has been recognized by the CLCA,” said John Mohns, president, Benchmark Landscape. “Although our first priority is to please our client, it is always an honor to be acknowledged by your peers.”

Benchmark scored two wins for its project with Saint Gabriel’s Catholic Church in Poway.   This was a unique project as one of the church’s parishioners donated approximately sixty various sized mature California Live Oak trees to be used in the new landscaping.  Hundreds of large, natural boulders were placed throughout the church site along with an extensive plant pallet consisting of California native and drought tolerant plants and ornamental grasses. Additionally, Benchmark Landscape installed a system that pumps ground water into two-5,000 gallon above ground tanks to irrigate the entire property.  With this system, the property will be irrigated properly and the church will save a considerable amount on its water usage.

“Benchmark Landscape is a consistent winner at the CLCA’s Beautification Awards year after year,” says Sharon May, president of the CLCA San Diego Chapter. “Their work is always unique, attractive and topnotch.  No wonder they are one of Southern California’s leading landscapers.”
