RECOGNITION
We believe that the test of great landscape architecture is whether its users love it. Happily, we often learn that this is the case — from unsolicited testimonials and the dedication of volunteer friends' groups — to the thousands of pictures of our projects that people upload to image-sharing websites.

At the same time, we often pursue more formal awards and media coverage and are honored that Halvorson Design has been thus recognized more than 100 times. Here is a sampling.
