PORT ST. LUCIE, FL--(Marketwired - December 03, 2015) - Yellowstone Landscape is pleased to announce that Tradition has been awarded a Landscape Award of Excellence by the National Association of Landscape Professionals.

The Landscape Award of Excellence recognizes Tradition as one of the nation's most exceptional commercial landscape management projects.

The vision for Tradition is one of a pedestrian-friendly town with a traditional vernacular ambiance. It is intentionally and distinctly one of a small town, developed through time and reflecting the changes of past generations. A community that is a beautiful place with lasting value.

Tradition's landscape plays a pivotal role in creating a strong sense of community identity and continuity throughout its commercial, residential, and public rights of way. The landscape accentuates major entrances, enhances internal streetscapes and complements the design of its commercial and public buildings. The community takes great pride in providing manicured green spaces for residents and visitors to enjoy.

Yellowstone Landscape's management services for Tradition include over 3 million square feet of turf and over 400,000 square feet of ornamental beds. The property also includes more than 2,500 native trees and an additional 1,500 palms scattered throughout the development. More than 4,000 annual flowers are changed at each rotation and are carefully selected to complement the flowering trees and shrubs across Tradition.

Upon presenting the award to John Gallagher, President of the Tradition Community Association, Bill Dellecker, EVP of Yellowstone Landscape said, "To receive such national recognition for our work at Tradition is especially significant, since this community is an active place where the landscape is utilized by residents daily; the pride that Tradition exhibits in how the landscape looks is shared by us." John Gallagher added, "I am honored to accept this award on behalf of the community of Tradition. It is exciting to see what can be achieved when people, including owners, residents, managers and contractors, work together to achieve the best for their community."

Yellowstone Landscape wishes to congratulate Tradition and its entire management team on this well-deserved national landscape award of excellence.
