Outdoor Living announced that it has won the Gold Award in the residential design-build category from the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) for its work on its Boat House & Dunes project in Oak Island.

“The visionary project balances waterfront views with bold, innovative landscaping, overcoming challenging island conditions to deliver a sanctuary of beauty and functionality,” according to an Element news release. “It features creative grading and plant choices that thrive in harsh environments.”

Each year, NALP’s Awards of Excellence honor outstanding landscape projects nationwide, the release stated. The association represents more than 1 million landscape, lawn care, irrigation and tree care professionals.

Blair Walton, owner of Element Outdoor Living, stated in the release, “Our focus is always on delivering exceptional outdoor living spaces that inspire, and this project is a testament to that mission.”

Element Outdoor Living specializes in large-scale, custom-designed exterior renovations, with expertise in landscape design, construction, and irrigation, according to the release.
