A trade association for landscape and lawn professionals that offers resources about landscape design, installation and care.
The National Association of Landscape Professionals, known as NALP, describes itself as a trade association that serves landscape, lawn care and tree care professionals. Its website provides resources for professionals and information for consumers about working with landscape companies. Retaining walls are often part of landscape projects, so owners in Nashville may find it useful to read about how landscape work is organized.
We are an independent firm and are not part of NALP. We work with landscape designers and contractors and coordinate wall work with planting, irrigation and hardscape. If you are planning a landscape project, general resources can help you think about design, maintenance and questions to ask. The official site is a helpful starting point, and we are glad to explain how walls and plants work together on slopes and terraces.
