The Stay Green team earned two awards from the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP), which recognizes the nation’s best landscaping projects and companies through its annual Awards of Excellence program.

Our employees are a part of our family and their well-being matters immensely to us. We will always do whatever it takes to keep them safe. These NALP awards recognize that we are achieving this goal.”

Stay Green is being honored with the bronze award for Overall Safety Achievement as well as the award for Most Improved Employee Safety.

“2020 has been a trying year to say the least, and to receive the award for most improved safety when times have been so uncertain and safety has been everyone’s highest priority means the world to us,” Angelo said.
