Phoenix Award

The Menomonee Valley Industrial Center & Community Park project received the 2009 Phoenix Award for excellence in brownfield development and is recognized by the Sierra Club as “One of the Ten Best Developments in the Nation.” Marek Landscaping completed the landscape construction for the entire site, including the riverbank, native seeding, turf seeding, trees & shrubs, and 5-year maintenance. Marek also worked with the Landscape Architect to specify plantings that are native to Milwaukee County and on construction specifications. The project is one of the best examples of a successful native plant community establishment in an urbanized area.
