ECHO Honors 10 Companies Earning the PGMS Green Star Award

November 06, 2018

Ten professional user groups of ECHO equipment received recognition in the 46th Annual Professional Grounds Management Awards announced at the recent GIE+EXPO trade show in Louisville, KY.

Sponsored by the Professional Grounds Management Society (PGMS), the annual awards bring national recognition to grounds maintained with a high degree of excellence. The program complements other national landscape award programs that recognize outstanding landscape design and construction.

The program salutes the grounds superintendent responsible for maintaining a well-manicured landscape year round. Grand, Honor and Merit Awards are offered in 15 categories, covering all types of private, public commercial and industrial landscapes. To qualify for entry, a landscape must be at least two years old and under your continuous maintenance for at least two years.
