Nevada Landascape Association

Celebrating 20 Years of Service to Nevada's Horticulture Industry

The Nevada Landscape Association (NLA) was founded in 1990 by a group of Northern Nevada Green Industry professionals who shared some concern over the growing landscape industry and who had the foresight to unite as a single voice for local businesses. The NLA's Northern Nevada Chapter started shortly thereafter and focused on legislative issues which would negatively impact the industry.

As local Green Industry businesses flourished, so did the NLA. In 1997 the NLA became statewide with the addition of a Southern Nevada Chapter. Over the years, with education, communication and community involvement, the NLA has helped to increase professionalism and raise standards in the Nevada. And, with the implementation of the Landscape Industry Certified (formerly Certified Landscape Technician program in 2005, the NLA now provides landscapers with an opportunity to be nationally certified.
