TruGreen LandCare has won a multitude of awards for superior
landscape maintenance and design. Here are a few examples.
BASF
At BASF World Headquarters, TruGreen LandCare maintains an elliptical garden
path constructed of pavers surrounding the numerous buildings and a 2-mile
nature trail. We also monitor the property for deer and other wildlife to
assure the animals do not damage the surrounding landscape.
CFC
The National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corp in Gainesville, Virginia
features striking glass and granite buildings. The complementing landscape is
an interesting juxtaposition that acknowledges the company's commitment to
environmental issues. The property's crowning glory is a pair of courtyards
offering an abundant mix of perennials, flowering shrubs, ornamental grasses,
and trees.
Freddie Mac
Freddie Mac's Headquarters in McLean, Virginia is the 33-acre crown jewel of a
high tech office infrastructure. Freddie Mac has used several renowned
landscape architects to create a lush park-like setting by incorporating native
species, perennials, and grasses. Mature perennials are regularly thinned to
maintain long-term vigor. TruGreen LandCare also offers consulting and
educational programs for the community of Freddie Mac employees.
Gaylord Palms
The goal on this spectacular 63-acre site is to maintain a turn of the
century-type estate garden. We selectively prune all plant material by hand as
opposed to shearing. We generously use creative displays of annuals and develop
them through a trailing program. The combination of a convention center and
resort creates scheduling challenges, but we have porter services operating
throughout the property seven days a week. Keeping the grounds perfectly
manicured year-round is also a challenge, particularly in the heat of the
central Florida summers.
Howard Hughes
The ten year-old maturity of the landscape at the Howard Hughes Medical
Institute in Chevy Chase, Maryland necessitates diverse landscape maintenance
techniques to ensure its viability. Geometric courtyards and balconies give way
to paved and naturalized walkways throughout the property, encouraging
exploration and enjoyment of the grounds. We hand-prune all plant material and
perfectly time insect and disease treatments.
Island Walk
Island Walk is a 700-acre gated community located on Florida's Southwest coast.
Our staff of 28 full-time gardeners maintains the site in pristine condition.
Maintenance challenges include the mowing of tens of thousands of square feet
of steep slopes around water features, and manicuring a putting green and lawn
bowling court.
Maryland Institute of Art
The Maryland Institute of Art campus stretches over 21 square city blocks.
Landscaped areas are vast and diverse and include plazas, streetscapes, and
intimate courtyard gardens. In addition to the basic landscape contract,
TruGreen LandCare's responsibilities include hand-watering of the landscape.
Coordination of maintenance activities with the school administration is
critical, as many community and campus events are held on the grounds each
year.
Oracle
Located in the busy metropolis of Reston, Virginia, Oracle Corporation's chrome
signage is flanked by colorful annual plantings and flowing grasses that make a
bold statement. Much of the landscape is softened by plantings that reinforce
the natural themes and vernacular landscape characteristic of Northern
Virginia.
Riderwood Village
The Riderwood Village Retirement Community was designed with seniors in mind,
incorporating bird feeding areas, bird boxes, and plant materials known for
their aromatic qualities. The site is groomed to the highest standards to
attract new residents and keep current residents satisfied and excited about
their environment. TruGreen LandCare must also keep in consideration the needs
of a 100-strong resident garden club, when manicuring the landscape. In
addition, there is strong client involvement from an on-site graduate of the
Horticulture Program at Longwood Gardens.
Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort
The Ritz Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, Florida is a three hundred-room,
four-star, luxury resort overlooking the eighteenth green of the Greg Norman
Tiburan Golf Club. TruGreen LandCare dedicates a full-time on-site staff to
service the 13 acres of tropical turf, a practice putting green, and 10,000
units of seasonal color.
Texas State Capitol
Situated in downtown Austin, the prestigious State Capitol of Texas includes 14
acres of immaculate turf and abundant flowerbeds. The property experiences a
high volume of foot traffic causing extreme wear and tear on the turf and plant
material. Because of the excessive heat and wet conditions, TruGreen LandCare
remedies turf areas that are prone to disease infestation.
Trinity Center
At the high-end office park in Centerville, Virginia, TruGreen LandCare's
responsibilities include not only basic landscape and irrigation maintenance,
but also the challenge of soil structure amendment through aeration and
vertical mulching. This ongoing project has slowly rejuvenated damaged trees
and shrubs which was resultant from early years in the heavy clay soil. The
site contains a five-acre lake and a storm water retention pond.
