In addition of 1.3 million sq ft of St Augustine turf, there are sports fields, fitness trails, extensive common space including butterfly and healing gardens.
-
Courtyard Landscape leading to the conference center. This is an enhancement we designed and installed in December 2016.
-
A very uniform appearance is required. On a site this large, that at times can be difficult. Turf, shrubs and trees must be properly maintained as a whole. Cycling maintenance areas or servicing in quadrants is not allowed.
-
Extensive parking lots with oak trees create leaf drop issues. Parking lot sweeping and cleaning is required weekly.
-
Extensive replanting with native plants, trees and ornamental grasses provided dramatic water savings.
-
Turf striping with a uniform pattern is required. The view from the buildings looking down on the landscape provided challenges when the turf stripes varied. The executives want to see uniformity.
-
All tree canopies must be maintained at the same level. This long range picture shows all tree canopies at 7 ft. There are 7,890 trees of varied species on this site.
-
Uniformity is key. Turf color, trimming, irrigation usage. All services must be uniform and performed when the site is vacant.
-
Large reflecting pools compliment the pristine landscape. The campus is the work place for 4900 employees daily.
