14 THE DAVEY BULLETIN | November/December 2020 GOLD AWARD EARNED FOR BABCOCK RANCH LANDSCAPE CARE Davey has earned a prestigious 2020 Gold Award from the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) for landscape care at the Babcock Ranch residential community in southwestern Florida. Babcock Ranch is an innovative and sustainable community located in Punta Gorda, Florida, with over 17,000 acres of nature preserves and more than 500 residential homes. A mini city, Babcock Ranch offers public and private residential amenities, complete with walking trails, manicured lawn spaces, crafted landscape beds, and a variety of native trees and shrubs. The NALP Awards of Excellence recognizes exceptional landscape, lawn care, and interior plantscape design projects from around the nation for maintenance, design/build or contracting projects. "Davey's grounds crew is proud of their innovative role in making Babcock Ranch a beautiful, safe community that is committed to environmentally friendly practices," said Mark Svozil, vice president and general manager, Commercial Landscape Services (CLS). "We believe our landscape management practices contributed to the community's environmental goals while maintaining Davey's commitment to providing the best client experience through beautiful landscape work." To earn the award, a dedicated crew from Davey CLS worked on site during early morning hours in order to limit disruptions to residents and visitors. That crew also utilized battery-powered equipment for all mowing, string trimming and pruning to reduce noise levels while maintaining the property's sustainability goals. Babcock Ranch is located on a nature preserve. The community's landscaping guidelines limit turf coverage to 30 percent and require the use of native, low-impact trees and shrubs for 75 percent of their landscaping. NALP represents an industry that employs nearly 1 million landscape, lawn care, irrigation and tree care professionals. Davey's Commercial Landscape Services is proud of the role it played in caring for the Babcock Ranch landscape. MISSION
