LOCATION: Scottsdale, Arizona.
COMPANY: LandCare
DETAILS: LandCare took over maintenance of this property in 2019 and has since made several landscaping improvements to the resort.
For this 2023 project, LandCare focused heavily on beautifying entrance areas by adding hardscapes and palm trees in areas such as roundabouts and medians. The centerpiece of this project was a cactus garden featuring a 150-year-old saguaro cactus that stands more than 25 feet tall.
The cactus garden also features several smaller cacti and succulents, as well as a walkable path for guests to take a closer look. LandCare plans to place signs next to each plant so guests can learn more about the native cacti.
The contractor will also be responsible for the maintenance of this site, including rose gardens, drought-tolerant plantings, trees, water features and lawns.
LandCare won a silver award from the National Association of Landscape Professionals Awards of Excellence program for this project in 2019 and 2023.
