LOCATION: Scottsdale, Ariz.
COMPANY: LandCare
DETAILS: LandCare took over maintenance on this property in 2019 and has since provided several hardscape upgrades to the resort.
In this 2023 project, LandCare focused heavily on beautifying the entrance areas by adding hardscapes and palm trees to areas like roundabouts and medians. The centerpiece of this project was a cactus garden that included a 150-year-old saguaro cactus that stands more than 25 feet tall.
The cactus garden also features several smaller cacti and succulents and a walkable pathway for guests to get a closer look. LandCare has plans to install signs next to each plant for guests to learn more about the native cacti.
The contractor also provides maintenance for this site, including rose gardens, drought-tolerant plantings, trees, water features and turf areas.
LandCare won a silver award from the National Association of Landscape Professionals Awards of Excellence program for this project in both 2019 and 2023.
