Case Construction Equipment and Sonsray Machinery provided a mid-sized excavator and two compact track loaders for the construction of a new outdoor landscape, edible garden and hardscape design by landscaping expert and TV host Ahmed Hassan. The project–an installation at the Aster Street Gardens transitional housing project in Escondido, Calif.–is the work of Hassan’s organization, Sustainable Heroes.
Sustainable Heroes is a freelance group of professionals including contractors, carpenters, landscapers, project managers, designers and more dedicated to bringing awareness to worthy causes and organizations through humanitarian and sustainability projects.
The equipment, a Case CX75C SR hydraulic excavator, and TR320 and TV380 compact track loaders, were used in the earthmoving phase of the project and assisted with the demolition of unwanted plant material and the placement and planting of new trees, shrubs and hardscaping materials.
“We’re inspired by the work Hassan and his team does, taking the craft and skill of landscaping and turning it into something that improves the lives of others,” says Jim Hasler, vice president, North America, Case. “What his team has done with Aster Gardens is remarkable, and we’re proud our equipment helped make it happen.”
