At The Greenery, Inc., we believe landscaping is about more than just creating beautiful spaces – it’s about cultivating strong, vibrant communities. Our commitment to people is reflected not only in the work we do every day but also in the ways we give back to the neighborhoods, schools, and organizations that make the Lowcountry and beyond so special.

Our teams have been honored to support a wide variety of events and initiatives across all the regions we serve.

Supporting Local Traditions & Events
From ensuring the grounds were festival-ready for the Annual Beaufort Water Festival to providing fresh florals for the Hilton Head International Piano Competition, our crews proudly help set the stage for the community events that bring people together. In addition, for over 50 years we have partnered with the Heritage Golf Tournament on Hilton Head – one of the biggest PGA events of the season. 

Giving Back Through Service
Service has always been at the heart of our mission. This year, our Beaufort Enhancement team completed a full landscape installation for the Lowcountry Food Bank in Yemassee, enhancing their space so they can better serve neighbors in need. 

Investing in future generations is equally important to us. This year, our Savannah branch partnered with Xcel Strategies Inc. Summer Camp, where we introduced students to the possibilities of a career in the green industry — from autonomous mowers to sustainable landscaping technologies. We were thrilled to inspire the next generation of landscape leaders!

Promoting Wellness & Education
Our teams were proud to sponsor and participate in the Omni Firecracker 5K on Amelia Island, raising funds for YMCA community programs, and the Run Wild 5K in Yulee, FL, which benefited the Boys & Girls Club of Nassau County. 

We also supported Volunteers in Medicine Hilton Head Island through the 31st Annual William P. Stevens Jr. Golf Outing, which raised nearly $80,000 to provide free medical care for underserved families. We also joined the ALS Amelia Island Golf Classic, standing alongside others in the fight for a cure.

Caring for the Planet & Each Other
Our crews celebrated Earth Day at Tanger Outlets in Savannah and Daytona Beach this year, sharing ways we can all contribute to a cleaner, healthier planet. And when Hurricane Helene struck upstate South Carolina, our Greenery family came together for clean-up efforts, showing resilience, teamwork, and compassion when it mattered most.

Building Stronger Communities Together
We are also proud to support organizations like Take Stock in Children, Inc., which provides mentors and scholarships to low-income students in Florida. These partnerships align with our belief that strong communities grow from opportunity, care, and connection.

Supporting Local Organizations Year-Round
Beyond individual projects and events, The Greenery, Inc. is proud to support dozens of community organizations through sponsorships and participation. From youth programs like the Boys & Girls Club of Hilton Head Island and educational initiatives such as the Hilton Head Home Builders Association Education Fund to cultural partners like the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra and the Italian American Club of Hilton Head Festival, we are honored to give back in ways that strengthen the fabric of our community. Our involvement also extends to organizations that protect our environment and preserve our region’s beauty — including the Coastal Conservation League, Palmetto Bluff Conservancy, and The Outside Foundation — as well as nonprofits dedicated to service and outreach like the Deep Well Project, Operation Patriots FOB, Neighborhood Outreach Connection, and Rotary Club of Hilton Head. Whether supporting local sports in Sun City, standing alongside the Folds of Honor Foundation, or partnering with the Hilton Head Humane Association, we remain committed to making a difference wherever we can.

At The Greenery, Inc., we’re more than landscapers – we’re neighbors, partners, and advocates for the places we call home. Whether it’s rolling up our sleeves to prepare for a festival, investing in education, or lending a hand in times of need, we remain committed to cultivating communities as vibrant as the landscapes we maintain.

Together, we’re growing something greater.

The Greenery, Inc. recently brought together team members from our many branches across the Southeast for a company-wide Town Hall. It was a day dedicated to connection, celebration, and exciting updates about where we’re headed next. Taking place at the beautiful Sun City community in Hardeeville, South Carolina, the event offered a great opportunity to unite our growing company and reflect on another successful season of cultivating both beautiful landscapes and strong relationships.

The Town Hall truly captured what The Greenery, Inc. is all about – our people. From Hilton Head and Savannah to Charleston, Greenville, Jacksonville, and beyond, employees from every branch came together under one roof. The energy in the room spoke volumes about the pride, teamwork, and dedication that drive our success every day.

Company leaders shared updates on new growth initiatives, community partnerships, and upcoming projects that will help us continue enhancing the beauty and sustainability of the places we serve across the Southeast. The event also gave us a chance to recognize team members for their years of service and outstanding contributions. Another great reminder that The Greenery’s continued success is deeply rooted in its people.

Reflecting on the gathering, Jim Van Dijk, Director of Client Services at The Greenery, Inc., shared:

“Each year our Town Hall is a significant reminder of what makes The Greenery special. Every person here plays a part in our story. When we come together like this, it reinforces that our strength isn’t just in the work we do…it’s in the people who do it.”

As The Greenery, Inc. continues to grow and thrive, we remain focused on enhancing people’s lives through beautiful landscape, investing in our team members, and building greener, more vibrant communities together.

As the seasons shift, The Greenery, Inc. is hard at work preparing the commercial properties we maintain across the Southeast for cooler weather and the months ahead. While our region doesn’t see the harsh winters of the north, fall is an important time to refresh landscapes, protect plant material, and set the stage for a strong, healthy spring. 

Here’s a look at what our crews will be tackling on your properties this season:

1. Refreshing Seasonal Color
We’ll be swapping out tired summer annuals for vibrant fall plantings. Expect to see colorful pansies, violas, ornamental kale, and other cool-weather favorites that keep entrances and high-visibility areas looking bright and welcoming well into winter.

2. Aerating and Overseeding Turf
Our turf crews will be aerating compacted soil to improve root health and overseeding thin areas so your lawns stay lush and green. This essential step helps turf recover from summer stress and prepares it for a healthy growing season.

3. Applying Fall Fertilization
We’ll be applying fertilizer that gives turf and plants the nutrients they need to strengthen roots, boost resilience, and maintain vitality through cooler months. This helps ensure greener, healthier landscapes come spring.

4. Inspecting and Adjusting Irrigation Systems
Our irrigation specialists will be checking systems for leaks, clogs, and inefficiencies. We’ll also adjust run times to match fall’s cooler temperatures and increased rainfall, conserving resources while keeping your landscapes properly hydrated.

5. Pruning Shrubs and Trees
Our crews will be pruning shrubs and trees to remove deadwood, shape plant material, and reduce hazards around walkways and parking areas. This not only improves plant health but also ensures your property maintains a neat, professional appearance.

6. Mulching for Protection and Curb Appeal
We’ll be adding fresh mulch where needed to retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and give beds a clean, polished look. It’s a simple enhancement that provides big benefits for both aesthetics and plant health.

Growing Something Greater Together
At The Greenery, Inc., we don’t just maintain landscapes — we care for them as if they were our own. This fall, our crews will be working hard across the Southeast to ensure the properties we manage remain safe, attractive, and thriving.

No matter the size or complexity of the project, we take pride in guiding it through every phase – from conception and design budgeting to installation and ultimately, transition into long-term property management with our expert maintenance teams.

Building a Strong Foundation
While the finishing touches are what people see, the groundwork is where the true success of a landscape begins. Soil preparation, proper amendments, and expert planting techniques are vital to establishing a healthy, sustainable environment. These steps may go unnoticed, but they are absolutely essential – and it’s where our teams at The Greenery, Inc. excel.

Quality Planting from Trusted Sources
Planting is the most visible and vibrant part of any landscape. With over 50 years serving the Southeast, The Greenery, Inc. has cultivated long-standing relationships with growers and nurseries across the region. These partnerships allow us to source high-quality trees, shrubs, and plants – at competitive prices – even in challenging markets. We even maintain our own tree stock to ensure availability and consistency on tight timelines.

Our services go beyond plants and irrigation. The Greenery, Inc. offers high-quality hardscape construction, providing clients with a true turnkey experience. From unit paving and site furnishings to synthetic surfaces and specialty elements, we bring both craftsmanship and versatility to every project.

As urban developments are popping up across the Southeast, rooftop gardens and amenity spaces are becoming essential elements in modern design. The Greenery, Inc. is proud to offer specialized green roof services, helping clients bring green space to even the most limited footprints – without sacrificing beauty or function.

005030From budgeting and pre-construction planning to installation and maintenance, our Construction Landscape team provides unmatched value at every stage. We work collaboratively with clients, contractors, and designers to ensure the success of each project.

July is not just the peak of summer heat – it’s also Smart Irrigation Month, a nationwide initiative from the Irrigation Association dedicated to raising awareness about water-efficient technologies and practices. At The Greenery, Inc., we are proud to support this important movement by offering cutting-edge smart irrigation solutions that help to conserve water, reduce costs, and maintain beautiful, healthy landscapes all year long.

Why Smart Irrigation Matters
Water is one of our planet’s most precious resources. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as much as 50% of outdoor water use is wasted due to overwatering, inefficient systems, and evaporation. That’s where smart irrigation systems come in. These intelligent systems use real-time weather data, soil moisture sensors, and predictive analytics to water landscapes only when needed – no more, no less.

Smart irrigation isn’t just about turning off the sprinklers when it rains. It’s about using advanced technology to understand the environment and tailor watering schedules dynamically. A sunny July afternoon in South Carolina might call for a completely different watering plan than a cool, cloudy morning in November. Smart systems adapt to those variables in real time.

The Greenery, Inc. Difference
Our team of experienced irrigation technicians at The Greenery, Inc. specializes in designing, installing, and managing advanced smart irrigation systems tailored to the needs of your property. Whether your site requires a handful of irrigation zones or dozens, we provide scalable, reliable solutions backed by industry-leading expertise.

We work with top-tier irrigation technologies, including:

• Weathermatic
• Toro Sentinel
• Rain Bird Central Control
• Hunter Hydrawise

These systems go beyond basic timers. They include features like predictive weather adjustments, real-time rainfall detection, flow sensors that detect leaks, and even wireless valve controls. The result? Smarter watering that saves water, lowers your utility bills, and improves landscape health.

Benefits of Smart Irrigation
Here’s what makes smart irrigation a smart investment:

• Water Conservation: Systems use climate and soil data to optimize watering schedules and avoid waste.
• Cost Savings: Less water use equals lower utility bills – especially during peak irrigation months like July.
• Healthier Landscapes: Proper hydration leads to stronger root systems and greener, more resilient plants.
• Convenience: Remote access, real-time alerts, and automated scheduling make managing your system easier than ever.
• Fewer Repairs: Leak detection and system monitoring help prevent costly water damage and wasted resources.

Our Commitment to Smarter Water Use
At The Greenery, Inc., we don’t just install irrigation systems – we actively manage them. Our technicians perform routine audits, track water usage, adjust settings seasonally, and create customized water management programs to meet your goals. Whether we’re handling one controller or one thousand, we do it quickly, affordably, and efficiently.

As temperatures rise this summer, take action to make your property more sustainable. Smart irrigation is more than just good technology – it’s a commitment to smarter water use, better landscapes, and a greener future.

Contact us today to see how The Greenery, Inc. can help your commercial landscape property embrace Smart Irrigation Month.

At The Greenery, Inc. safety isn’t just a once-a-year conversation – it’s a commitment we live out every day. But during National Safety Month this June, we take an extra moment to spotlight the safety principles that are woven into everything we do. From our team members in the field to the clients and communities we serve, safety is always our highest priority.

Whether it’s a resort property, a corporate campus, or a busy retail center, commercial property owners have a responsibility to ensure their landscapes are not only beautiful but also safe, accessible, and welcoming. That’s where The Greenery, Inc. comes in. Our team delivers landscape enhancements that add visual impact and support the safety and comfort of everyone who steps onto your property. Safety is something we focus on day in and day out.

Putting Safety First

While stunning lawns and pristine flower beds are what people notice first, it’s the behind-the-scenes safety practices that ensure everything runs smoothly and safely. 

At The Greenery, Inc., we believe that safety starts with education and consistency. That’s why every week, our crews attend Safety Meetings led by Jerry Ashmore, Director of Workforce Development and Safety, and Richard Berthiaume, Safety Manager. These sessions cover real-world scenarios and practical strategies to help our team work safely and confidently.

Topics include:

• Heat illness prevention (especially important in the summer months!)
• Storm preparedness and response
• Preventing lifting injuries
• Mowing near water’s edge or on slopes
• Recognizing and avoiding insect stings
• Staying safe in cold weather conditions
• Motor vehicle and trailer safety
• Working around wildlife- including alligators
• Wearing protective gear
• Proper transport of equipment and materials
• Understanding the dangers of energy drinks on the job

Each meeting empowers our employees to stay informed, vigilant, and proactive about keeping safety at the forefront of all that they do.

Safety That Protects Your People and Property

Not only do we learn about safety measures. We put this knowledge into practice on every property we serve. We strive to give our property owners the peace of mind knowing their commercial landscape is not only inviting but also risk-free. Uneven pathways, poorly placed irrigation lines, or untrimmed foliage can create potential hazards. Through thoughtful design and meticulous maintenance, The Greenery, Inc. helps our clients enhance curb appeal while reducing liability at the same time.

From smart drainage solutions that prevent slippery walkways to precise mowing patterns that reduce trip hazards, The Greenery, Inc. treats the properties we maintain like our own. And because our team is trained to work safely around both natural and manmade challenges, we help keep tenants, customers, and visitors protected at every step.

“At The Greenery, Inc., safety is more than a priority – it’s a core value. National Safety Month is a reminder that protecting our team, our clients, and our communities is daily and intentional commitment,” Jerry Ashmore, Director of Workforce Development and Safety.

As we honor National Safety Month, we invite you to look beyond the blooms and into the backbone of what makes a landscape exceptional. Safety isn’t just a feature – it’s a foundation. And with The Greenery, Inc. that foundation is solid.

At one of Hilton Head Island’s most traveled intersections, where William Hilton Parkway meets Squire Pope Road, two majestic oak trees have stood watch for centuries. These towering giants, estimated to be between 400 and 500 years old, are among the oldest living trees on the Island. And now, thanks to a transformative beautification project, they’ve been elevated to their rightful place as a stunning natural landmark welcoming everyone who enters the Island.

This spring, The Greenery, Inc. was honored to work with the Town of Hilton Head Island on the Oak Trees Beautification Project, a thoughtful effort to showcase the natural and historic significance of these trees while creating a scenic and serene space at the Island’s gateway.

Previously hidden by thick underbrush, these iconic oaks were easy to overlook – even though thousands of visitors and locals passed by daily. The Town of Hilton Head took the lead by clearing the surrounding land, revealing the trees in all their grandeur and setting the stage for what would become a pocket park and visual centerpiece.

Designing a Welcoming Space

Under the guidance of The Greenery, Inc.’s landscape architect, Todd Parrott, our team worked closely with the Town to bring this project to life over the course of two weeks – adapting and refining designs onsite to ensure the result was the perfect symbol of Lowcountry serenity. Key features of the project include:

• Dramatic uplighting to highlight the scale and beauty of the ancient oaks, both day and night.
• A heart-shaped, pervious pathway, extended from the west side of William Hilton Parkway into the site, constructed with natural materials to blend seamlessly with the environment.
• Native landscaping, designed to complement the Lowcountry ecosystem while enhancing the park’s visual appeal.
• Brick columns with a rail fence, forming a tasteful perimeter that both defines and protects the space.

A Gateway with Purpose

The revitalized site not only protects and elevates two of the Island’s most historic natural assets, but it also provides a peaceful, welcoming pause point for those coming onto the Island. The park now offers a quiet moment to appreciate the Island’s natural history, thoughtful design, and enduring charm.

The Greenery, Inc. is proud to have played a role in this transformative project. It was truly a team effort, with our commercial landscape crew, dedicated subcontractors, and the Town of Hilton Head working hand-in-hand to bring this vision to life.

So the next time you pass the intersection of William Hilton Parkway and Squire Pope Road, take a look – and take a moment. Those towering oaks are more than just trees. They’re a living welcome to Hilton Head Island opening their arms wide to greet all who journey to our little piece of paradise.

When spectators walk the breathtaking fairways of Harbour Town Golf Links during the RBC Heritage each year, they’re greeted by more than world-class golf—they’re immersed in the charm and natural beauty of the Lowcountry. But few realize the tireless effort and detailed planning that goes into creating this iconic setting. For over 50 years, The Greenery, Inc. has proudly served as an ambassador of the Lowcountry, providing expert landscaping services at Sea Pines Resort and helping shape the backdrop of South Carolina’s most beloved golf tournament.

A Longstanding Partnership with the RBC Heritage

Since the Heritage’s early days, The Greenery, Inc. has played a vital role in its success. Our crews work behind the scenes, maintaining the expansive grounds of Sea Pines Resort and Harbour Town Golf Links—the very landscapes that have become synonymous with the tournament. From flower beds to fairways, every detail is meticulously managed to reflect the beauty of the Lowcountry – welcoming thousands of locals and visitors alike.

Heritage Week: A 24/7 Operation

Most fans see the beauty—but not the 100+ hours of labor The Greenery, Inc. crews put in before the first tee-off. Preparation begins long before April. In fact, crews monitor the weather and plan floral designs for Heritage Week 8 to 9 months in advance to ensure every bloom is timed to perfection. 

And with the PGA Tour’s strict watering rules during the tournament, The Greenery team must hand-water each flower on the course. It’s a level of detail and commitment few can imagine.

Once tournament week arrives, the crew’s days begin before sunrise and often stretch until 2 a.m., handling everything from landscaping and cleaning to replanting and watering.

The Geraniums: A Story of Color and Care

No flower is more iconic to the RBC Heritage than the red geraniums that accent the areas around the course. What many don’t know is that these vibrant blooms are grown in South Carolina specifically for the event. Each year, The Greenery, Inc. plants over 3,000 geraniums and more than 5,000 additional plants in a very tight window leading up to the tournament.

In recent years, The Greenery, Inc. also had to adapt to changing TV technology—when HD and 4K screens made deep red blooms appear dull and less vibrant, our team worked tirelessly to find a new geranium variety that would pop on camera while still thriving in the coastal climate.

Crafting a Championship Backdrop

Every morning and evening once the tournament begins, crews inspect and tidy up the landscaping, replace flowers and keep everything picture-perfect for thousands of spectators—and millions more watching from home.

The Greenery, Inc.’s dedication to creating pristine landscaping has helped make the RBC Heritage not only a premier PGA Tour event but a celebration of Southern hospitality and natural beauty.

At The Greenery, Inc. we’re honored to be a part of this longstanding Lowcountry tradition. For over half a century, our partnership with the Heritage has been rooted in pride, precision, and passion for our craft. From hand-watering flowers under the stars to planting thousands of blooms that create a pop of color around the course, we’re proud to play a part in making the RBC Heritage a truly unforgettable experience.

At The Greenery, Inc., we are proud to honor and celebrate the incredible women who have played an essential role in shaping our company and the landscaping industry at large for 52 years. This Women’s History Month, we take a moment to highlight the powerful women who bring creativity, expertise, and leadership to every aspect of our work.

The landscaping industry in the United States is made up of around 1 million individuals, yet women represent a only around 8-10% workforce. At The Greenery, Inc., we are proud to have more than 70 women contributing their skills and knowledge across various departments daily. Women are making a difference throughout The Greenery, Inc. at all levels in our corporation from horticulturalists, in-the-field landscape services, business development, administration and executive level leadership.  These women not only bring their passion for nature and design but also create lasting impacts on their teams and the clients they serve.

Here are just a few voices from The Greenery, Inc. that reflect the unique and empowering experiences of women in this ever-evolving field:

Deirdre Froelich, Business Developer

Deidre has flourished in her role as Business Developer at The Greenery, Inc. She loves being involved and representing The Greenery, Inc. in various community events across her territory in Savannah, Georgia. Not only is she giving back to the community, but Deirdre is also building lasting connections with clients and other colleagues in the green industry. 

“Being a woman in the landscape industry has taught me that success is rooted in determination and collaboration,” share Dee. “At The Greenery, Inc., we thrive by embracing innovation and cultivating strong relationships. This Women’s History Month, I celebrate the women who inspire progress, break barriers, and help our industry grow, one project at a time. I’m proud to work alongside so many incredible women at The Greenery!” 

Holly Haakerson, CRM on Hilton Head Island

Holly’s journey with The Greenery, Inc. is a beautiful example of how the landscaping industry can empower women to grow professionally. “This position has been evolving since the day I started,” Holly says. “I have been given the opportunity and freedom to make it an incredible career. Not only does this position enable creativity and growth as a horticulturist, but it also opens up conversations with locals, inviting empowerment and responsibility. I treat each client as if they were my own neighbor asking a friend for guidance.”

For Holly, being a woman in the green industry is about more than just plants – it’s about building connections and embracing nature’s evolving beauty. “Being a woman in the Green industry means I get to embrace my creativity, embellish my love for nature, and build relationships with strangers every day. Some projects begin with a glass of iced tea on the back deck, others with a casual conversation on the porch swing or a walk around a 40-year-old property that holds more memories than the heart can measure. Sometimes I must remind myself, this is not my vision. It’s someone’s home, vacation getaway, or a family’s estate for generations.”

Andrea Van Dijk, Accountant Manager

Andrea Van Dijk’s story is a testament to the long-term growth opportunities at The Greenery. Starting her career almost 20 years ago in the Garden Center, Andrea’s dedication and hard work have led her to her current role as Accountant Manager. “I have learned that dedication, hard work, and loyalty provide opportunities to succeed within our company.  The Greenery wants to see people grow!”

Andrea’s journey is a reminder of the importance of hard work, talent and perseverance, and how those values can provide promotion and career success.

Stacy Kraus, Business Developer

Stacy, who has found her place as a Business Developer at The Greenery, Inc. shares her experience as a woman in a male-dominated industry. “As a woman working in a predominantly male industry, I have found my time at The Greenery to be very supportive and welcoming. I am surrounded by great teammates and leaders every day.  We are all working as one – ‘speaking the same language.’ The Greenery definitely supports my drive and willingness to grow – which is so important in my career!”

Stacy’s admiration for the supportive culture at The Greenery shines through in her words about her manager, Melissa Brock: “If you know me, you know I believe The Greenery is the best company I’ve ever worked for – and my boss, Melissa Brock, is the best manager I’ve ever worked with! It truly inspires me to be supported by Melissa and other great women on my team, and throughout our company!”

Melissa Brock, Director of Business Development

Melissa Brock, who leads our Business Development team, reflects on how her role at The Greenery has shaped her career. “I have learned that a ‘job’ can be a career path. The Greenery has been very supportive in my professional growth, not only in the landscape industry but also in serving our community.”

As a leader in the company, Melissa’s commitment to supporting the team and encouraging professional growth is an inspiration to many. She embodies what it means to lead with empathy and vision.

Ruthie Edwards, the First Lady of The Greenery, Inc. 

Ruthie Edwards is a visionary who transformed both her community and the landscape industry on Hilton Head Island. In the early 1970s, Ruthie, alongside her husband Berry, moved their family to the island and began their journey with a landscaping business that grew into one of the most respected companies in the southeast – The Greenery, Inc.

But Ruthie’s impact extends beyond business. In 1973, while driving through South Carolina, she discovered a historic church for sale in Ridgeland. Despite its decaying state, Ruthie saw its potential and was captivated by its rich history. She and her family purchased and relocated the church to Hilton Head (no small feat!) where it would serve as the foundation of their growing business. Thanks to Ruthie’s perseverance, this act of preservation ensured that the church’s 142-year-old story lived on.

Through Ruthie’s determination, the church found a new life, becoming The Greenery’s Antiques & Garden Collectibles Shop, where visitors today are still drawn to its tranquil, historic charm.

Ruthie’s legacy is not only in the success she built but in her commitment to preserving the past, honoring history, and creating something lasting for future generations.

Empowering Women in Landscaping

At The Greenery, Inc., we believe in creating an environment where every team member, regardless of gender, has the opportunity to thrive. Our commitment to professional development, creativity, and collaboration has fostered an atmosphere where women can excel, innovate, and lead with confidence.

As we celebrate Women’s History Month, we want to acknowledge the vital contributions of the women of The Greenery, Inc. From designing beautiful landscapes to managing operations and finances, these women inspire and motivate us every day. We are proud to have them as part of our team and look forward to continuing to empower women in our industry for years to come.

To all the women at The Greenery, Inc., thank you for your passion, dedication, and hard work. 

This past summer, The Greenery, Inc. had the exciting opportunity to collaborate with an international partner on a groundbreaking project at the Hyundai Mobis site in Bryan County, Georgia. This was no ordinary venture. It was a project that exemplified the power of true collaboration and marked a significant milestone for our company: our first international-level partnership.

The Hyundai Mobis project was an extraordinary undertaking that showcased the expertise and dedication of our team. Some of the key highlights that made this collaboration a success included:

• Planting the First Tree: One of the most significant milestones for The Greenery, Inc. was planting the first tree on the entire Meta site. We were proud to be the first to complete our portion of the project, setting the tone for the rest of the work to follow.
  
• Extensive Site Work: Our team was responsible for an extensive range of tasks, including site work, landscape plantings, irrigation, and hardscaping. We worked on an expansive area spanning 3.5 million square feet of turf, 1 million square feet of irrigation coverage, and planted 500 hand-selected trees to enhance the site’s aesthetic and environmental impact.
  
• Massive Irrigation System: A critical aspect of the project was ensuring the site was well-irrigated. A total of 80,000 linear feet of irrigation pipe was laid, ensuring that the landscaping would thrive in the months and years to come.
  
• A Dedicated Team: Though our team was small—comprising of just our Director, one branch manager, three project managers, and 30 dedicated team members—we worked tirelessly to meet tight deadlines while ensuring that the highest quality standards were upheld throughout the project.

Teamwork and Collaboration at Its Best
This project was part of the larger Savannah Joint Development Agreement (JDA), which spans across Bryan, Bulloch, and Effingham counties. The success of the Hyundai Mobis project was due in large part to the seamless teamwork between The Greenery, Inc. and our Hyundai Engineering partners. From the initial stages of installation to transitioning the project to full-term maintenance, our collaboration has been a shining example of how partnerships can lead to great achievements.

As we wrapped up the initial install and transitioned the site to long-term maintenance, we couldn’t be more proud of our team’s efforts. The Greenery, Inc. is committed to ensuring that the Hyundai Mobis site remains well-maintained, continuing to enhance its landscaping and irrigation systems for years to come.

Looking Forward: More Opportunities for Growth
The experience on the Hyundai Mobis project has reinforced our commitment to delivering exceptional results. We are excited about future opportunities to collaborate on similar ventures and expand our reach.

If you’re looking for a trusted partner for your next industrial landscaping project, look no further. The Greenery, Inc. delivers partnership, value, and success every step of the way.
