Villa Rosa - 2019 Silver Award Winner

Our first Silver Award winner from the 2019 Landscape Awards of Excellence is Villa Rosa.

We've provided comprehensive landscape management services to this thriving homeowner association for nearly a decade, and it is an honor for us to continue our service partnership into a new decade by bringing national recognition to the community.

Below is the award entry narrative summary and photos that were submitted of the project:

Villa Rosa is an established planned community development, approximately a half-hour north of Tampa, Florida. The Villa Rosa Homeowners Association's goal is to maintain a beautiful and well-kept landscape for its residents. Despite newer communities being developed in the area, residents appreciate that the association's efforts to maintain the community's common areas at a high standard have kept home resale values high for the past decade.

As with all large scale communities in the area, Villa Rosa's HOA is challenged to manage its water use responsibly. The original developer installed system includes more than 100 zones, connected to the area's municipal reclaimed water source. As the community has aged, the system has begun showing wear. Additionally, the aesthetic tastes of the community's common areas have changed over the years.

Originally, the landscape plan was intentionally minimal and natural. But as newer developments sprang up around Villa Rosa, the community has added landscape features like seasonal color beds and additional ornamental palms to the landscape.

 

This includes a recent renovation of the community's main entrance, which now features colorful annual displays around monument signage, palms, and new water features.

Kudos and congratulations to our Tampa commercial landscape maintenance team for their work on this Silver award-winning project!
