Huntersville, North Carolina 

At Tim Johnson Landscaping, we take immense pride in our ability to transform landscapes and exceed client expectations. One of our notable projects that showcases our expertise and dedication is the Forrestal Academy project completed back in 2014. This project was a new construction for a daycare center, requiring meticulous planning and execution to meet the high standards of a flagship business park.

Project Scope and Challenges Faced

The project at Forrestal Academy involved various services including grading, soil preparation, irrigation, plant installation, and sod installation. The Forrestal Academy, a prominent addition to the business park, needed a landscape that was not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing to create a welcoming environment for children and parents alike. Our team was entrusted with the task of creating a vibrant and sustainable landscape that aligned with the Academy's vision.

Challenges Faced

High Expectations from a Flagship Business Park

The project was situated in a high-profile business park, which demanded perfection in every aspect. Our team had to ensure that every detail, from the grading to the plant installation, was executed flawlessly. The high expectations meant that we had to deliver a landscape that was both beautiful and durable, reflecting the prestige of the business park.

Heat of Summer
The project timeline coincided with the peak of summer, presenting significant challenges in terms of maintaining plant health and ensuring the successful establishment of the sod. The intense heat required us to implement strategic irrigation schedules and choose plant species that could withstand the harsh conditions.

Execution and Success

Our approach began with comprehensive soil preparation, which is crucial for the long-term health of the plants and turf. We conducted thorough grading to ensure proper drainage and prevent any potential water-related issues. The irrigation system was meticulously designed and installed to provide efficient water distribution, critical for the survival of the new plantings in the summer heat.

The plant installation was carried out with precision, selecting a variety of species that not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal but were also resilient to the climate conditions. We chose sod that was suitable for the local environment, ensuring quick establishment and a lush, green appearance.

The Forrestal Academy project in 2014 remains a proud achievement at Tim Johnson Landscaping. It highlights our expertise in handling complex projects and our dedication to meeting and exceeding client expectations. The success of this project is a reflection of our team's hard work, strategic planning, and ability to overcome challenges, ensuring that the Academy's landscape continues to thrive beautifully.
