Bare spots marred the fairways, algae floated atop lake waters, and inconsistent mowing ruined course aesthetics. Worse, the club had just invested heavily in a new irrigation system, but nothing seemed to be helping get the turf — and the course — back in shape.

BrightView Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BV) (the “Company” or “BrightView”), the leading commercial landscaping services company in the United States, today reported unaudited results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended September 30, 2018.

Through comprehensive planning and sophisticated execution, the St Ives course — and course play — reached the level of quality that kept and drew members. At the same time, expenses for golf course maintenance decreased nearly 25 percent from 2008 levels.

Within months of BrightView on the job, the crew was re-energized and clear on priorities, strong golf maintenance leadership was established, and the maintenance equipment was upgraded. In addition, BrightView worked with the board to develop and communicate a Master Plan and Tree Management Plan that would take Canyon Lake into the future.

BrightView’s GROW was created with a mission of attracting, retaining, and promoting women within the company. As one of its first tasks, GROW surveyed the approximately 1,300 women at BrightView and learned that they overwhelmingly liked working for the company and more.

Palo Alto was looking to reduce costs for its two municipal golf courses and outsourced to BrightView. Though this, the city has a provider it can rely on for proactive communication and the day-to-day golf course maintenance, but a trusted partner who could help achieve long-term success.

In addition to improving your property’s appearance, mulch reduces weeds, stabilizes the soil, conserves water, and improves plant health. Many people do not know that mulch has insulating properties, making the spring and fall — when the soil isn’t too hot or cold — the best times to lay a fresh layer.

Conditions at the Lawrence Yacht and Country Club were bad, with slow speeds on the greens, turf damage, and some even a bare green. That all changed when BrightView was brought on board.

The Villages Golf & Country Club's management knew the course could greatly benefit from an upgrade to its 50-year-old irrigation system. At the same time, club management wanted to ensure the installation would be done right, wouldn't disrupt play, and the installation crew would take course nuances into consideration - and that's why they turned to BrightView.

The BrightView team that maintains the campus is now operating entirely with low-emission electric mowers and hand-held equipment. With each mower running an average of 300 hours per year, the team expects this will eliminate the amount of emissions equivalent to approximately 1,500 cars averaging 12,000 miles each year.
