<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Technical Approach <br /> <br />At Murray’s Landscape Maintenance & Horticultural Services, we are dedicated to <br />providing exceptional service and outstanding results on every job. Our slogan, "Southern <br />Service, Professional Results," refiects our commitment to quality and customer <br />satisfaction. In managing the maintenance of Orange County government properties, we <br />will provide comprehensive, professional services that not only meet but exceed <br />expectations. Our goal is to maintain a pristine and attractive environment at all properties <br />throughout the year. Below, we outline the speciflc strategies we will employ to achieve <br />these objectives: <br /> <br />Mowing Practices <br />Maintaining healthy, well-kept turf is a priority. To achieve this, we will perform 36-40 <br />mowing sessions per property annually, ensuring that the grass is consistently trimmed <br />and well-manicured. We recognize that certain areas may require more frequent attention, <br />particularly high-traffic zones or areas with heavy public usage. As a result, we will adjust <br />the mowing schedule as necessary to ensure all areas remain pristine and in optimal <br />condition. <br />In addition, to minimize potential damage and improve efficiency, all mowers will be <br />equipped with chute blockers. This equipment prevents grass clippings from being <br />discharged onto non-grassy areas, reducing the risk of damage to sidewalks, roadways, <br />and structures. It also ensures thorough cleanup and promotes a more efficient mowing <br />process. <br />For areas that experience frequent public activity (such as during community events like <br />Hog Day), we will utilize turf growth regulators. These specialized plant hormones help to <br />control shoot growth without harming the overall health of the turf. By slowing growth in <br />these areas, we can maintain an uninterrupted service schedule and preserve the <br />appearance of the lawn, even during peak usage times. <br /> <br />Agricultural Technology and Weed Control <br />We take a proactive approach to controlling weeds and promoting healthy landscapes. <br />In late February, we will apply granular pre-emergent herbicide to the landscape beds to <br />prevent weed growth for up to six months. This preventative measure ensures that the <br />beds remain weed-free, allowing our team to focus on other essential tasks, particularly <br />during the busy spring and summer seasons. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 16383371-90A7-4CD2-9978-5DD1BF086433
