EAQ (FORMERLY E.A. QUINN) UNVEILS OUTDOOR DISPLAY IN GLASTONBURY

cdavis • August 10, 2017

 

GLASTONBURY, CT – EAQ (formerly E.A. Quinn) Landscape Contracting, Inc. of Glastonbury is proud to announce the opening of a one-of-a-kind Outdoor Display at its 240 Commerce St. headquarters.

 

 

The Display offers a one-stop-shop for EAQ (formerly E.A. Quinn) customers to review material and product offerings.

 

 

“We’re really excited that our customers can now choose the landscaping elements that they need with a quick visit to our facility,” said Ed Quinn, owner of E.A. Quinn Landscaping. “We understand people are busy and driving to a paver or natural stone dealer isn’t always practical. In one visit to our display, you can select what’s right for your home. Our display is also open for customer visits day and night thanks to outdoor lighting.”

 

The 2,200-square-foot Display includes the following Outdoor Living features:

  • fire pit with a natural gas insert
  • outdoor fireplace
  • outdoor kitchen with operating grill and storage
  • pavilion
  • patio
  • sitting wall
  • pavers and natural stone
  • paver driveway
  • outdoor lighting

 

One of the toughest choices in any landscaping project is selecting between the various paver and natural stone options. Typically, a customer has to pick a hardscape element by looking in a catalogue or driving to a wholesaler. The EAQ (formerly E.A. Quinn) Outdoor Display makes the selection process much more convenient. Customers can also be sure they’ll get exactly what they want because they can see what the pavers or natural stone look like when installed.

 

To see the process of building the Outdoor Display, watch this time-lapse video. The Outdoor Display will also be featured in two CT Spotlight segments on NBC CT on Aug. 14 and Aug. 21. The CT Spotlight segments air during the 10 and 11 a.m. hours of the Today Show.

Commercial Property Irrigation Services for Healthy, Attractive Landscapes

August 12, 2026
Commercial property irrigation services manage how water reaches turf, trees, shrubs, and planting beds across business and institutional landscapes. Proper coverage supports plant health, creates a more consistent appearance, controls unnecessary water use, and protects the property’s long-term landscape investment. Property managers, facility teams, commercial owners, schools, municipalities and multi-site operators depend on irrigation systems to perform under changing weather and property conditions. A system must do more than turn on at a scheduled time. It must deliver the right amount of water to each part of the landscape without creating dry areas, flooding, runoff, or repeated overspray.

Commercial Tree and Shrub Care for Healthy, Safe, and Professional Properties

July 10, 2026
Commercial property management is a balancing act between curb appeal, safety, and long-term value. Buildings usually get the most attention, but the landscape, especially the trees and shrubs, function as the property's living infrastructure.  A well-maintained tree canopy or shrub line does more than look good. It protects the investment, reduces liability, and shapes the first impression tenants, customers, and visitors get before they ever step through the door.

Commercial Turf Services for Schools, Campuses, and Commercial Properties

May 18, 2026
Walk a campus or commercial property after a wet spring week and the turf usually tells the story fast. Bare areas near entrances, muddy tracks across open lawns, weed pressure along drives, and thin grass in high-traffic zones all point to bigger maintenance issues. Commercial turf services cover far more than mowing. A strong program protects appearance, supports grass health, improves safety, and helps turf recover from traffic, heat, storms, and winter stress. At EAQ Landscaping, we build turf programs around the full picture, not just the cut. This guide explains what commercial turf services should include, how service needs change by property type, and what to look for in a provider that can deliver reliable results season after season.

Landscape Compliance for Commercial Sites: Rules, Reviews, and Permit Control

March 25, 2026
Landscape compliance defines how commercial sites are planned and built under local and regional rules. It sets limits on grading, drainage, hardscape, structures, planting, and safety. Local oversight often involves multiple agencies, each reviewing a different part of the site and final plans. When these reviews are handled out of order, projects can slow, costs can rise, and approvals can stall. Proper landscape compliance management keeps plans aligned, reviews moving, and work cleared to proceed without interruption.

How CAD Drives Accuracy, Approvals, and Control in Commercial Landscaping

By EAQ • February 18, 2026
Computer based design turns site concepts into exact build plans before work starts. Every path, slope, pipe, and plant location is defined in one shared file, giving crews, inspectors, owners, plus towns the same view. On large commercial properties, this clarity cuts errors, limits rework, and keeps costs steady by aligning planning, field execution, and approvals from day one. At EAQ (formerly E.A. Quinn), designs become live job files. Crews load drawings on tablets, follow grades and layouts, and record any changes on site. Project leads send the same file to towns and owners, so approvals, installs, plus updates stay in sync.

The Integrated Commercial Landscaping Partner Advantage: Moving Beyond Maintenance

By EAQ • November 17, 2025
For property managers and business owners, the grounds are now a strategic asset impacting tenant retention, brand perception, and operational efficiency. Hiring separate contractors for mowing, irrigation, and enhancements no longer meets current demands. This outdated model creates communication gaps, conflicting priorities, and missed opportunities. The solution lies in replacing transactional services with a comprehensive partnership model. This piece explores how working with an integrated landscaping partner aligns outdoor management with business objectives and moves beyond basic upkeep to create measurable value.
