HOW EAQ (FORMERLY E.A. QUINN) LANDSCAPING CAN HELP YOU REACH YOUR CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY GOALS

cdavis • April 9, 2019

We couple the latest technology with our landscaping expertise to form plans that not only help the environment, but also provide cost savings opportunities.

Below we outline some of the measures we are currently undertaking for corporate clients in Connecticut.


Lawn & Construction Debris Recycling: We remove all lawn debris from every property after every job, recycling 98 percent of material we collect.


Low-Emissions Vehicles: We are always incorporating new vehicles that meet new emissions requirements. All new diesel vehicles (and equipment) are Tier 4 compliant.


Electronic Equipment: Our crews are equipped with electric weed whackers, hedge trimmers and push mowers. The benefit is zero emissions and no dependence on fossil fuels.


Robotic Mowers: We are now rolling out the use of cutting-edge Robotic Mowers. They offer savings due to the lower labor cost as well as a decreased need for fertilization.


Fertilization: The Fertilizers we use require fewer applications, are temperature sensitive, and release nutrients over time. The result of implementing our fertilization program is green grass with high turf density, which helps keep weeds down, reduces insect damage and protects against disease.


Water Management: There are a range of technologies that we recommend and install to help our corporate clients conserve water while keeping turf and plants healthy. Some of our most often used conservation tools include: smart controllers; weather stations; pressure-regulating valves and heads; and backflow preventers.


Seed Mixes: We have identified several grass seed mixes that are less dependent on water and that require less mowing.


Green Features: We have helped design and install a number of “green features” for our corporate and commercial clients that add property value and benefit the environment. Some examples of these features are: green roofs, green walls and green facades.


Wetlands Management: Our extensive experience in developing and managing wetlands includes creating habitats to support insects, reptiles and fish as well as removing invasive species to protect natural wetland habitats.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.
