Committed to creating a greener, more sustainable planet on Earth Day and every day, BrightView (NYSE: BV) – the nation’s leading commercial landscaping company – reaffirms its industry leadership by focusing on three key environmental priorities as it designs and maintains the best landscapes on Earth:

Greener Fleet: By deploying more battery-powered mowers and hand-held tools, as well as adding electric and hybrid vehicles, BrightView will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase use of renewable energy sources. Last year, BrightView invested in over 1,000 new pieces of electric equipment and added 400 hybrid or electric cars and trucks.
Water Conservation: With many regions experiencing drought conditions and local governments enacting water restrictions, BrightView offers superior irrigation management services to clients, including smart irrigation controllers, turf conversion, and xeriscaping to better ensure water efficiency and conservation. Xeriscaping, a landscaping technique that uses plants appropriate to the local climate, can reduce water use by 60 percent or more.
Ecosystem Preservation: Every year, BrightView plants tens of thousands of trees, shrubs, and grass as part of its best-in-class landscaping work. In 2022, BrightView partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 300,000 trees. These plantings help revitalize the ecosystem, while cleaning the air, filtering water, and sequestering carbon.
“As landscaping stewards, operating in an environmentally-friendly manner is the keystone to BrightView’s core business beliefs,” said Andrew Masterman, BrightView President and Chief Executive Officer. “We take great pride in setting the industry standard to ensure future generations benefit from our responsible way of how we serve our customers and communities where we live, work and play.”

The Randolph Golf Course opened in 1925, and the Star soon editorialized that it was to be “a place where everyone can go and enjoy 480 acres.”
“Picture in your mind a great park, shade trees, stretching green lawns, a park bench in a cool spot, the children enjoying the sunshine out of doors …”
Golf flourished. The “great park?” Not so much.
Randolph became one of America’s busiest municipal golf facilities. In 1958, the city approved a second 18 holes — now known as Dell Urich Golf Course — and by the 1990s Golf Digest magazine reported that the Randolph Golf Complex was No. 2 in America for rounds played per year.
The “park bench in a cool spot” idea was forgotten, overwhelmed by Tucson’s love for golf and its profitability.
Now, almost a century after the Randolph golf course opened, the City of Tucson is three months deep into a campaign to “reinvent and reimagine” the Randolph and Dell Urich golf courses.

It has hired a landscape architect and an urban planner. It has engaged special-interest groups — birdwatchers, skateboarders, disc golfers — to, among other things, “develop opportunities to create park space within the current golf course boundaries.”
The Big Item: a public walking path smack between the No. 1 hole at Randolph and No. 18 hole at Dell Urich, from Alvernon Way to Hi Corbett Field and Reid Park.
No word on whether hard hats will be sold or rented for the walk. Or whether “Quiet Please!” signs would be posted every 20 yards.
“The next step,” said City Parks and Recreation deputy director Greg Jackson, “is to conduct a more broad community survey online, listen to everybody, and then make our recommendations to the Mayor and City Council.”

The new homes at Lily at the Seasons showcase desirable design characteristics like spacious kitchens overlooking large great rooms, expansive bedroom suites with walk-in closets, ample storage and private outdoor living spaces. The community’s floor plans feature up to four bedrooms and three baths, and range in size from approximately 1,600 to 1,900 square feet. The master plan offers stunning mountain views as well as future amenities like a pool, children’s play area and sports courts. Additionally, Lily at the Seasons is zoned for the highly ranked Chino Valley Unified School District.
“Our new homes at Lily are situated within a highly desirable master-planned community in Chino, California, and convenient to Interstate 15 and Highways 60, 71 and 91. The community will feature several future amenities and is close to shopping, dining, entertainment and outdoor recreation,” said John Fenn, President of KB Home’s Inland Empire division. “As with other KB Home communities, Lily at the Seasons will offer home shoppers the opportunity to purchase a new KB home that can be personalized to reflect their lifestyle and needs.”
KB Home stands out from other homebuilders as the company gives homebuyers exceptional choice and control. KB Home starts by offering a wide variety of homes at an affordable price. From there, the builder gives buyers the ability to personalize their home by selecting from a wide range of design choices. The KB Home team works hand in hand with homeowners every step of the way, so they have a real partner in the process.
Every KB home is designed to be ENERGY STAR ® certified thanks to the quality construction techniques and materials utilized that ultimately deliver significant savings on utility bills compared to used homes. Additionally, all new KB homes are designed to deliver an enhanced indoor environment and include high performance ventilation systems, low- or zero-VOC products and other features guided by the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Indoor airPLUS standards.
The Lily at the Seasons sales office and model homes are open for walk-in visits and private in-person tours by appointment. Homebuyers also have the flexibility to arrange a live video tour with a sales counselor. Pricing begins from the mid $600,000s.
