Remaking California’s Historic Redlands Country Club jim_brinckman Dec 16, 2025 Remaking California’s Historic Redlands Country Club This is BrightView: Golf Maintenance

A before (left) and after (right) that shows BrightView's touch at the historic Redlands Country Club in Redlands, Calif.

It started as an idea in 1896 between 30 men.

Almost 150 years later, that idea continues to flourish as Redlands Country Club, one of California’s most uniquely designed golf courses.

But somewhere in the club’s rich history, the course lost its shine. The fairways were plagued by weeds, greens and tees became stressed, and the overall playing conditions and level of detail had lost its luster.

Members wanted their course to ascend to where it once was.

They called BrightView.

“In order to get our course to where it needed to be, we needed an expert. We turned to BrightView,” said Chris Wilson, Golf Chair – Redlands Country Club. “BrightView listened. They listened to our issues and developed a plan to meet our needs. They are a valued partner and do what they say they’re going to do. But the best part of our partnership is working with their employees who are out on the course every day. They are tremendously professional.”

One of the most notable endorsements of the course’s turnaround came from former PGA Tour two-time major winner, Ryder Cup Captain, and current Redlands Country Club member, Dave Stockton.

“The BrightView team delivered improvements that have exceeded all expectations,” Stockton said. “I truly believe hiring BrightView has been a pivotal moment for Redlands Country Club.”

“We are very proud of our legacy within the golf industry,” said Terry McGuire, Vice President, BrightView Golf. “Our client/partner focus is our North Star and this is just one more example of what our industry experts and passionate team of nearly 80 Golf Course Superintendents can do to revitalize such a valuable asset.”

André Le Nôtre, born in Paris on March 12, 1613, is widely regarded as one of the most influential landscape architects in history. Best known for shaping the iconic gardens of Versailles, he transformed the principles of perspective, symmetry, and long-view design into an entirely new language that would influence urban planning and landscape architecture for centuries.

Le Nôtre came from a line of royal gardeners, and his early environment at the Tuileries shaped his artistic foundation. He studied optics and perspective under painter François Vouet, giving him a rare ability to manipulate space with precision. After beginning his career, he succeeded his father as head gardener of the Tuileries, where he introduced sweeping perspectives that hinted at his grand visions to come.

His breakthrough arrived with the estate of Vaux-le-Vicomte, where he combined long axes, masterful water engineering, and carefully orchestrated visual effects to create a landscape unlike anything France had seen. The accolades from this project caught the attention of King Louis XIV, who summoned him to undertake the monumental redesign of Versailles.

At Versailles, Le Nôtre transformed uneven, muddy wetlands into a vast, orchestrated world of light, shadow, and geometry. He extended the palace’s central axis into the horizon, carved out groves hidden behind twisted paths, balanced strict symmetry with moments of surprise, and shaped water features that magnified the scale of the grounds. The result became the pinnacle of French garden design and a blueprint for modern urban planning, inspiring cities and designers across Europe and even influencing the early plan of Washington, D.C.

Beyond Versailles, Le Nôtre left lasting designs at Saint-Cloud, Sceaux, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Fontainebleau, the Trianon, and countless other grand estates. Louis XIV appointed him Controller General of Buildings and stayed close until his passing on Sept. 15, 1700, at 87 years old.

Centuries later, Le Nôtre’s legacy still guides our industry. His belief that landscapes should be purposeful, inspiring, and rooted in human experience mirrors the approach BrightView takes today. Whether planning dynamic outdoor environments or maintaining the spaces people rely on every day, we continue to uphold the same commitment to thoughtful design and lasting impact that defined his work.

As we innovate, embrace sustainable approaches, and shape the green spaces of tomorrow, the spirit of visionaries like Le Nôtre reminds us that truly great landscapes endure far beyond their time.

Beware of Bark Beetles

Ellie_Lagere — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Beware of Bark Beetles Ellie_Lagere Dec 01, 2025 Beware of Bark Beetles How to Prevent This Tough Pest

Tree Care

Bark beetles have the unique (dis)honor of being one of the most destructive forest pests in the world. Small but mighty, they work in teams to attack your most valuable trees. And while they might be hard to see, the damage is hard to miss. Here’s what you need to know to prevent a band of these miniature wrecking balls from taking up residence on your property.

Bark beetles burrow into the trunk of a pine tree, leaving behind telltale tunnels that disrupt the tree’s ability to transport nutrients—an alarming sign of infestation and forest health decline

How to Identify the Bark Beetle

Get out your magnifying glass, because the average bark beetle is no bigger than the head of a match. Worse, you may have trouble telling them apart unless you’re an entomologist. The University of California estimates there are more than 600 species in the United States and many look similar. Generally, bark beetles measure roughly 1/8” long, have short antennae, and are red, brown, or black in color. In the larvae stage, they’re white grubs with brown heads.

Are Your Trees at Risk?

Bark beetles have a wide range of tastes. Some will attack a variety of tree species, while others prefer specific types. Pine, spruce, fir, and cedar are popular targets, but with so many different types of bark beetles, that list only scratches the surface. One thing is for certain: stressed trees are always more susceptible. Their weakened defenses make it difficult to fight off the beetles’ attack, especially as more arrive and colonize the tree.

What Do Bark Beetles Do?

Individually bark beetles can’t cause much damage, but in large numbers, they quickly become a lethal force. Bark beetles send out pioneer beetles like scouts to search for weakened trees that would serve as a good host. When they find one, they bore into the bark and emit a chemical signal that attracts their fellow bark beetles to the site. Once they arrive, they, too, bore into the tree, creating a series of chambers to lay eggs. After the eggs hatch, the larvae feed outward, girdling the tree and impairing nutrient transport. Worse, many beetles carry a fungus that inhibits the tree’s water uptake, further hastening the host’s demise.

What are the Signs of Bark Beetle Infestation?

One of the most prominent signs of bark beetle infestation is crown fading. This can appear as light-green, yellow, brown, or even red leaves. In some cases, the discoloration may be delayed by cold weather, meaning an attack that happens in the fall may not be apparent until the following summer.

You may also notice frass, which is the excrement the beetles leave in their wake. It looks a lot like sawdust and will be present around the crevices where the beetles entered. Pitch tubes are also a telling sign of distress. These resin deposits are produced by the tree as an attempt to defend against invasion. And finally, if you notice exit holes in a shotgun-like pattern, that’s another sign it’s time to call a certified arborist. Even if the infestation is too advanced to save the tree, the arborist and their team can ensure the tree is disposed of properly to avoid the beetles finding another host on your property.

How Can You Prevent Bark Beetle Infestations?

As previously mentioned, reducing stress on your trees is one of the best ways to protect against bark beetles. Regular watering, fertilization, pruning and inspection by a certified arborist go a long way towards bolstering your tree’s defenses. In the event you’re installing new trees, you may also want to consider the diversity of your plantings. Given that some bark beetles have a preference for certain varieties of trees, avoiding blocks of identical species can be beneficial.

Most importantly, be sure to stay on top of preventative treatment. Once girdling has occurred, there’s no way to save the tree. A well-timed insecticide application in spring or early summer will thwart attack. Your certified arborist can put in a place a plan that ensures regular treatments are seamless, so it’s one less thing you have to remember.

Don’t have a certified arborist yet? Give us a call. We can connect you with one of our knowledgeable local tree care teams. And while you’re at it, be sure to sign up for our Dig Into series for more important tips like these delivered straight to your inbox.

9 Reasons to Choose BrightView for Golf Course Maintenance

9 Reasons to Choose BrightView for Golf Course Maintenance Ellie_Lagere Nov 25, 2025 9 Reasons to Choose BrightView for Golf Course Maintenance Dig Into... Golf

You might be surprised to learn that BrightView has been maintaining golf courses across the country for more than 40 years. In fact, we have a specialized team of golf course maintenance experts—including agronomists, operations experts, and golf course and landscape architects—all dedicated to the art and science of creating top-notch course conditions. Go behind the scenes with these nine facts.

We use our large scale purchase capabilities, streamlined administration technologies, technical skills, and top-level industry connections to produce up to 10-percent annual savings while improving player experience.

1. We’re like a golf course coach

Partnering with BrightView isn’t outsourcing your golf maintenance in the traditional sense. You maintain control of your club, while we focus on boosting course conditions, increasing player satisfaction, and improving your bottom line. We assume employment responsibility for the crew and superintendent, who remain onsite as your dedicated course maintenance staff. The only difference is now they’re surrounded by an extended team of experts typically beyond the reach of individual clubs.

2. We create a customized agronomic plan for every course we serve

We conduct diagnostic testing onsite annually. Then, our agronomists use the information to develop a fertility, pest/weed control, and cultural program completely tailored to the course. No two programs are the same.

3. Our clients get an agronomist on speed dial

Our agronomic experts visit each client multiple times per year, but if something emergent pops up in the interim, our agronomist is on-call 24/7.

4. We can provide interest-free financing for capital improvements

Yes, you read that right. In addition to helping courses plan for future capital renovations and improvements to mitigate disruption of play and the impact to budget year-over-year, we help make needed updates possible sooner by providing interest-free financing.

5. Our purchasing power also helps clubs keep more capital in their pocket

Because we’re the largest landscape management company in the United States, we have the best purchasing power in the industry. We pass that benefit along to our clients to reduce the cost of maintenance materials and equipment. And speaking of equipment, we’re even able to purchase existing equipment from a client to use for their benefit, giving them more cash on hand.

6. Our clients can get access to the latest and greatest innovations before anyone else

We often offer opportunities to participate in field trials for new turf varieties, fertilizer technologies, and plant protectant chemistries, giving you a competitive edge.

7. In addition to agronomic excellence, we also help clubs achieve their operational best

We have management and operations experts on staff to assist with implementing best practices in safety, efficiency, and efficacy for day-to-day work and larger projects. We also offer administrative systems and technology that minimize paperwork and the amount of time your superintendent is stuck behind a desk. And finally, we offer ongoing training for your superintendent and crew, so they can operate at their best, too.

8. Partnering with us for golf course maintenance can yield up to 10-percent annual savings

Our purchasing capabilities, ability to troubleshoot agronomic problems as they arise, and our proprietary work planning process all contribute to better course quality and cost-efficiency for our clients.

9. We’ve got a wide network of support that can jump in, in good times and bad

When natural disasters or severe weather events strike, we’re able to call upon our national footprint to bring in additional crews to help you get back on your feet sooner. And when it comes to projects that extend beyond the scope of your course—say maintenance for the HOA, or landscape construction at the clubhouse—we’ve got the capabilities to handle that, too.

Baltimore Branch Celebrates 7 Consecutive Years Without an OSHA Recordable

jim_brinckman — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Baltimore Branch Celebrates 7 Consecutive Years Without an OSHA Recordable jim_brinckman Nov 18, 2025 Baltimore Branch Celebrates 7 Consecutive Years Without an OSHA Recordable This is BrightView: Baltimore Branch

BrightView's Baltimore branch recently celebrated seven years without an OSHA incident.

A lot can happen in seven years. Think about it: almost two full terms for a president, a four-year undergraduate degree plus three years of law school, and a child going from kindergarten to sixth grade, just to name a few.

For BrightView’s Baltimore branch, those seven years represent their current record without an OSHA recordable.

So, what’s their secret?

“This accomplishment is a direct reflection of our commitment to the Push for Perfection 3-6-5 mindset, as well as the professionalism and discipline demonstrated by every member of the team, every day,” said Ronnie Geho, Baltimore’s Branch Manager. “Maintaining a flawless safety record over this length of time highlights the strength of our safety culture, the effectiveness of our training and processes, and the dedication of our employees to uphold the highest standards in every aspect of their work.”

“This is a tremendous accomplishment and standard Ronnie and his team have set for BrightView,” said Tony Cellucci, Vice President of Environmental Health and Safety. “His branch embodies what our Push for Perfection 3-6-5 mindset is all about.”

Geho relentlessly drives home with his team the true meaning of safety, which has nothing to do with hitting numbers on a spreadsheet.

“This achievement isn’t simply about compliance,” he said. “It represents our unwavering commitment to protecting our people, safeguarding our clients’ trust, and ensuring safety remains the foundation of all that we do.”

Geho already has a plan for how they’ll keep growing their safety culture.

“We view this milestone as both a celebration and a responsibility to continue raising the bar and ensuring that our operations remain a benchmark for safety excellence,” he said.

BrightView team members across the country came together again this year to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

At BrightView, October is synonymous with pink.

BrightView team members across the country came together again this year to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month—and the show of unity was powerful.

From branches across the country to offices, our teams proudly wore pink BrightView hats as a tribute to those affected by breast cancer. In partnership with the GROW (Growth in Relationships + Opportunities for Women) Women’s Employee Resource Group, this initiative sparked meaningful conversations about early detection, treatment, and the strength of those battling the disease.

The response was overwhelming. Across our 19,000-strong workforce, team members embraced the pink hats not just as a symbol, but as a statement that BrightView stands with survivors, honors those we’ve lost, and supports ongoing research in the fight for a cure.

These small but visible gestures prompted powerful discussions in break rooms, in meetings, and out in the field, reinforcing that our commitment to the community goes far beyond our daily work.

To deepen our impact, BrightView also made a donation to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, helping advance critical research and support services for those facing breast cancer.

Click here to see inspiring photos from teams across the country participating in this meaningful effort. The passion and purpose on display are a testament to what we can accomplish when we come together for a cause greater than ourselves.
