TESTIMONIALS
King Villages Landscaping (KVL) recently completed a major project at Orchid Island encompassing the renovation of all 18 greens/surround areas, tee boxes, and the driving range/practice facility. In addition, several on-course changes designed to enhance playability were an important piece of the work. KVL accomplished all the objectives that our Club set for them. The company completed the project on-time and within budget. Its work was diligent and high quality. Esteban Gamez, Troy LaGree and their team along with our course superintendent, Matt Boyd, and his staff worked together seamlessly and met all our benchmarks despite supply-chain challenges and weather interruptions. We along with our Board of Governor's, Golf Committees and members are very appreciative of the excellent work performed by KVL.

Working with Esteban Gamez and his crew has been a positive experience for BWGD. There are numerous instances where we call on King Villages to assist with any number of assignments on our golf course projects, whether new or renovation related work. Last year, out in the Austin, TX area, the crew under Esteban's supervision produced a respectable finished product, including greens construction, bunker renovation, sod install, clearing & under-brushing and drainage installation More recently, working in the Tampa, FL area, constructing 4 test bunkers on the golf course to a rigid set of specifications was completed on time and within budget Bobby Weed, Golf Course Architect, Bobby Weed Golf Design
