Heritage Landscape Supply Group’s Chief Operating Officer Chris McMurrough is a Project EverGreen Board Member. Heritage is a Platinum Partner of the GreenCare for Troops initiative.

When you drive through a beautiful neighborhood, you see more than attractive landscaping you see something powerful. You see communities where life happens. Families gather, children play safely, and neighbors connect.

That’s why Heritage Landscape Supply Group proudly supports Project EverGreen and its mission to preserve and enhance the green spaces that strengthen our communities.

Shared Values, Shared Mission

Project EverGreen’s commitment to promoting healthy green spaces aligns perfectly with what Heritage sees every day. The lawn and landscape professionals they serve are doing more than installing irrigation systems or maintaining lawns, they are creating the spaces where life unfolds.

Across the country, green spaces make a measurable difference. They boost property values, manage stormwater runoff, clean the air, and provide welcoming places for exercise, play, and connection. Supporting Project EverGreen means investing in the places where customers, employees, and neighbors live, work, and play.

GreenCare for Troops: Service to Those Who Served

GreenCare for Troops holds a special place in Heritage’s heart. Military families give up so much for our country and they deserve to come home to a yard they can take pride in. Heritage supports this program by donating products and working with volunteers to provide free services to these deserving families.

For veterans recovering from injuries, lawn care should be the last thing on their minds. For military spouses returning from deployment, a well-kept yard helps make a house feel like home, not another chore waiting to be tackled.

Heritage encourages every landscape company to consider participating in GreenCare for Troops. Giving back to families who have given so much not only strengthens community bonds – it also unites teams and reinforces why this industry matters beyond business.

Why Green Spaces Matter More Than Ever

In a world dominated by screens, green spaces provide a reason to get outside and connect. Children learn to ride bikes in parks. Neighbors stop to chat along walking trails. Families build memories under shady trees.

These spaces improve quality of life reducing stress, promoting activity, and increasing happiness. During challenging times, parks, gardens, and trails help communities stay connected and resilient.

The Ripple Effect of Industry Support

One powerful example came during a community park renovation, when local contractors volunteered to transform a neglected play area. Watching children go from playing on broken equipment to enjoying safe, beautiful playgrounds reminds everyone why this work matters.

Moments like these connect the industry to a bigger purpose. They show teams that their work is about more than projects, it’s about people, communities, and lasting impact.

Advice for Other Companies

To companies considering supporting Project EverGreen, Heritage poses this question: Can you afford not to get involved?

Start small. Volunteer for a GreenCare for Troops project, sponsor a local green space renovation, or help promote the benefits of professionally maintained landscapes. Every effort makes a visible difference and shows the community that green spaces truly matter.

Deep Roots, Shared Vision

If Heritage had to describe Project EverGreen in one word, it would be essential. Together, we champion an industry that creates and cares for the spaces where communities come together.

Landscape professionals do more than make things look beautiful, they create environments that improve lives. This partnership with Project EverGreen reflects a shared vision: communities with the outdoor spaces they deserve.

That’s a future worth building together.
