The Groundworks story

From a company beginning to a signature palm.

Groundworks began in 1986 and introduced the Medjool date palm to its Southern landscape work in 1990. George’s long involvement with specimen palms connects the company’s history to the practical questions still raised by selection, handling, installation, and performance.
