News Southern Botanical Wins 2016 TEXO Award for Sustainable Preston Hollow Estate December 4, 2016 For the fourth year in a row, Dallas Landscaping Services Company, Southern Botanical, Inc. has been awarded the TEXO Distinguished Building Award. This year the award was for their beautiful work at an incredible residential property in Dallas. TEXO’s Distinguished Building Awards program identifies construction projects completed by TEXO members in North and East Texas. These awards are based on unusual construction techniques, special obstacles, personnel, quality control and safety. This was Southern Botanical’s fourth entry into the annual competition, and the fourth time the landscape company has been awarded. This challenging project included extensive hardscape and landscape renovations across the expansive estate grounds. The entire project revolved around an effort to make it self-sustaining in its water use and involved installing a huge underground water collecting cistern. The cistern captures rainwater which is then repurposed for irrigation use across the property. TEXO is the construction association representing commercial contractors in North and East Texas. It is the name of the new association formed from the consolidation of the North/East Texas Chapter of the Associated General Contractors (QUOIN) and the Associated Builders and Contractors North Texas (ABCNT). With the consolidation of the two associations, TEXO is the largest commercial contractors association in Texas and one of the largest associations affiliated with both the national ABC and AGC. It serves a membership of more than 1,900 commercial contractors. Learn more about TEXO at www.texoassociation.org.
