The Brickman Group and ValleyCrest Landscape Cos.—to be branded as BrightView in mid-2015 as part of their recent merger—became the exclusive landscaping provider for Associa, “the world’s largest community association management firm,” with 4 million residents across the country.

“Brickman/ValleyCrest is already at the top of its class as a landscaping provider and we are proud to tell our communities that they’ll be receiving service from the best in the business,” said Associa Executive Vice President and COO Joey Carona. “Unsurpassed service is what we promise to the associations we manage and this new alliance ensures that the landscaping within our communities will live up to that.”

Andrew Kerin, Brickman/ValleyCrest CEO, added: “We’re really pleased to have the opportunity to work with the Associa family. Our values are very similar to Associa’s. Our teams care deeply about our clients and the communities we live and work in. We take a great deal of pride in understanding each community’s needs and offering solutions that matter most to residents.  We are very excited to have the opportunity to make a positive impact for millions of residents.”
