The Landscape Maintenance Department provides services at 24 Rest Area Sites throughout the state of Pennsylvania. These properties range in size from 1.5 acres to 14.7 acres. The crews mow approximately 163 acres per week starting in April and continuing through the middle of November. Our work does not stop there. We mulch all of the landscape beds and perform the spring planting of flowers. The landscape beds are maintained and kept weed free throughout the season. Pruning of all the shrubs and trees is completed to maintain a healthy, vigorous tree or shrub. The workers are continually removing fallen limbs or debris from the lawn areas to maintain a park-like appearance for all travelers to enjoy. We all enjoy the fall foliage, but once the leaves start falling. The crews are busy performing the fall cleanup. The Landscape Maintenance Department has three crews with a total of eight employees providing the landscape maintenance services.
When the temperatures drop and the snow starts flying we keep busy with snow and ice removal services at eleven Rest Area Sites in 5 Northwestern Pennsylvania Counties. Snow removal is 24 hour/seven days a week service (holidays included) clearing snow and ice on a continuous basis during a storm.
