CCR Total Turf Management
A Ribbon Cutting/Grand Opening was held for new member CCR Total Turf Management, Inc., located at 200 W. Wisconsin Ave.

CCR began in 2001 as a full service company through consolidation of the Irrigation Service and Installation, Landscape Installation, lawn Maintenance and Golf Course Management by the three original principals, Craig Clifton, Clif Clifton, and David Raihl. With over 90 years of combined experience and a clear vision to provide quality and professionalism, CCR quickly established themselves as a leading commercial contractor in the Volusia County market. In 2005, a fourth partner, Dennis Smith was added, a Green Industry consultant, who had been working with the company for the previous two years.

The ownership at CCR has always been unified in its desire to provide quality work in a professional manner and owes its success to its unswerving commitment to stay true to this credo. Now six years later, CCR is one of the largest full-service contractors in Florida with over 75 employees. In 2006, CCR added the Turf and Ornamental Spray Service and Landscape Lighting to make CCR your Total Turf Management Company.

In May of 2007 CCR moved their corporate offices into a 100 year old professional building in downtown DeLand. The newly renovated building with its Key West theme has drawn much attention, particularly the Paspalum turf grass selected for the new landscape.

This particular turf grass, while closely resembling golf course grass, is actually a very close relative of Bahia grass. However, there is very little that is similar about these two types of turf. Paspalum grass thrives on salt and can be irrigated with salt water. As with any grass that is maintained at very low heights (3/4”), it requires a special reel-type mower and should be mowed at least twice per week in the summer growing season. Additionally, there are extensive fertilization and chemical applications necessary to keep this turf looking pristine.

CCR is your home town Total Turf Management Company, and is looking forward to building new relationships.
