E-Landscape To Carry Out Landscape Construction At Hilltop Housing Complex
Davidsonville, MD April 19, 2011 –
Davidsonville, Maryland‐based commercial landscaping specialist E‐Landscape Specialty Solutions
announced today that it has been awarded the contract to provide hard and softscaping for Phase I of
the Hilltop Housing complex and a new recreation center in Ellicott City (Howard County), Maryland. The
Hilltop site and the new recreation center will comprise the first phase of redevelopment for what will
eventually be a larger, mixed income community.
The Howard County Housing Commission plans for the project call for Hilltop Housing on Mount Ida
Drive and the neighboring Ellicott Terrace apartments to be replaced by a mix of 273 housing units,
some at market‐rate and others subsidized. Included will be a new, 45,000‐square‐foot public recreation
center, which County Executive Ken Ulman describes as a “fabulous state‐of‐the‐art recreation center
that will uplift not just the immediate community but … the entire area.” The result will be a new, and so
far nameless, community that is to be completed in 2014. Phase I – Hilltop and the recreation center –
will be completed first, in 2013.
E‐Landscape’s scope of work includes the construction of a rain collection and storm water management
system, subdrainage, and the installation of pavers.
