Arnulfo Diaz Lopez is a Crew Leader with English Gardens, who has worked with us for 9 years.

Arnulfo is part of the team that transforms landscapes. From tearing apart the old to planting new flowers, installing fresh mulch and everything in between, Arnulfo helps create beautiful new landscape designs.

But his favorite part of the job is creating ponds, because they are rare they are fun to work on and no two are alike.

With more than 10 years of landscape experience, Arnulfo has worked on hundreds of projects. His favorite is working on the Holiday Lighting at Partridge Creek. “Every year we try something new to make the project look even better than the year before.”

That lighting project will start in mid-September and finish in early November – about a week before Santa arrives. Crews work during the night to install nearly 400,000 LED bulbs in a dazzling display of colors. Every tree on the interior of the mall property is lit, except for six – because they have thorns!

English Gardens has created the beautiful holiday light displays every year since the Mall opened in 2007.  The English Gardens team begins planning in January, and works with the team at Partridge Creek throughout the year.
