Jorge Corral

If you ask customers about who has the answer to a variety of questions about landscaping, hardscaping and xeriscaping …they will say the name Jorge Corral. He has over 20 years of multi level experience in the Arizona landscape/xeriscape culture. Jorge loves the challenge of taking a property from “okay” and converting it into a “showplace”. His eye for detail on properties distinguishes him from the pack. And don’t let the dress shirt fool you, he can still get out there in the trenches when the situation warrants. He has created wonderful design for high end luxury properties, but still never skimps on details for the budget minded client. He brings to Tierra Madre a vast wealth of landscape acumen along with a superior work ethic that benefits our customers and our company on all the best levels of performance.

When Jorge’s not estimating on properties or sharing his landscape “tips” with the crews or addressing a customer’s concerns, you will find him riding on the roads of Arizona on one of his various “pro level” road bikes. NO, not motor bike…..the only engine propelling these babies are Jorge’s own leg pistons! Back in the day he accumulated quite a bit of trophy hardware from sprinting in criterions and road races to win @the finish. His leisure activities include “torturing himself” by surfing the web admiring road bike frames that rival mid-size cars in price. He also has a stellar collection of Playstation games that he has completed @ HARD level.

Jorge has two beautiful daughters, Jasmin and Annay who consider him “BEST DAD” in the world and a wife, Alicia, who is always ready with ice cold Lemonade @ the end of any Bike Ride in the AZ

Summer’s here and if you can’t find him @ Tierra Madre then watch out……he has gone to try the Amgen Tour of California with the Big Boys of pro-cycling! Next Stop – Tour De France, baby!

According to Donna Wood, President of Tierra Madre, “We created the AZ Tree Mission as a “green” program to help make up for some of the carbon generated by the gas powered equipment we use. Our primary mission as a landscaping company is to keep the exterior eco-system of communities attractive and healthy while protecting their investment. In keeping with Tierra Madre’s sustainability practices, we created the AZ Tree Mission as a carbon offset program that is beneficial, not only to our customers but, to everyone in the community.”

As cited by ACTC, “Trees in urban areas provide a number of important benefits. They help to clean the air, curb storm water runoff, raise property values, sequester carbon, and reduce energy costs.” Under the AZ Tree Mission, new and existing maintenance customers of Tierra Madre can be eligible to receive up to twelve free trees per year. The free trees may be planted within the community being maintained by Tierra Madre, or may be donated to a not-for-profit agency, municipality or educational facility within the Phoenix metropolitan area.

Jon Edwards, Landscape Chairman, and the Board of Directors of Fletcher Heights have chosen to donate one of the six trees being planted this season to Frontier Elementary School. Jon and the Board, on behalf of the Fletcher Heights community at large, believe that giving back to the school in their community is an excellent way to extend the spirit of Arbor Day. According to Jon, “We appreciate the AZ Tree Mission contribution. It is this type of partnership that develops a true sense of community and creates a solid foundation for the residents of our association and our town. Keeping our neighborhoods strong is the key to a great quality of life.” With this big vision for his neighborhood, Fletcher Heights and the City of Peoria, Jon has thrown his hat into the ring and is prepared for a more impactful leadership role by running for the Peoria City Councilperson this coming election.

The remaining five trees will be planted throughout the Fletcher Heights community with one tree dedicated to George Wheeler, long-time resident and board member, in honor of his many years of hard work and commitment to Fletcher Heights.
