Lake Maintenance
Turtle Run consists of 14 lakes totaling 68.6 acres. The lakes are maintained in accordance with the South Florida Water Management District’s permitted guidelines. A contractor visits each lake monthly to inspect and treat noxious vegetation.
The lake system serves as the District’s stormwater drainage system. Its primary purpose is to collect, retain, and convey stormwater runoff in order to manage rainfall and reduce the risk of flooding to homes and infrastructure within the District. While flood control is its primary function, the lakes also provide aesthetic benefits and support fish and bird populations for residents to enjoy. To ensure the lakes remain visually appealing, landscape and lake maintenance vendors patrol the lake banks for debris and trash removal as needed.

Water levels are controlled by Broward County

Landscape Maintenance
Much of the character and enjoyment of the Turtle Run community can be attributed to its mature tree canopy, curved landscape beds, and colorful landscape accents. With more than six miles of roadway and Turtle Run Park to maintain, a high level of attention to detail—often referred to as the “Disney Look”—is provided by BrightView Landscaping. Their contract includes irrigation repairs, tree trimming, annual flower rotations, annual mulch installations, mowing, and hedge shaping in accordance with industry appearance standards. This level of service represents a significant portion of the District’s maintenance budget and is vital to distinguishing Turtle Run and positively influencing property values.
The Turtle Run CDD also partnered with the City of Coral Springs to fund improvements to Turtle Run Park. These improvements included full restroom renovations, playground equipment upgrades, removal of the clay baseball field, upgrades to the sand volleyball court, renovation and relocation of the basketball courts, installation of covered pavilions, and tennis court and pickleball court renovations at Forest Glen Middle School.
Lights, Signs, and Road
Paver systems, benches, decorative lighting, and signage provide the finishing touches that define the Turtle Run community’s appearance. Maintaining these amenities in like-new condition is an ongoing effort that requires regular inspections, pressure cleaning, and, when necessary, repair or replacement.
Seasonal holiday decorations further enhance the community by creating a festive, hometown atmosphere. Our contractor installs and manages approximately 5,000 strands of lights, adjusts roundabout fountain lighting, and conducts routine inspections to ensure the community continues to look its best.
