The world of commercial landscaping is evolving, and Husqvarna’s latest expansion of its CEORA™ robotic mower line signals what’s next. Designed to manage turf areas of up to 75,000 m² per unit, this new generation of autonomous mowers brings cutting-edge capabilities to sports fields, parks, and other large-scale landscapes. For companies like IslandEarth Landscape, based in British Columbia, the launch marks more than just a technological leap—it creates a strategic opportunity to rethink turf management in a sustainable, data-driven, and cost-effective way.
The CEORA™ Evolution
When Husqvarna first introduced CEORA™, it marked a game-changing moment for robotic turf maintenance. Initially targeting structured landscapes like airports and golf courses, the autonomous mower combined high-precision GPS navigation with quiet, consistent mowing. The latest iteration builds on this solid foundation and adapts more easily to broader spaces such as sports fields, school grounds, and public parks.
One of the standout features of the new CEORA™ models lies in their scalability. A single unit can maintain up to 75,000 m², making these machines viable for managing multiple fields or large strata complexes without relying on fleets of traditional mowers. This capability reduces manual labor, cuts down on fuel consumption, and delivers consistent results day after day.
Why This Matters for British Columbia
British Columbia’s unique climate—its long growing seasons, wet shoulder months, and labor supply challenges—creates an ideal environment for robotic mowing systems. Grass grows quickly during the mild coastal summers, making maintaining large open spaces like sports fields and parks labor-intensive. CEORA™ offers a reliable alternative to traditional maintenance schedules and frees up landscaping crews for specialized work that requires human attention.
In addition, CEORA’s all-electric operation aligns perfectly with the province’s increasing focus on sustainability. The mower operates quietly, eliminates emissions, and runs at night without disrupting neighborhoods—an ideal match for urban and suburban settings. For environmentally conscious clients and municipalities, this technology supports long-term climate goals.
A Smart Turf Opportunity for IslandEarth
For IslandEarth Landscape Company, the expanded CEORA™ platform presents more than just a tool—it lays the foundation for a whole new service model. IslandEarth can launch a “Smart Turf Program” tailored for modern commercial clients by combining autonomous mowing with turf health monitoring.
Here’s how it could work:
-
Autonomous Mowing: CEORA™ units deliver scheduled, GPS-guided cuts that keep turf at an optimal height with minimal intervention.
-
Turf Health Monitoring: Integrated sensors or paired drone technology track grass density, irrigation needs, and soil health.
-
Data-Driven Maintenance Plans: Clients receive turf condition reports guiding fertilization, aeration, or irrigation efforts.
This innovative, layered approach goes beyond basic landscaping—it positions IslandEarth as a provider of intelligent, eco-forward turf management solutions. It also opens the door to recurring service contracts with strata complexes, recreational departments, school districts, and golf courses seeking predictable outcomes and high ROI.
Beyond Airports: Expanding Robotic Service Contracts
Until recently, robotic mowing served structured environments like airports or private estates. The CEORA™ expansion breaks that mold, enabling IslandEarth to propose robotic maintenance packages to a broader range of clients.
Strata complexes, for example, often struggle to maintain expansive green areas on limited budgets. A robotic system that operates quietly and autonomously can reduce maintenance costs while keeping communal lawns consistently trimmed.
Likewise, municipalities responsible for maintaining multiple sports fields or public parks can benefit from predictable, automated care. Rather than deploying a crew of operators, one technician could manage multiple CEORA™ units, all working simultaneously with GPS precision.
IslandEarth can strengthen client relationships and secure long-term contracts rooted in innovation and efficiency by offering robotic turf management as part of a larger service ecosystem.
Comparing CEORA™ to Previous Models and Competitors
Compared to earlier CEORA™ models, the newly expanded line delivers several key advancements:
-
More excellent Coverage: The increased area per unit—up to 75,000 m²—marks a significant leap forward.
-
Improved Terrain Adaptability: The new models effectively navigate complex field shapes and slight elevation changes.
-
Easier Integration: CEORA™ now connects more efficiently with innovative irrigation systems, monitoring tools, and property management software.
CEORA™ stands out for its ability to maintain high-cut sports turf with a professional finish when placed alongside other commercial robotic mowers on the market. Many competitor models work better for residential or mid-sized lawns and lack the precision or durability for continuous public use.
Looking Ahead
The landscaping industry is quietly entering a new era powered by automation, sustainability, and actionable data. With the expanded CEORA™ line, Husqvarna sets a new standard for robotic turf care. For IslandEarth Landscape, this launch offers an exciting opportunity to lead commercial landscaping by delivering innovative, scalable, and eco-friendly solutions for British Columbia’s growing commercial needs.
The Smart Turf era has arrived, and IslandEarth is ready to lead the way.
