Site preparation
Removal, excavation, access, rough grading and material staging create the working foundation for every later phase.
Services
Complete landscaping, irrigation and outdoor construction.
From excavation and utility work to landscape design, gardens, lawns, hardscape, artificial turf and irrigation, choose a focused service or one coordinated build.
Building the full scope
The visible finish depends on the work below it.
A complete property can involve several services, but they should not be planned in isolation. RiverCity coordinates the order of work so drainage, underground systems, grades, bases and finish materials connect properly.
Drainage & underground work
Drainage, irrigation mainlines, valves, sleeves and other buried components are installed before lawns and hard surfaces restrict access.
Structural landscape work
Compacted bases, retaining elements, pavers, soil placement and finished grades establish durable elevations and edges.
Living & finished surfaces
Gardens, lawn, hydroseed, artificial turf, fencing and final programming complete the property in a controlled sequence.
