Built for schedules, specifications and busy sites

Commercial Landscaping

Site-ready landscape construction for commercial, multi-residential, municipal and institutional projects.

Large-scale lawn and commercial landscaping completed at Aggie Park in Ladysmith

The scope

Built as a complete system.

We bring crews, equipment and field coordination to commercial and municipal landscape scopes, from earthwork and growing medium through irrigation, planting, lawns and fencing.

  • Drawing and specification review
  • Site preparation and grading
  • Growing medium placement
  • Sod, hydroseed and planting
  • Irrigation systems
  • Chain-link and sports fencing

Planning the work

What we account for before construction.

Commercial landscape work is planned against drawings, specifications, schedule, access and closeout requirements. Clear scope control is as important as field production.

01

Contract documents

Issued drawings, specifications, details, addenda and schedules are reviewed together to identify quantities, standards and coordination points.

02

Submittals and procurement

Products, substitutions, lead times, testing and approvals are tracked before they can affect the construction sequence.

03

Site logistics

Access, traffic, other trades, laydown, public use and equipment movement are considered when planning crews and deliveries.

04

Quality and closeout

Inspection points, record information, establishment requirements, deficiencies and owner handover are included in the delivery plan.

The RiverCity difference

Preparation before appearance.

Our broader construction capability helps us work efficiently around access constraints, civil scopes, project schedules and other trades.

Our process

Clear from first walk to final review.

01

Scope

We review landscape drawings, specifications, quantities, schedule, site logistics and interfaces with the civil work.

02

Coordinate

Materials, crews, equipment and interfaces with other trades are planned.

03

Deliver

Work is installed, reviewed and closed out against the agreed scope.

Preparing an accurate quote
