What’s Included in a Full Commercial Landscape Installation
Our installations combine quality materials, local expertise, and features that make your property look sharp and stay functional:
-
Sod Installation
We prep the soil, apply compost, and install commercial-grade sod to give your project a clean, professional finish that holds up to foot traffic and seasonal weather.
-
Compost Integration
Compost is included during prep to promote healthy root development and long-term landscape success, especially important for large commercial spaces.
-
Plantings
Trees, shrubs, and perennials are carefully selected to meet visibility requirements, scale appropriately with the site, and thrive in Sanford’s climate. We install everything with precision and attention to layout.
-
Mulch and Pine Straw Installation
A final layer of mulch or pine straw adds polish while helping with weed control and moisture retention, keeping commercial landscapes tidy with less maintenance.
-
Paver Patios and Pool Decks
We build durable patios, walkways, and pool decks for commercial amenity spaces, courtyards, and entrances—always with drainage and slope considerations built in.
-
Retaining and Seating Walls
Retaining walls solve grading and drainage challenges, while seating walls offer both structure and function around common areas and entrances.
-
Hardscaping Features
From steps and walkways to border accents and stone landings, we install hardscaping that enhances the property layout and improves durability in high-use areas.
Each commercial installation comes with honest pricing, a clear schedule, and strong warranties, including two years on hardscapes and one year on irrigation and landscape elements when installed together. We coordinate directly with project managers and onsite teams to minimize delays and make sure every detail gets handled the right way.
