Landscape subcontracting for general contractors
The site work at the end of a build is where schedules slip. We staff and equip to close out landscape scope on time and to plan.
By the time landscape scope comes up, the schedule is usually tight and the finish date is not moving. A subcontractor who shows up short-handed at that stage costs you the certificate of occupancy, not just a few days.
We have handled commercial landscape installation across Metro Detroit since 1993 with in-house crews and our own equipment — 50 to 75 pieces of equipment and 30 to 50 staff — plus landscape architects on staff for plan and spec work.
Scope we take on
Staffed to hold a date
Landscape scope lands at the end of a job, which means it absorbs every delay upstream and still has to finish on the original date. Running in-house crews and our own equipment is what lets us surge on a site when the schedule compresses, rather than telling you our subcontractor is booked.
Installed to the plan
With landscape architects on staff, we read the drawings the way they were drawn — plant schedules, spacing, and grading intent — and we flag conflicts between the landscape plan and field conditions before they become a punch-list item or a change order argument.
One sub for the whole exterior package
Grading, drainage, turf, plantings, hardscape, and irrigation under one subcontractor removes the coordination overhead of scheduling four trades around each other on a site that is already crowded.
Common questions
- Can you hold a construction schedule?
- That is what in-house crews and owned equipment are for. With 50 to 75 pieces of equipment and 30 to 50 staff, we can put more people on a site when the schedule compresses instead of waiting on a subcontractor's availability.
- Do you work from landscape drawings and specs?
- Yes. We have landscape architects on staff, so plant schedules, spacing, and grading intent are read as drawn — and conflicts with field conditions get flagged early rather than at punch list.
- What scope can you cover on a commercial build?
- Final grading, drainage, sod and hydroseeding, plantings, irrigation, and hardscape including pavers and retaining walls. Taking the whole exterior package under one sub removes a layer of coordination.
- Are you insured for commercial job sites?
- Yes — licensed, bonded, and insured, with certificates provided for your project file before we mobilize.
