Landscape construction is a specialist area of civil engineering that transforms outdoor spaces into functional and beautiful ones. It involves technical expertise, practical know-how and a bit of creativity. Landscape construction can be used in residential, commercial and public spaces.
Key Areas of Landscape Construction
Landscape construction involves several areas, which come together to create a beautiful and practical outdoor space. This includes:
Site Preperation
This is the foundation of any landscape construction project, it involves clearing any unwanted vegetation, grading the land quality and ensuring proper drainage is in place. This stage creates a stable base for further construction.
Hardscaping
Hardscaping involves the structural installation of elements like patios, driveways, pathways and retaining walls. These solid elements add functionality and style to the outdoor space, they’re usually a starting point for the rest of the construction.
Soft Landscaping
Soft elements like trees, grass, flowers and shrubs come next, these factors fall under the branch of ‘soft landscaping’. These elements make the space natural, and beautiful, and they add sustainable benefits like providing a habitat for bugs and wildlife.
Drainage and Irrigation
Effective water management is essential in landscape construction. Installing drainage helps prevent standing water and soil erosion. This protects plants and the rest of your property.
