Paving, walls and structures built in the right order with the planting, so neither is dug up for the other.
Hardscape and softscape fail together when they are contracted separately. Paving goes down, then the irrigation has to be chased through it. Trees are planted, then a retaining wall is built across their root plate.
The order we work in
- Levels and drainage set first, because everything else sits on them
- Services and irrigation run before any surface is finished
- Hard landscaping built to the finished levels the planting will meet
- Soil brought in and beds formed once the heavy work is off site
- Planting last, into ground that has not been driven over since
One team, one sequence, one person answerable for the joint between the two. That is most of what this service is.
