Landscape Installation in Gainesville

Installation is where the drawing becomes a yard. Our crews prep the soil, set the plants, lay the sod, build the walkways and walls, and set the lights, then walk it with you at the end.

What goes in before anything shows

Landscape Installation in Gainesville is decided below the surface. Scroll and the ground comes apart.

  1. 01Mulch. Top dressing. It holds water in the sand and keeps the bed edge honest.
  2. 02Amended topsoil. The planting layer. What goes in here decides whether the plants live.
  3. 03Irrigation lateral. Poly line and risers, zoned for turf, beds and trees before anything is planted over them.
  4. 04Compacted base. Under every paver and walkway, so the surface stays level through a Florida rainy season.
  5. 05Subgrade. North Florida sand. Everything above it is a decision somebody made.

Cross-section drawing, not a photograph. Depths and layers vary by soil, grade and project.
