Landscape Development FAQs
What is landscape development?
Landscape development involves the construction and installation phases of a commercial landscape project. Though the exact elements can vary, it frequently includes services such as grading, drainage, irrigation, planting, hardscape coordination, soil preparation, erosion control, and other site improvements. Essentially, it entails the steps needed to complete the outdoor environment.
How is landscape development different from landscape maintenance?
Landscape development focuses exclusively on building or installing a landscape. In contrast, landscape maintenance involves caring for landscape elements following installation. Monarch provides both services, ensuring smooth continuity from landscape implementation to routine maintenance.
Who does Monarch work with on landscape development projects?
We work with multidisciplinary teams across the field of landscape design and implementation. In particular, we provide key support for general contractors, property managers, and developers across the West.
What types of properties need commercial landscape development?
The short answer is that any commercial property benefits from (and indeed requires) some degree of landscape development. The extent is what varies. A small retail location may require minimal landscaping, while complex properties like office campuses or multifamily communities may benefit from a more involved approach. Landscaping is often central to fulfilling a given property's function, creating an atmosphere and space that matches its needs.
Can Monarch handle both irrigation and planting?
We can. Our landscape development services cover irrigation, planting, and anything else involved in installation, all under one team.
Does Monarch provide value engineering?
Monarch thoroughly supports value engineering to help projects meet performance goals, budget requirements, specifications, and construction timelines. We find it especially helpful when site conditions, material availability, water-use goals, or budget constraints require a more strategic solution.
Can Monarch support large-scale commercial landscape construction?
We have in the past, and we continue to do so. With projects ranging up to $35M+, we have proven ourselves across projects with vast scopes for complex properties.
Does Monarch help with sustainable landscape development?
A key focus of modern landscaping is sustainable development, and Monarch is fully versed in such projects. We support sustainable landscape development via central elements like:
- Water-efficient irrigation
- Drought-tolerant planting
- Drainage solutions
- Soil preparation
- Plant selection
- Long-term maintenance planning
Each careful decision can help reduce water waste, improve plant health, and support long-term site performance.
When should Monarch be brought into a landscape development project?
The earlier, the better. Bringing us in during planning or preconstruction gives us the opportunity to identify issues or concerns in the early stages. This allows us to better plan around them, creating solutions for value engineering before issues become expensive field problems down the road.
