One managed exterior package for smoother commercial landscaping delivery

Commercial landscape packages can stall when multiple trades are left to coordinate the exterior works. Delays can affect practical completion and handover, potentially pushing back occupancy or opening dates. Modscape delivers commercial landscaping through one point of contact, fixed-price contracts and detailed QS breakdowns.

Your exterior scope can be priced and delivered as a single package, covering hard landscaping, fencing, paving, planting, site furniture and final clean-up. Progress is tracked against the main construction programme, with site access and milestones agreed upfront.

Commercial landscaping coordinated around active construction sites


Typical commercial new build landscaping includes:
  • Site set-out and groundworks
  • Hard landscaping, including paving, concrete and decking
  • Security, safety and boundary fencing
  • Mass planting, turf and irrigation
  • Driveway works and council-approved road crossings through the footpath and carriageway

Modscape is SiteWise approved, an approved council contractor for road crossings and experienced in working to commercial health and safety standards. See our hardscaping page for more information about our full hard landscape construction services.

Itemised QS pricing, fixed contracts and consented works

Budget control starts with a scope you can check line by line. QS pricing is completed in-house, with itemised breakdowns so costs, quantities and responsibilities are clearly set out before contracts are signed.

Each commercial landscape quote includes:
  1. Itemised works with clear inclusions
  2. Costs allocated by area, item or stage
  3. A timeline for each exterior element
Fixed-price contracts are standard unless the scope changes. Variations are discussed and confirmed in writing before work continues, supporting straightforward reporting and approvals.

Where council consents or engineering sign-off are required, such as for retaining walls over 1.5 metres, road crossings or other structures, engineer’s documents and council paperwork can be coordinated as part of the agreed scope.

For more on our approach to consented works, see
Excavation & Earthworks.

Hardscaping, planting and handover built to specification


Hardscaping on commercial projects is typically specified for compliance, safety and long-term use. Apartment blocks, schools, retirement homes, industrial sites and public buildings require surfaces and structures that can withstand regular foot traffic and vehicle loading.

Materials and installation commonly include:
  • Commercial-grade concrete with steel reinforcement
  • Paving and deck systems built to engineering details where specified
  • Composite and timber decking options, depending on the design
  • Safety and security fencing to specification, including aluminium, steel, chain link and timber
  • Outdoor furniture, cycle racks, sheds and bollards

Most commercial landscaping covers everything from set-out and groundworks through to planting and finishing. This can include earthworks, retaining, paving, driveways, decks, fencing, planting, irrigation and site furniture.

Pricing starts with a detailed itemised QS. Each task, material and area is listed. Fixed-price contracts are standard where possible. If scope changes, variations are agreed in writing before work continues.

Yes. Consent and engineering coordination can be included when hardscaping requires sign-off. Engineer documents and council-required paperwork can be managed as part of the agreed scope.

Exterior works are scheduled in stages to align with your construction programme. Site access, laydown areas and safety zones are agreed so landscaping does not disrupt other trades.

A 12-month workmanship warranty is provided as standard. Longer maintenance periods can apply for commercial contracts where agreed. Aftercare guidance can be provided for surfaces, planting, drainage and fencing.
