Overview

What commercial landscaping work does Arkland do?

Arkland Landscape Construction improves, rebuilds and builds landscapes for commercial and multi-family properties across the San Francisco Bay Area, and does their tree work too. We work on apartment complexes, HOAs and condo associations, business campuses, offices, hospitals, hotels, retail, school and university campuses, and parks.

Our approach is simple. We take care of what already exists, renew and upgrade it when it needs it, and build new when that's the right call. Every landscape is adapted to its site, including California native plants and water conservation.

We treat your property's landscape as if it were our own garden. Already have plans from a landscape architect? We build from them and keep a close eye on budget and schedule.

FAQ

Questions about commercial landscaping

What types of commercial properties does Arkland work on?

Arkland works on commercial and multi-family properties of many kinds across the San Francisco Bay Area. That includes apartment buildings and complexes, HOAs and condo associations, business campuses, commercial offices and facilities, hospitals and institutions, hotels, retail, university and school campuses, and parks and open spaces. Tell us about your property and we'll set up a site visit.

Can you upgrade our existing landscape instead of replacing it?

Yes, and that's usually where we start. Arkland takes care of what already exists and renews or upgrades it when it needs it, with new planting, turf, irrigation repairs and hardscape fixes. We review your existing installations and point out what's worth keeping. When an area really needs a fresh start, we can renovate it or build a new landscape.

Can you build from our landscape architect's plans?

Yes, Arkland builds commercial landscapes from landscape architect, designer and engineering drawings. Our team is experienced in keeping projects on time and on budget, and we give feedback specific to your project as we go. No plans yet? We can design and install a new landscape from scratch and give you budget advice and planning from the start.

Can you help a commercial property use less water?

Yes, water conservation is part of how Arkland plans commercial landscapes. We use California drought-tolerant and native plants that suit the site, repair and upgrade irrigation, and can swap thirsty turf for planting or artificial turf. We'll look at what you have now and suggest the changes that make the most sense for your property and budget.

Do you handle tree work on commercial properties?

Yes, tree work is part of our commercial services. Arkland removes and prunes trees, grinds stumps, clears brush and plants new trees for apartment complexes, condos, gated communities, hotels, schools and parks. Pairing tree work with landscape upgrades means one team handles the whole property. See our Tree Services page for more about the tree work we do.
