Commercial Landscaping Process.

Hoffman & McNamara’s process is one of the main reasons we continue to be an industry leader in public space landscaping.

Step #1

Research & Estimating

The better we understand your project, the more effectively we can assist you in achieving your commercial landscaping goals. Our detailed research throughout the estimating process allows us to create a clear and accurate quote for your project without compromising on safety, quality, efficiency, or longevity. Our process begins with asking the following questions:

  • When is the work taking place?

  • What is the site access like?

  • Quantity/size/variety of plantings?

  • What is the warranty length?

  • Who maintains (watering, weeding, etc) the plantings during the warranty?

  • And others…

Step #2

Pre-Installation

Following approval of an estimate, your project is handed off to a Hoffman & McNamara Project Manager. Our project management team meticulously pre-plans for all details of installation including material sourcing, equipment needed, crew scheduling, planning for traffic management and safety, and communication with applicable sub-contractors. This detailed pre-installation process leverages our experience to anticipate and avoid potential problems. This sets the foundation for a streamlined installation, efficiently providing you with the results you deserve.

Step #3

Installation

When installation begins, we finalize layout and staking, examining site-specific challenges like water flow and existing utility features. We request utility locating to ensure that all trees can safely be planted in their designated locations or adjusted according to your preferences. 

Our skilled crews then execute the project as planned, from soil prep, plant installation and mulching, to site cleanup.  Once installation is completed, our Foreperson will follow a QA process to sign off on the project and, if applicable, will initiate a handoff to our Maintenance Foreperson for subsequent care and watering of the newly installed commercial landscape.

Step #4

Watering & Maintenance

We believe that creating a stunning commercial landscape is only half of the process. True success comes courtesy of successful watering & maintenance. Whether dealing with freeway interchanges, parkways, golf courses, parks, or other commercial landscapes, we implement a performance and seasonally-based maintenance plan that reflects the individual plant needs within your project. In turn, this ensures the very best results for the project while also saving owners time, money, and hassle in the long run.
