Landscaping & Hardscaping

The part of landscaping that is built rather than planted — and the pipework under it.

NRGC delivers the built side of landscaping — hardscaping and paving, steel pergolas and outdoor structures, terraces, decorative steel and outdoor furniture, planters, and the irrigation and drainage networks beneath them. Completed work includes steel structures, decorations between buildings and outdoor furniture on delivered projects.

Landscaping arrives at the end of the programme, on a site everybody else has finished with, and it is the first thing a visitor actually sees. Our contribution to it is the built half: paving and interlock, steel pergolas and shade structures, terraces, planters, decorative steelwork and outdoor furniture, plus the irrigation and drainage that has to go in before any of it is laid.

Delivered work includes steel structures and decorations between buildings with outdoor furniture, and roof terraces finished with tensile canopies.

Questions

About this service

Does NRGC do planting as well as hardscaping?

Hardscaping, structures and irrigation are delivered by our own crews. Planting and horticultural maintenance sit outside our directly employed trades and would be sublet to a specialist under our supervision, priced openly as such.

Can landscaping be taken with the external works?

That is usually the sensible way to buy it. Interlock, kerbs, drainage and irrigation are the same crews and the same trench as the infrastructure package, so combining them removes a handover and a set of levels arguments.

Does NRGC fabricate its own pergolas and outdoor steel?

Yes. Steel fabricators, erectors and welders are directly employed and we own our welding and cutting plant, so pergolas, canopy frames and decorative steel are fabricated and erected by the same team.
