Landscape, Irrigation and Recreation Site Planning

Outdoor improvements need to fit the site, utilities and how people use the property. True North coordinates landscape, irrigation and recreation documentation with the applicable design and installation specialists.

For owners, project teams and delivery partners nationwide. The written scope identifies True North’s work, the responsible professionals and any separately contracted construction.

What the scope can include

Select the work and handoff your project needs. The agreement identifies the included deliverables and responsibilities.

  • Landscape and site amenities

    Coordinate planting, screening, trees, hardscape, furnishings and landscape interfaces with circulation, grading and utility routes. Record protected features and owner maintenance expectations.

  • Irrigation and water management

    Bring water availability, system layout, controllers, backflow and drainage information into the design. Qualified parties address system sizing, installation and testing responsibilities.

  • Recreation and common areas

    Coordinate courts, play areas, parks, shade structures and shared outdoor facilities. Integrate accessible routes, equipment requirements, drainage, lighting and applicable structural work.

Prepare for the assignment

You can start with incomplete records. Tell us what is available and what still needs to be established.

  • Information to bring

    Site survey, proposed use, landscape or amenity concept, utility and water records, equipment data, tree information and property-owner requirements.

  • The agreed handoff

    Coordinated outdoor improvement documents with irrigation, equipment, civil and structural responsibilities and approval dependencies identified.

Decisions, fees and timing

Scope and dependencies determine the proposal. No universal price or approval date is assumed.

  1. Confirm the basis and responsibility

    Review the available records, intended endpoint and authority to use the information. Assign missing inputs, technical decisions and the parties who can authorize changes.

  2. Coordinate and review the work

    Prepare the included documents from agreed inputs, resolve interfaces with responsible specialists and track revisions. Record external decisions and conditions separately from work prepared for review.

  3. Account for project-specific dependencies

    Site constraints, retained trees and utilities, equipment specifications, water availability, specialist review and seasonal installation requirements.

  4. Deliver the defined milestone

    Provide the controlling documents and remaining-action record. Identify what is accepted, what still requires a decision and what belongs to a separately contracted next stage.

Before you begin

Common questions

Does a landscape plan cover drainage and structures?

It must be coordinated with them, but separate civil or structural work may be required. The agreement identifies the drawings and responsible designers for each interface.

Can common-area equipment be selected before the layout?

Early product information is useful, but installation clearances, access, supports and utilities must fit the actual site before procurement relies on the layout.
