5 ways our civil and landscape company can add value to Sydney

27 Aug 2021

While we value every client that we have, we also value our city and our country. At Civil and Scape, we look forward to contributing to civil projects as much as we do our commercial projects. Landscaping and civil works are important tools needed to both beautify and make our city more functional. 

Civil and landscaping works are integral to the beauty of Sydney

When people walk around the city of Sydney, enjoy time at our parks or simply drive to work, they bypass many important elements that keep the city running and as popular as it currently is. Even throughout the pandemic, there’s no denying that the city has remained lively, vibrant and as beautiful as ever. While a large part of that is due to the unique businesses and characters that fill the city, it’s also because of the landscaping and civil works that have been implemented.

The civil and landscaping services that we offer at our company have a lot of potential to improve and enhance the environment. Before we get into how they can do that, let’s first take a brief look at what civil and landscaping services are as well as what our offerings encompass.

Civil works

Civil works or civil construction is considered to be any service that contributes to the creation of infrastructure involving anything to do with water, earth or transport. With civil works, there are elements of design, construction and maintenance of the physical structure. Our services incorporate all three elements.

Landscaping

Landscaping services involve the addition of plants, manipulation of terrain and the construction of structures (this is commonly called hard landscaping). Soft landscaping refers to any service that improves the aesthetics of the natural environment.

How can our civil and landscaping company add value to Sydney?

Beautify the area by planting trees and flowers

We love beautifying areas through the planting of native flowers, shrubs and trees. Civil and Scape has the capacity to revegetate areas that are barren and provide new life to the area. We’re also able to maintain flower beds and turf across the city. We provide seasonal colour enhancements so that there are flowers that bloom throughout each of Sydney’s four seasons.

Pave roads and access paths

Roads and access paths are important to the accessibility and mobility of the city. We’re able to provide concrete work, stonework and asphalt paving, depending on the suitability of the site. Each service we offer has its benefits, however, with the workmanship of our team, each promises a high-quality result that will improve the quality of life in Sydney.

Install stormwater management systems

Stormwater management systems are legally required in Australia and prevent the following from occurring:

  • Flooding in urban areas
  • Harmful bacteria can get disposed of in wetlands
  • Reduced water quality 
  • Loss of aquatic life

They are key for the maintenance of the hydrologic cycle and for avoiding flash flooding in Sydney. We install the pipes, pits and culverts needed for the system and ultimately, help avoid deterioration of the streets and Sydney’s aquatic life.

Provide access paths, ramps and stairs

A beautiful city is one that is also accessible to people of all abilities. Access paths and ramps are an important part of making that transition. We can construct ramps, stairs and access paths to provide better access to Sydney’s parks, businesses and sites of attraction. 

Install bike racks

Sydney is becoming greener by the minute with more and more people cycling to work, school and to carry out their errands. In order for this environmentally-friendly action to become even more popular, more bike racks are needed so that cyclists have a safe place to store their bikes. We can install bike racks in front of businesses or wherever the city deems it appropriate to help improve the lives of cyclists.
