YGS Landscapes provides commercial landscaping and grounds maintenance across Devon and Cornwall, supporting housing developments, commercial sites and public sector environments with safe, reliable delivery.
Sectors We Work In
Supporting a wide range of commercial, public and private environments.
How we support your project
We understand the pressures of delivering projects to programme – managing compliance, coordination and reliability on live sites. Our role is to ensure landscaping is one part of your project that runs smoothly, safely and to programme.
From first survey to final planting, we deliver projects safely, to programme and to the standards expected – creating landscapes that perform long after handover.
We engage early to review designs, identify seasonal considerations and provide practical, cost-conscious alternatives that support smooth programme delivery.
We understand live construction environments. Our teams coordinate closely with site managers and other trades to maintain sequencing and minimise distruption.
All works are delivered using ISO-certified management systems, structured RAMS and CDM-aligned processes supporting safe, organised site operations.
We prioritise soil preparation, species suitability and correct installation techniques to ensure landscapes establish successfully and perform over time.

What our clients say
I wanted to express my gratitude for the good work your team does in maintaining the green spaces around Sherford; they are always neat and tidy, and your operatives are always polite and professional. Please do pass on my positive feedback. I understand it can often be a thankless task, but their hard work is certainly noticed!
On behalf of the Directors, I’d like to say a big thank you. I am sure the residents will be very pleased with the progress that YGS have made to tidy the estate in such a short time.
I spoke to Mr Smith this morning, with regards to the fencing and I wanted to let you know that he is very happy with the new fencing and advised that the operatives have done a great job.
