YGS Landscapes supports councils where landscaping must meet public access requirements, safety obligations and long-term maintenance expectations.

We understand the additional responsibilities associated with public-sector work – safety, accessibility, transparency, stakeholder sensitivity and long-term value. Our approach reflects these priorities at every stage.

Public-sector landscaping work requires structured compliance and clear reporting.

All works are delivered using:

• ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001-aligned systems

• Structured RAMS and task-specific risk assessments

• CSCS-certified operatives

• Regular reporting and documentation

• Clear communication with client representatives

Our processes support accountability, traceability and confidence in delivery.

We focus on landscape solutions that perform reliably over time.

This includes:

• Appropriate species selection

• Soil preparation and improvement

• Sustainable planting strategies

• Practical maintenance planning

• Whole-life cost awareness

Our aim is to deliver landscapes that remain safe, functional and attractive long after installation, with maintenance requirements considered from the outset.

Environmental responsibility is embedded into our public-sector landscaping work.

We support biodiversity enhancement, appropriate tree planting, soil health improvement and practical environmental measures aligned with ISO 14001 environmental management systems.

Where appropriate, we also contribute to community-focused initiatives, apprenticeships and local employment – supporting wider social value objectives.

We provide structured maintenance contracts aligned with agreed specifications and budgets.

Programmes are designed to support:

• Safe public access

• Clear visibility and sightlines

• Play area safety

• Seasonal management

• Responsive reporting of issues

Consistency and reliability are essential within public environments, and our teams are trained accordingly.

Public-sector landscapes often require structured grounds maintenance, arboricultural support and biodiversity-led planning, all delivered within clearly managed health and safety procedures.

YGS Landscapes supports public-sector schemes where landscaping must balance safety, durability, accessibility and long-term maintenance obligations.

Operating across Devon and Cornwall for more than 50 years, YGS Landscapes brings local knowledge, structured systems and experienced teams to every public-sector scheme.

Our approach balances compliance, practicality and long-term landscape performance across public environments.
