Sectors We Work In
Landscaping expertise shaped by the environments we operate in
YGS Landscapes supports developers, contractors, councils and commercial estate managers across Devon and Cornwall, adapting landscaping delivery to the operational requirements of each sector.
Each sector brings its own operational pressures, compliance requirements and programme constraints. Our approach is adapted accordingly, ensuring landscaping is delivered safely, efficiently and in line with the wider objectives of each site or estate.
Construction Firms and Principle Contractors
YGS Landscapes operates as a commercial landscaping contractor across multiple sectors throughout Devon and Cornwall.
Our teams are experienced in working alongside principal contractors, coordinating with multiple trades and delivering landscaping packages in line with programme milestones and CDM requirements.
Clear communication, structured RAMS and dependable sequencing ensure landscaping integrates smoothly into the wider build programme.
Housing Developers
We support national and regional housing developers with soft landscaping, boundary treatments and aftercare delivered in line with build programmes and phased handover requirements.
Our teams are experienced in working across multi-phase developments, coordinating with principal contractors and adapting to changing site conditions. Early engagement allows us to manage seasonal planting windows, protect budgets and maintain consistent standards across multiple plots.
Councils & Local Authorities
Public sector environments require careful planning, durability and accountability. As a result, our teams work carefully around visibility, safety and long-term maintenance expectations.
We work within parks, open spaces, highways interfaces and civic environments where safety, accessibility and long-term maintenance are critical. Our teams understand the importance of stakeholder sensitivity, structured reporting and responsible working in highly visible public settings.
Commercial Property & Facilities Management
We support managing agents and facilities teams with planned landscaping and responsive works that maintain presentation, safety and asset value.
Our services are structured around service-level expectations, reporting requirements and budget controls — helping estates remain professional, compliant and well-presented year-round.
Industrial Parks & Distribution Centres
Operational estates require landscaping that supports safety, access and ongoing business activity.
We deliver works on live industrial sites, planning around traffic movement, loading operations and operational constraints. Our approach prioritises safe systems of work, minimal disruption and structured maintenance planning.
Environmental Responsibility Across All Sectors
Environmental responsibility is embedded into how we plan and deliver work across every sector.
We focus on practical, achievable measures that support long-term landscape performance — from appropriate plant selection and soil management to responsible material handling and structured environmental processes aligned with ISO 14001.
Further details are available within our ISO Certifications & Management Systems and Accreditations & Compliance sections.
