Landscaping ~ in the context of building works this would involve
reinstatement of the site as a preparation to the landscaping in
the form of lawns, paths, pavings, flower and shrub beds and tree
planting. The actual planning, lawn laying and planting activities
are normally undertaken by a landscape subcontractor. The main
contractor's work would involve clearing away all waste and
unwanted materials, breaking up and levelling surface areas,
removing all unwanted vegetation, preparing the subsoil for and
spreading topsoil to a depth of at least 150 mm.
Services ~ the actual position and laying of services is the
responsibility of the various service boards and undertakings. The
best method is to use the common trench approach, avoid as far
as practicable laying services under the highway.
