Commercial · South Yarra
Landscape Construction,
Delivered Through Active Sites
Childcare, body-corporate and mixed-use grounds across the South Yarra area, delivered around live operations on tight urban sites.
One in-house team from first consultation to final handover. Not three trades stitched together at the end.
The brief
Active sites, fixed programmes, multiple stakeholders.
Commercial landscape construction is rarely just about the landscape. School grounds work runs through term breaks while classrooms operate next door. Public realm and childcare sites carry safety, compliance and stakeholder demands that a residential job never sees.
ANKS is built for this. We run programmes against fixed completion dates, coordinate with principals, business managers and project consultants, and deliver the external works package safely on active and sensitive sites.
Scope
What we deliver on a commercial site.
Civil & infrastructure
Bulk and detail excavation, drainage, sub-base, paving, kerbs and driveways. The infrastructure that carries the finished landscape.
Structural & retaining
Sandstone, boulder, timber and concrete retaining. Tiered beds, embankments and structural elements that shape graded sites.
Planting & soft landscape
Shade trees, hedging, garden beds, ground cover and turf. Planting selected for the way it establishes in commercial settings.
Finishing & site furniture
Shade sails, fencing, signage, bollards, edging and finishing details. The final layer that brings the commercial site into use.
Programme delivery & handover
Milestones tracked to the day, defects and snag resolution before handover, and warranty documentation aligned with consultant requirements.

Common questions
Commercial landscaping in South Yarra.
Can you deliver a small courtyard or terrace garden in South Yarra?
Yes. A lot of South Yarra outdoor space is courtyards, side returns and roof or podium terraces, where waterproofing, drainage and structure matter as much as the planting. We resolve those elements against the architecture and detail the finish tightly, so a compact space reads as a considered, complete garden.
Do you deliver commercial landscape works around South Yarra?
Yes. Commercial work takes us across metropolitan Melbourne, and we deliver school, childcare, public-realm and medium-density external works in and around South Yarra and the surrounding suburbs.
Can you work on an active school or public site?
Yes. We run fenced compounds, traffic management plans and SWMS documentation, and stage the works around term dates, school hours and public access so the site stays safe while it stays open.
Who holds accountability for the external works package?
One in-house team, from earthworks through to planting and finishing. A single line of accountability against your programme, not a chain of subcontractors handing off between trades.
