Commercial landscape construction & install in Bridgewater, NJ
Paver walkways, retaining walls, drainage installs, community entrance walls, and site plantings for HOAs, office parks, apartment complexes, and commercial properties across Somerset County. Design-through-install by the same company that maintains the property after.
Commercial site work, not backyard patios.
This page is the commercial side of PTB's build work. Paver walks and entry plazas at office parks. Retaining walls that hold back grade on multi-building complexes. French drains and catch basins added to properties that were built without enough drainage. Community entrance walls at HOAs and apartment complexes. Foundation plantings and screen hedges on new commercial builds. If it's a landscape or site element that needs to be installed on a commercial or common-area property, this is where PTB does that work.
For residential outdoor living builds (backyard patios, fire features, landscape lighting, private walls, poolside hardscape at estate homes), that lives on the Outdoor Living Spaces page. Same crews, different context.
What PTB installs at commercial & common-area sites
Paver Walkways & Entry Plazas
Concrete pavers, cut stone, and stamped concrete walkways connecting parking, building entrances, and common areas. Base and edge restraint sized for real foot traffic, not residential builds. ADA-conscious slopes and transitions.
Retaining Walls & Grade Solutions
Segmental block, natural stone, and boulder walls for grade changes on multi-building sites, terraced parking, and slope stabilization. Engineered where the height requires it. Drainage built into the wall from day one.
Community Entrance Walls & Monument Signs
Fieldstone, brick, and natural stone entrance features for HOAs, apartment communities, and corporate campuses. Built to sit on the property line and take weather for decades. Sign lighting and plantings included where wanted.
Drainage Installs & Site Regrading
French drains, catch basins, drywells, and swales installed at commercial sites that were built without enough drainage, plus regrading to route water where it should go. Coordinated with any existing basin or MS4 obligations.
Foundation & Screen Plantings
Foundation beds, privacy hedges, screen buffers, and street-facing plantings at new commercial builds and existing properties that need a refresh. Plants selected for the site's exposure and the maintenance schedule that will follow.
Punch List & Turnover Cleanup
Coming in behind a general contractor at project turnover: final grading, sod or seed, mulch install, punch-list plantings, and cleanup so the property is ready to hand off to ownership. Also available on Certificate of Occupancy timelines.
Four steps from RFP to handoff.
Site Walk & Scope
PTB walks the site with the property manager, GC, or ownership. Existing conditions, drainage, access for equipment, tie-ins to existing hardscape, staging area. Photos and notes so the bid reflects the real site.
Written Bid + Materials
Line-item bid: base prep, materials, labor, drainage, edge, plantings. Material samples and product spec sheets included when the finish matters (paver color, stone type, wall product). No surprise change orders.
Install
PTB crews and equipment on site. Site protected during work, communication with property management on any resident or tenant impact, and daily cleanup. Weather-realistic schedule, no drop-and-disappear.
Handoff + Maintenance Option
Walkthrough with ownership or property management. Everything installed gets covered by PTB's install warranty. Optional: the property rolls into PTB's grounds maintenance contract so the same company keeps it looking the way it did on install day.
One company from install through maintenance
Most commercial install work ends the day the last invoice gets paid. Then the property is on its own. PTB works differently. The same company that installs the hardscape, drainage, or plantings is the company that can then maintain the property week after week. Which means if something needs a warranty adjustment two years in, the crew servicing your grounds already knows the install. No coordinating between two vendors, no finger-pointing about who's responsible.
Beyond that, PTB is a Techo-Pro certified hardscape contractor with over a decade of Somerset County commercial work under the same ownership. Licensed and insured for commercial site work, with the equipment (loaders, mini-ex, skid steers, dump trailers) to do the work in-house rather than sub it out. When property managers ask for a install contractor and a long-term grounds contractor, PTB is both.
Commercial construction & install, answered.
What's the difference between PTB's Construction & Install and Outdoor Living Spaces?
Construction & Install is the commercial and common-area work: HOA entrance walls, apartment complex walkways, office park drainage, corporate campus plantings. Outdoor Living Spaces is the residential estate work: backyard patios, fire features, landscape lighting, private hardscape. Same crews, same standards, different context.
Can PTB come in behind our general contractor for landscape turnover?
Yes. Turnover work is a common scope: final grade, sod or seed, mulch, punch-list plantings, walkway repairs, cleanup, sometimes drainage or wall corrections that got missed during construction. PTB can work to a Certificate of Occupancy timeline and coordinate with the GC on access, staging, and hand-off dates.
Does PTB provide engineered plans for retaining walls?
For walls that require engineered design (usually over 4 feet, or any wall carrying a surcharge load), PTB coordinates with an engineer to produce stamped plans. Below that threshold, PTB builds to manufacturer specs with proper base, drainage, and geogrid where the wall system calls for it.
How much does commercial hardscape and install work cost?
It depends on the scope, the materials, and the site. Small installs (a walkway, a drainage tie-in) can be a few thousand. Large multi-phase projects (a full common-area redo, a community entrance rebuild plus drainage) can run into six figures. Every job gets a written line-item bid before any work starts, so the number is real, not a guess.
Do you install drainage as part of hardscape projects?
Almost always. Retaining walls need drainage behind them. Paver walks need drainage under them if they sit in a low spot. Plantings need drainage or they drown. PTB builds drainage into every install where the site calls for it, and can also install standalone drainage (French drains, catch basins, drywells) on properties that need it independent of a hardscape project.
Can PTB maintain the property after the install is done?
Yes, and most commercial install clients do exactly that. The install work rolls into a PTB grounds maintenance contract for weekly mowing, seasonal plantings, mulch, drainage inspection, and snow. Same company from install through year ten, which is why warranty questions never turn into a fight about which vendor is responsible.
Have a commercial install project?
