Horticulture for SEQ public, council and commercial landscapes.
Rivercity Environmental's horticulture teams plan, plant and maintain garden beds, streetscape plantings, public realm gardens and commercial landscape elements across South East Queensland.
We focus on planting that suits the SEQ climate, soils and site context — from sub-tropical natives in coastal council reserves to streetscape feature gardens in commercial precincts and body corporate landscapes.
Our horticulture work covers both establishment of new plantings and ongoing care, with the field experience to keep gardens performing through hot SEQ summers, storm seasons and cooler months.
Plantings that perform through SEQ summers, storms and cooler months.
Sub-tropical natives in coastal reserves. Streetscape feature gardens in commercial precincts. Public-realm beds in town centres. We pick plants that actually suit the climate, soil and site — and we follow through with the watering, weeding and renewal that establishment really needs.

How a Rivercity horticulture program runs.
-
01
Garden assessment
Plant inventory, condition, weed pressure, mulch level, soil and irrigation context are reviewed at site walk-through.
-
02
Program design
Maintenance frequencies, plant care, mulch top-ups, fertilising and renewal plantings are scheduled across the year.
-
03
Establishment phase
For new plantings, an establishment program covers watering, mulch, weed control and replacement of any losses.
-
04
Ongoing care
Recurring crews handle weed management, pruning, garden bed presentation, mulch maintenance and seasonal tasks.
-
05
Renewal & gap planting
Tired or failed sections are renewed with appropriate plant selections, restoring presentation and consistency.
-
06
Reporting
Site records and photo evidence support council, commercial property and body corporate reporting requirements.

Other capabilities that pair with horticulture.
Horticulture — common questions.
Do you specialise in native planting?
Yes — we work with both native and climate-suitable planting palettes, selected for site context, performance and long-term maintainability across SEQ conditions.
Can you support establishment watering?
Yes — establishment watering programs for newly planted streetscapes and public realm gardens can be coordinated through our water cartage capability.
Do you handle weed control with appropriate licences?
Yes — chemical weed control is performed by ChemCert-credentialed crews following documented chemical-handling, dilution and application procedures.
Can you renew tired existing gardens?
Yes — garden renewal, gap planting and replanting of underperforming areas is a regular part of our horticulture work, especially for council and body corporate gardens.
Do you support seasonal pruning?
Yes — formative and seasonal pruning of shrubs, hedges and feature plants is included in scheduled programs and one-off jobs.
How are plant selections decided?
Selections consider site conditions (sun, soil, drainage), council or master-plan species lists, water requirements and long-term maintainability — not just visual appeal at planting.
Where do you work?
Across South East Queensland — Brisbane, Logan, the Gold Coast, Ipswich, Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay — from depots in Slacks Creek, Lawnton, Molendinar and Bundamba.
