BACKGROUND:
The landscaping restoration program restores landscaping at private residential properties, commercial properties and public rights-of-way damaged as a result of Public Utilities (Electric and Water), Public Works maintenance, and capital improvement projects. Work is on-going during construction season and includes turf restoration, hardscape restoration, landscape planting, sprinkler repair, and other landscape related repairs.
In February 2026, the Department of Public Works issued Bid 26-048, Landscape Restoration Services, to solicit bids from qualified vendors. The restoration work may vary in size from three square foot turf repairs to several hundred square yards of turf repair of parkway or residential rear yard repair. The work will involve mobilizing to various sites throughout the City and completely restoring the landscaping. The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, material, equipment and supervision necessary to perform the work at designated locations as directed by the City.
