Hermes Commercial Division

"Hermes has helped my clients overcome budget and scheduling obstacles at no additional cost. They are truly team players with problem-solving attitudes and have the capacity to bring professional, innovative design-build services to the project."

-- Mark Morton

On Target. On Time. On Budget.
 

A recent best-selling book encouraged readers to not sweat the small stuff. But as a developer working on large commercial projects, you know that the small things can keep you awake at night.

For example, landscaping usually accounts for only 2 to 4 percent of your overall project budget -- yet it may cause 10 percent of your headaches. When you turn your landscaping over to Hermes Landscaping, you get unmatched quality and service, from design through installation and maintenance. We have been completing projects on time, on budget, and ahead of schedule for over 35 years.

Our highly respected professionals, working with your Project Manager and Landscape Architect, will enhance the beauty of your project with innovative landscapes. Your clients will thank you --- and you will sleep better at night.

"EcoWorks was a little different from the projects Hermes has done in the past, but they worked very hard to meet our expectations. It was important to have the same company both install and maintain the landscape. The transfer of responsibility from design through installation and maintenance has been pretty seamless."
-- Patti Banks

We Get Your Landscape Project Done and Done Well
 


Most importantly, our commercial landscaping team listens. Only then can we plan and install the landscape that meets your needs, your budget and site requirements. We understand how the system works. We are experts at cutting through red tape to quickly obtain required approvals.

We also know the construction industry, inside and out. Our team includes Project Managers and Superintendents, just like our clients. We self-perform all landscaping, irrigation and grading work. With our experienced Superintendents, coordinating and working with other subcontractors is no problem.

Hermes creates your landscape plans, irrigation system shop drawings, irrigation systems and as-built drawings using CAD, computer aided drafting. You will have a clear, accurate,electronically transferable record of the landscaping and irrigation system work done on your project.
You never have to worry about an elaborate design for which plant material is not readily available and which may drive up maintenance costs. Our own Hermes Nursery grows more than 70 varieties of quality trees, shrubs and evergreens on over 600 acres in Shawnee and Olathe, Kansas. Our plant materials are acclimated to the local climate and will have the highest possible survival rates. You also have the option of tagging your own trees at our local nurseries. When rare plant materials are a must, our traveling buyers are expert in locating them as needed.

Finally, we don't drive away when the last tree is planted and the last invoice is submitted. We will follow up until the landscape is exactly the way you envisioned it. And our expert staff is never more than a phone call away.

Hermes Sprinkler Design
 

Beautiful Landscape from the Ground Up,
Protect Your Investment

Hermes Company has built its reputation on what you see above the ground -- beautiful lawns, shrubs and landscape designs. But we believe what you don't see can be just as important as what you do.

We also are the local leader in designing and installing effective, efficient sprinkler systems to keep your lawn and other plant materials looking their best from spring through fall. Instead of lugging hoses and sprinklers across your lawn, let Hermes design a sprinkler system from the ground up
  • Our expert designers develop a plan that is ideally suited to your site, soil types and watering needs. Some "one-size-fits-all" designs give you more capacity than you need. Or they don't provide the capacity to water during proper times for properties such as overnight, not during working hours. Hermes gives you exactly what you need -- no more and no less.


  • We can integrate the design and installation of both your Landscape and Sprinkler System.

  • From our years of experience we have learned to select the equipment that will provide the best performance for the longest life. And we will train your staff to use our internal specifications.


  • Communication is the key to our success. We work to minimize your lawn disturbance. We maintain a clean job site.


  • Our experienced designers develop systems for high or low-pressure areas. The alternative is first recognizing a problem when the system is switched on.


  • We work only with the best names in the equipment industry, including Hunter, Weathermatic, Rain Bird, Nelson and Toro.


  • When we are done, we have the capability to provide CAD "As-Built" plans that include any modifications made during installation (available on CD for perpetual storage).


  • We provide a full one-year warranty. Our service department can provide parts and service for nearly any system you install.


  • With a maintenance contract, you can expect prompt, professional service from our highly trained technicians -- 24/7 if you have an emergency. It takes just one call to reach our radio-dispatched technicians.

Remember, the best time to design and install a sprinkler system is before you start planting your landscape. Turn to Hermes, the name you trust, and let us design the perfect system for your irrigation needs, from the ground up.


Professional Leadership for Professional Results
 
As soon as you select Hermes, you will be assigned an experienced Superintendent and Project Manager who knows how to get things done. In fact, our Superintendents have an average of 20 years experience on large commercial projects. Your project will run smoothly, and your valuable time spent managing your landscaping project will be minimal.
Design-Build is the standard for on-time, on-budget construction. Why trust your landscaping and irrigation needs to anyone else? We partner with Landscape Architects on a local and national level. Here is how it works: "As a project evolves, landscaping and irrigation will be one of the last things done, and it often comes up a little short as the project is constructed and the money is spent. With a Design-Build team, however, our team is there from the very beginning as an advocate for the Owner's vision, and the Landscape Architects design, as the project moves forward." You can take the hassle out of your project by using one contractor for all of your landscaping and irrigation system design planning, landscaping and irrigation system installation, seeding, sodding, and landscape maintenance needs.
