Ascent Apartments Landscape Construction

Elevating the Exterior of a Resident-Facing Property
Ascent Apartments is a commercial apartment community in Seaside, CA, where the landscape needed to help the exterior feel more welcoming, and more connected to how residents use the property every day.
With a $200K project budget, K&D carried the commercial landscape scope through planting, irrigation, finish details, and outdoor seating areas. The work had to improve curb appeal, support daily resident use, and create a cleaner, more intentional experience around the buildings and shared exterior spaces.
The Scope
K&D supported the commercial landscape scope for Ascent Apartments in Seaside, CA.
The work has included:
● Commercial landscape construction
● Site planting and landscape layout
● Irrigation installation and coordination
● Outdoor seating areas
● Planting around apartment buildings, walkways, and shared spaces
● Groundcover, mulch, and finish details
● Coordination around access points and resident-facing areas
● Final landscape presentation for turnover

The Challenge
At Ascent Apartments, the landscape had to work close to the places residents see and use every day.
The work sat close to buildings, sidewalks, entries, windows, parking areas, and shared spaces. That means the work had to be clean, coordinated, and sensitive to how residents, visitors, and maintenance teams would move through the property after turnover.
K&D had to carry the landscape scope through with field coordination, schedule awareness, and attention to the finish details that help a commercial apartment property feel complete.
The K&D Approach
K&D approached the project with the structure commercial construction requires and the care an apartment property needs: steady coordination, organized sequencing, and finish details shaped around how people use the site every day.
The team focused on:
-
Keeping the landscape scope aligned with the broader construction schedule
-
Installing planting, irrigation, mulch, and finish details cleanly around the property
-
Placing outdoor seating areas where they supported daily resident use
-
Coordinating work near walkways, entries, access points, and shared exterior areas
-
Carrying the work through to a clean, complete handoff
This is where The K&D Way showed up through fundamentals like Work Smart, Pay Attention To The Details, Honor Commitments, and Make Quality Personal.
The Result
The finished landscape helped Ascent Apartments feel more complete, more welcoming, and better connected to daily resident life.
Planting, irrigation, mulch, finish details, and outdoor seating areas helped elevate the property’s exterior while giving residents cleaner, more usable shared spaces.
For K&D, the win was in the execution: a commercial apartment landscape project that improved curb appeal, supported resident experience, and gave the exterior the clean, finished standard the property needed.
