Landscaping Services in Imus, Cavite

Imus is Cavite’s de jure capital and one of the Philippines’ most economically dynamic cities — 496,794 residents across 97 barangays, growing at 4.46% annually. But what sets Imus apart for landscaping is Vermosa: Ayala Land’s 752-hectare flagship estate combining premium residential villages, a world-class sports complex, and the active living lifestyle that defines modern suburban aspiration. From The Courtyards’ exclusive enclaves to Lancaster New City’s 20,000-family township, Imus offers the full spectrum of landscaping opportunity.

Halamanan provides landscape services throughout Imus and the Vermosa corridor.

Vermosa Estate — Premium Market

Vermosa is Ayala Land’s fourth-largest estate, spanning 752 hectares across Imus and Dasmariñas. Built around the “Active Living Experience” concept, it combines residential villages, commercial districts, and the Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub — creating a community where landscape quality must match world-class facilities.

The Courtyards by Ayala Land Premier

The pinnacle of Imus residential landscaping. The Courtyards offers lots from 470 to 1,947 sqm at P30,000-55,000 per square meter — among the highest land values in Cavite outside Metro Manila.

What makes it unique:

• Only 8 lots per courtyard enclave — maximum exclusivity and privacy
• Phase 1A covers 34.5 hectares with 219 lots averaging 693 sqm
• Phase 3C offers 500-745 sqm lots with Q1 2027 turnover
• Density of just 7-8 lots per hectare

Properties at this investment level demand sophisticated landscape design: structured layouts, premium materials, and execution matching Ayala’s exacting standards.

Avida Parklane Settings Vermosa

Avida’s second residential development in Vermosa — 12 hectares of modern suburban living. House models Macy S3 and Trista S3 offer floor areas of 67 and 85 sqm respectively, priced from P3.5M to P20M.

Amenities include swimming pools, basketball court, clubhouse, and green spaces. Proximity to Ayala Malls Vermosa and De La Salle Santiago Zobel adds lifestyle value. New homeowners here need complete landscape installation from the ground up.

Avida Verra Settings Vermosa

Avida’s first house-and-lot development in Vermosa — a 10-hectare gated community with units from P6.5M to P18.3M. The 5,675 sqm Central Amenity Area includes pools, basketball court, children’s playground, and landscaped parks.

Strategic location on Daang Hari Road means 30 minutes to Alabang, 45 minutes to BGC. These accessibility-conscious buyers expect quality matching their investment.

Caleia by Alveo

Alveo’s emerging neighborhood within Vermosa — a natural haven emphasizing calm and well-being. Premium positioning within the Ayala ecosystem means landscape expectations to match.

Landscaping in Imus: What to Consider

Premium vs. Volume Markets

Imus spans the full spectrum. The Courtyards’ P30,000-55,000/sqm lots demand investment-matching landscapes. Lancaster’s 20,000 families need practical, maintainable designs. Understanding which market you’re serving determines everything from plant selection to hardscape materials.

Vermosa Standards

Ayala developments maintain strict landscape guidelines. The active living concept means outdoor spaces should enable exercise, recreation, and wellness — not just look attractive. Designs must pass HOA approval and complement the sports-oriented community character.

Daang Hari Corridor

Vermosa sits along Daang Hari Road, connecting to Muntinlupa and Las Piñas. This corridor experiences the urban heat island effect. Strategic shade tree placement and heat-tolerant plant selection become essential for properties along major roads.

New Construction Reality

Many Imus properties sit on recently developed land. Construction backfill is typically compacted, nutrient-poor, and hostile to plant roots. Soil testing and amendment is foundational — skip it and plants fail regardless of design quality.

Dry season	December - May

Why Imus Makes Sense

Dual Market Opportunity

Imus offers both premium and volume markets in one city:

• Premium: Vermosa’s P30-55K/sqm lots with sophisticated expectations
• Volume: Lancaster’s 20,000+ families needing practical solutions

This diversity allows market positioning across segments.

Vermosa Growth Trajectory

Vermosa is still building out. The Courtyards Phase 3C delivers Q1 2027. Avida continues expanding. The sports hub attracts national teams. Each phase brings new homeowners needing landscape installation — and a growing maintenance base.

Infrastructure Momentum

CALAX Imus interchange opens Q3 2025. The CAVITEX-CALAX link follows. LRT-1 extension will eventually reach the Bacoor-Imus corridor. Each infrastructure milestone boosts accessibility and property values.

Fragmented Competition

Few established landscaping firms base specifically in Imus. Most competitors operate from Dasmariñas, Bacoor, or Metro Manila. The Vermosa premium market is particularly underserved by local specialists.

Economic Foundation

As Cavite’s capital and one of the Philippines’ most economically dynamic cities, Imus has the financial base to support professional landscaping services. The 6,636 businesses and P1.26 billion annual revenue indicate sustained purchasing power.

Accessibility

MCX and CALAX connections (once complete) make Imus reachable from our Santa Rosa base in 40-50 minutes. Vermosa’s direct Daang Hari access simplifies logistics for this premium market.
