Landscape Architect — Turf Handover
Define the finished purpose, reference levels, underlying material condition and the evidence required by the receiving operation. Geometry alone does not establish structural or agronomic performance.
This reference assembles relevant extracts from the guide library. It is general project planning, not a local project report, verified specification or translated technical publication.
Finished Surface Handover
A finished-surface handover records the surface that has been delivered and the evidence supporting it. It should identify what was checked and what lies outside the grading scope.
Before moving material
Agree the finished purpose and acceptance responsibilities.
Receiving operation and checks
Release the area to use or the next construction stage when accepted. Retain unresolved items and limits alongside the acceptance record.
The term finished should not imply certification beyond the checks actually performed.

A landscape-surface handover connects soil levels with the intended paths, planting and drainage. The growing layer and structural features need their own acceptance checks.
Before moving material
Confirm finished levels and the planting-medium requirements.
Receiving operation and checks
Hand over to the planting or hardscape team with remaining work identified. Inspect thresholds, tree zones and drainage transitions.
A visual landscape concept is not an issued construction design.

A sports-turf handover should identify the formation, drainage and growing-layer system delivered. Playing-surface appearance alone does not establish venue acceptance.
Before moving material
Obtain the applicable project and sport requirements.
Receiving operation and checks
Complete the venue's inspection and release process. Retain measured levels and relevant construction records.
No sport or venue compliance is claimed from illustration or grading alone.
