Landscape design isn't picking plants from a catalogue — it's solving problems. Where does the water go when it rains for three weeks straight? How do you use a sloped lot that's currently unusable? How do you turn 800 square feet of mud into an outdoor living space your family actually wants? We design landscapes that work with your property's specific conditions — grade, drainage, sun exposure, soil — and then we build them with our own crew. One team, one vision, no miscommunication between the designer and the builder.
On-site property assessment — we evaluate drainage patterns, soil conditions, sun exposure, existing features, and the grade of your lot before we sketch a single line.
Concept design with material selections, phased budget breakdown, and a clear scope document — you know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before we start.
Full hardscape integration — retaining walls, patios, pathways, fencing, and drainage are designed as a system, not individual projects bolted together.
Plant selection for BC's climate — native and adapted species chosen for your specific sun, shade, moisture, and soil conditions. No nursery impulse buys that die by October.
Construction by our own crew — the team that designed your landscape builds it. No handoff to subcontractors, no lost-in-translation details.
We design for the Lower Mainland's reality — 1,200mm of annual rain, clay-heavy soils, slopes that move, and summers that get drier every year. Every design starts with drainage and grading because water management is the foundation of every landscape in BC. We integrate hardscape and softscape as one system: retaining walls that create usable terraces, patios that connect to the house at proper grade, garden beds that hold without washing out, and pathways that drain instead of pooling. We use native and climate-adapted plants — sword fern, salal, heather, Japanese maple, ornamental grasses — that thrive here without constant irrigation or replacement.
Full landscape design and installation in the Lower Mainland typically ranges from $15,000 to $80,000+ for a complete yard transformation, depending on property size, scope (softscape only vs. full hardscape integration), and material choices. Design consultation and concept drawings are included in our project pricing — we don't charge separately for the design phase on projects we build.
It starts with an on-site consultation where we walk your property, discuss how you use your outdoor space, and identify site conditions — drainage, sun exposure, soil, existing features worth keeping. From there, we develop a concept with material selections and a phased budget. You approve the design before any work begins. The entire process from first visit to construction start typically takes 2 to 4 weeks.
Absolutely — and we recommend it for larger projects. We design the full vision upfront so every phase connects properly, then build in stages that make practical sense. Typically: grading, drainage, and hardscape first (retaining walls, patio, pathways), then fencing and structures, then softscape (sod, garden beds, planting). Each phase is functional on its own so you're never left with a half-finished yard.
We design and build landscapes in Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, New Westminster, Coquitlam, and across the Lower Mainland.
