“If you plant it, they will come.”
Carleton Landscaping has designed, built and maintained native-plant landscapes across Vancouver since 2017. Our crew spans botany, landscape design and native-plant restoration — and we teach alongside the Burnaby School District, with fellow professionals and horticulture students. The work: consultation, landscape design, strata maintenance and ecological restoration, all native plants first.
Four services, one rule: the right plant in the right place.
