Gardens
Custom, low-maintenance gardens — designed and built by one crew for over ten years. Call (555) 010-2030.
Built here.
Services
Everything the yard needs, under one roof.
Design and installation from the same crew — no hand-offs, no finger-pointing between the person who drew it and the person who built it.
Garden design
Scaled plans for your actual yard — sun, shade, drainage, and how you use the space. You approve every plant first.
Installation
Our own crew builds what we draw. The people who designed it plant it.
Planting plans
Plant-only packages for DIY builds: bed-by-bed species, spacing, and quantities for any nursery.
Patios & pathways
Stone, pavers, and gravel on a proper base — level through Vancouver rain, curved where they should curve.
Masonry & retaining walls
Walls that hold soil and look like they grew there. Engineered where height requires it.
Decks & fences
Cedar decks and fences built straight, finished for wet-coast weather.
Landscape lighting
Low-voltage lighting for paths, trees, and one or two moments of drama after dark.
Water features
Small fountains and pondless falls sized for city lots — sound without the upkeep headache.
Perennial & edible gardens
Beds that return every year, with herbs and vegetables folded in so the pretty garden feeds you too.
Track record
Ten years of Vancouver soil under our nails.

Strata & small commercial

Questions
Asked all the time.
How much does a garden design cost in Vancouver? +
It depends on yard size and scope. A planting refresh costs far less than a full design-and-build with patios and walls. Call us and we will tell you honestly whether your budget fits your wish list. Numbers on this page are samples only.
Do you handle permits? +
For most garden work, none are needed. Beds, plantings, and patios rarely need permits in Vancouver. Taller retaining walls and some drainage work can — we flag it at the site visit and handle the paperwork for what we build.
How long does a typical project take? +
Design takes two to four weeks; builds vary. A planting bed can be done in days. A full yard with patios, walls, and lighting usually runs three to six weeks of build time.
Do you maintain gardens after the build? +
We design for low maintenance, not for a maintenance contract. Right plants in the right spots, a seasonal care sheet, and first-year questions answered.
Where do you work? +
Vancouver and the surrounding Lower Mainland. Based in Vancouver, BC — regularly in Burnaby, Richmond, North and West Vancouver, Coquitlam, New Westminster, and Surrey.
