Our Design Client Process

1) Discovery Call and Site Visit

We start by clarifying goals, budget, and timelines, then meet on-site to assess sun and shade patterns, soil conditions, drainage tendencies, existing trees, and access. We also note City of Vancouver considerations like visibility, setbacks, and strata needs. You’ll receive a clear scope, and schedule.

2) Site Analysis and Base Plan

We document grades, planting areas, microclimates, and problem spots like soggy corners or drought-prone beds. Measurements and site photos become a scaled base plan that anchors every decision and keeps the project accurate.

3) Detailed Planting Plan and Specifications

The final plan includes plant quantities, sizes, spacing, and seasonal interest notes. We specify soil building, including topsoil depths, compost rates, and mulch type and depth, so the garden establishes quickly and stays healthy. Maintenance guidance outlines pruning windows, cutbacks, and seasonal care.

4) Pre-Installation Review

Before work begins, we walk through the plan, confirm plant lists, soil volumes, access, and staging, and align on the schedule. You’ll receive a quote and a start date so expectations are clear.

5) Softscape Installation

Our team prepares the site with selective removals and precise bed shaping. We build living soil to specification, fine-grade, and place trees, shrubs, perennials, groundcovers, and lawn alternatives exactly to plan. Mulch is applied for moisture retention and weed suppression. Cleanliness and communication are maintained throughout.

6) Final Walkthrough and Care Guide

We complete the project with a thorough walkthrough on-site. Together, we review plant health, establishment watering expectations, seasonal maintenance, and any fine-tuning opportunities. You’ll receive a concise care guide, so you know exactly how to keep the garden thriving.

Frequently Asked Vancouver Design Questions

Can you design a low-maintenance garden?

Yes. We use right-plant-right-place principles with drought-tolerant native species like salal, sword ferns, and ornamental grasses. Our designs incorporate layered planting for weed suppression, deep mulch for moisture retention, and hydrozoning to group plants by water needs. This approach works across Vancouver neighborhoods from Kitsilano to Mount Pleasant, adapting to Vancouver's clay-heavy soils and Zone 8b climate.

How do you boost curb appeal without high maintenance?

Simple bed shapes, evergreen structure, and drought-tolerant layering create impact with minimal upkeep. We add modern edging, strategic hardscaping with patios or walkways, and targeted landscape lighting. This combination enhances your home's street presence in neighborhoods like Shaughnessy, Dunbar, or Grandview-Woodland without requiring constant maintenance.

How do you create privacy from neighboring homes?

Layered planting with evergreen shrubs and trees, selective hedging, and strategic bed mounding creates privacy without feeling enclosed. We select native species suited to Vancouver's climate that provide year-round screening. This works particularly well in closer neighborhoods like the West End or Strathcona where properties are near adjacent homes.

Can you design kid- or pet-friendly backyards?

Yes. We incorporate durable native plants, lawn alternatives like clover or moss, soft pathways, and protected planting zones. This keeps play areas safe while maintaining the low-maintenance aesthetic your family needs across Vancouver's diverse neighborhoods.

How long does garden installation take?

Most softscape installations take 1–3 weeks depending on size, site access, and season. We provide a detailed schedule with milestones before starting work, ensuring minimal disruption to your Burnaby, Vancouver, or North Shore property.

What is landscape design and how does it work in Vancouver, BC?

Landscape design plans your outdoor space—planting layouts, bed shapes, screening, circulation, and soil preparation—tailored to Vancouver's Zone 8b climate, local bylaws, and site conditions. We deliver concepts, a final planting plan, and specifications for a clean, predictable build. Whether you're in Kerrisdale, Cambie, or East Vancouver, our designs work with your property's unique microclimate and drainage challenges.
