Our Yard Design Landscaping Services

Front Yard Landscape Design

Your front yard makes the first impression. We create welcoming, curb-appealing designs that complement your home's architecture while considering the mature trees and established plantings common throughout the UBC neighborhood, Main Mall area, and surrounding residential streets like those near Alma Street and West 10th Avenue. From modern minimalist designs to lush, layered plantings, we tailor every project to your vision.

Back Yard Landscape Design

Transform your backyard into a personal retreat. We design functional outdoor living spaces that take advantage of views toward the North Shore mountains or English Bay, incorporating hardscaping, seating areas, and strategic plantings. Whether your property overlooks Pacific Spirit Regional Park or sits in the quieter residential pockets of Wesbrook Place or Chancellor Place, we create designs that maximize your outdoor potential.

Flower Bed Design

Thoughtfully designed flower beds add color, texture, and seasonal interest to your property. We select plantings suited to Vancouver's maritime climate and the specific conditions of your yard, whether it's a sun-drenched south-facing bed or a shaded area beneath mature cedars and Douglas firs common to the UBC area.

"I was looking for someone who understood the specific challenges of landscaping near the ocean views and the mature trees around my property close to Wreck Beach. Blossom Landscaping nailed it. They designed a front yard that complements the neighborhood character while giving us the modern aesthetic we wanted. The team was professional, communicated clearly throughout the process, and delivered exactly what we discussed. Highly recommend if you're in the Point Grey or UBC area."

UBC's Frequently Asked Questions

What makes landscape design in the UBC area different from other Vancouver neighborhoods?

The UBC area, including Point Grey and the University Endowment Lands, has unique characteristics that influence design decisions. The proximity to Pacific Spirit Regional Park, the prevalence of mature Douglas firs and western red cedars, and the maritime climate create specific growing conditions. Additionally, many properties in this area have established trees and established plantings that we work with rather than against. The neighborhood's architectural styles—ranging from heritage homes near West 10th Avenue to modern infill near Wesbrook Village—also inform our design approach. We factor in views toward the North Shore mountains and English Bay, which many properties enjoy, and we're experienced with the drainage and soil conditions typical of this west side location.

How long does the landscape design process typically take?

From initial consultation to final design, the process usually takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the scope of your project. We start with a site visit to assess your property, discuss your goals, and understand any constraints. We then develop design concepts, which we refine based on your feedback. Once you approve the design, we can move into the installation phase. We provide same-day quotes so you can make quick decisions without unnecessary delays.

What plants thrive in the UBC and Point Grey area?

The maritime climate of the UBC neighborhood supports a wide range of plants. Native species like Oregon grape, salal, and sword ferns do exceptionally well. We also recommend Japanese maples, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, and ornamental grasses that thrive in the region's cool, moist conditions. For perennials, we favor shade-tolerant varieties like hellebores, astilbes, and hostas, as many properties in the area have significant tree cover. We always consider the specific microclimate of your property—whether it's exposed to ocean winds near Wreck Beach or sheltered in the residential areas near Chancellor Boulevard—when selecting plantings.

Do you work with existing trees and mature plantings?

Absolutely. Many properties in the UBC area have beautiful mature trees that are assets to preserve. We design around these existing features, using them as anchors for new plantings and hardscaping. We're experienced with working in shaded areas beneath established canopies and can suggest complementary plantings that thrive in those conditions. If tree removal or significant pruning is needed, we can discuss those options and their impact on your overall design.

Can you design a low-maintenance garden?

Yes. We specialize in creating beautiful gardens that don't demand constant attention. By selecting appropriate plants for your site conditions, incorporating mulch and hardscaping, and designing efficient irrigation or drainage solutions, we can create landscapes that are both stunning and manageable. This approach is especially popular with busy professionals in the Kitsilano and Point Grey areas who want beautiful outdoor spaces without the intensive upkeep.

What's included in your landscape design service?

Our design service includes an initial site assessment, consultation about your goals and preferences, concept development, design refinement based on your feedback, and a detailed plan that guides installation. We provide specifications for plantings, hardscaping materials, and layout. We can also discuss maintenance requirements and seasonal considerations so you understand what to expect from your new landscape.
