"We hired Blossom Landscaping to redesign our backyard in the British Properties, and they absolutely nailed it. The team understood our vision for creating an outdoor entertaining space that takes advantage of our views toward Mount Baker and the Lions Gate Bridge. They selected plants that thrive in our zone and designed the layout to flow perfectly with our home's architecture. The installation was professional and clean, and they finished on schedule. What impressed me most was how they explained their design choices and why certain plants would work better than others in our specific microclimate. Highly recommend them to anyone in West Vancouver."

Marcus T. - British Properties

"Living near Dundarave Pier, we wanted our front yard to reflect the coastal charm of our neighborhood while being low-maintenance. Blossom Landscaping created a beautiful design using native plants like salal and Oregon grape, along with some stunning Japanese maples. The team was knowledgeable about what grows well in our maritime climate and delivered exactly what we wanted. They got us a quote the same day we called, which was refreshing. The installation crew was respectful of our property and the work quality was excellent. Our neighbors have been asking for their number!"

West Vancouver's Frequently Asked Questions

What plants grow best in West Vancouver's climate?

West Vancouver sits in Plant Hardiness Zone 8a with a temperate maritime climate featuring mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers. Native plants and species adapted to acidic soils thrive here. Excellent choices include evergreen Sword Fern, Salal, Oregon Grape, Rhododendron, Camellia, Japanese maple, Western red cedar, and various ferns. These plants are well-suited to our consistent moisture and acidic soil conditions. We also recommend Hellebores, Pieris, and black mondo grass for added variety. Fall is ideal for planting spring bulbs like tulips and daffodils. Our team can recommend the best plant combinations for your specific property and design goals.

How do you handle West Vancouver's challenging terrain?

West Vancouver's unique geography—with steep rocky outcroppings, waterfront locations, and properties situated on the slopes of the Coast Mountains—requires specialized expertise. Our team has extensive experience designing and installing landscapes on challenging sites. We assess slope stability, drainage patterns, and soil conditions to create functional designs that work with your terrain rather than against it. Whether your property is in the elevated British Properties with panoramic views or a Caulfeild waterfront home, we have the knowledge and skills to create stunning landscapes that enhance your site's natural characteristics.

Can you design a landscape that maximizes our mountain and ocean views?

Absolutely. Many West Vancouver properties offer breathtaking vistas of the Coast Mountains, Howe Sound, Vancouver Island, and the Lower Mainland. Our design process specifically considers these views. We position plantings and hardscape elements to frame and enhance sightlines rather than obstruct them. Whether your home is in Chartwell, Canterbury, the British Properties, or another neighborhood, we design landscapes that complement your views and create visual depth. We also consider seasonal changes and how your garden will look throughout the year from your key viewing areas.

What's the best time to start a landscape design project in West Vancouver?

While you can begin landscape design planning year-round, the best time for installation is typically spring (April-May) or fall (September-October). These seasons provide ideal growing conditions with moderate temperatures and adequate moisture. However, fall is particularly excellent for planting spring bulbs and establishing perennials before winter. We can discuss the optimal timing for your specific project based on your design goals and plant selections. Contact us for a same-day quote and we'll recommend the best timeline for your West Vancouver landscape.

How do you ensure plants will thrive in our acidic soils?

West Vancouver's soils are naturally acidic, which is perfect for many beautiful plants but requires understanding which species will flourish . During our site assessment, we evaluate your soil conditions and recommend plants that are naturally suited to your property's specific pH and drainage characteristics. We also discuss soil amendments if needed to support your design vision. Our plant selections—native species and proven performers in our region—are chosen specifically because they thrive in West Vancouver's soil conditions without requiring extensive modification.

Do you work on properties throughout West Vancouver?

Yes, we serve all of West Vancouver's neighborhoods, including the British Properties, Ambleside, Dundarave, Caulfeild, Horseshoe Bay, Altamont, Bayridge, Chartwell, Rockridge, Whitby Estates, Sentinel Hill, Eagle Harbour, and beyond. Each neighborhood has its own character and specific landscape opportunities. Whether your home is near Lighthouse Park, Ambleside Park, or the West Vancouver Centennial Seawalk, we understand the local context and design accordingly.
