Garden Design and Install
Whether you are looking for a new garden bed, or simply a makeover of an existing bed, we are here to help. We aim to create gardens that provide ecological benefits. We do this by incorporating pollinator-friendly, drought-tolerant, and native plants. With these principles in mind, we can help you create a garden that suits your needs.

Lawn Alternatives
The conventional lawn is an idea of the past! Consider replacing your lawn with a lawn alternative. Lawn alternatives consume fewer resources, require less maintenance, and provide ecological benefits. Many lawn alternatives are also chafer beetle resistant, a common pest in the lower mainland.
-
Pollinator Garden
We certainly bring the bees to the yard with these gardens! Enhance your gardens biodiversity and create foraging habitat for all pollinators including bees, butterflies, bats, and many more.

Veggie Gardens
What we eat and how we eat it has a huge impact on nature. One way to combat climate change is by growing your own veggies to provide food security in a sustainable manner. We’ve got you covered, from veggie box installation, to harvest time and all of the maintenance in between.

Rain Garden
The endless amount of impermeable surfaces lead to serious problems such as flooding. As rainwater travels though the urban landscape it picks up contaminants such as oils and chemicals that would end up in our waterways, negatively impacting the aquatic life. A rain garden can help divert the excess water and even filter out the contaminants. These gardens create resilience as we experience more abnormal weather patterns due to climate change.

Invasive Species Removal
While many ornamental plants are not from this region, an invasive plant is one that has a detrimental effect on its new environment. It outcompetes native species that play an important role in the ecosystem. Managing invasive species prevents them from spreading any further. It also promotes a healthy native plant population and helps the critters that take shelter and forage in these native plants. We can help you identify and remove the invasive species on your property.

Native Plants
Consider adding native plants to your landscape. Native plants are more resilient and provide the native fauna with food and shelter. They are easier to care for and help restore the ecosystem.
-
Meadow
Consider restoring unkept spaces such as boulevards and monoculture lawns with a native plant meadow. Meadows bring fabulous colour and texture to the garden with little to no maintenance. They also provide shelter and food for many critters.

Soil Amendment
A healthy plant starts with healthy soil! The addition of mulch, and/or compost teas, are beneficial as they reduce weeds, increase water retention, and add nutrients back into the soil. There are many different types of soil amendments, so contact us to see which one will work best for your garden.
