Home Garden - West Vancouver

This side garden was a neglected space that needed some attention to improve its use and beauty. We installed a half circle of paving with a gas fire for the children to enjoy and to provide a focal point for the deck above. Grasses and mixed evergreens have been used to provide much needed interest all year as you pass through the path.

Garden Escape - East Vancouver

This front garden had a weed infested lawn that never received enough sun to do well and required a lot of maintenance. We installed a paved area to use as a patio space. Most of the mature plant specimens were maintained with the addition of evergreen perennials and ground covers to extend the season of interest.
