Landscape Installation
Landscaping is the process of transforming your outdoor property through the placement and establishment of living landscape features. Knowledge, skills and quality services, help bring together healthy soil, trees, shrubs, plants, lawns, garden beds and finishing materials to create an attractive and functional outdoor environment for your property.
Professional landscaping service includes preparing your property for your new landscape. Existing unwanted vegetation and loose material may need to be removed before new landscape features are introduced. The condition of your soil is also important because healthy plant growth requires having suitable soil containing nutrients as well as organic matter needed for plants to establish/grow.
For complete Duncan residential projects, see Residential Landscaping page.
Soil Preparation and Garden Beds
Our premium soil services provides the foundation for plant longevity. Existing soil conditions can vary considerably throughout the Cowichan Valley, and your property may require additional topsoil, compost, organic material to create suitable growing conditions.
We make your garden beds for trees, shrubs, perennials and seasonal plants. The depth and quality of your soil are important considerations because different plants have different growing requirements.
Once we have completed your planting, we apply mulch throughout your garden beds. Mulch services provide a clean finished appearance while helping retain your soil moisture and suppress unwanted weed growth. Organic mulch can also contribute organic matter to your soil as it gradually breaks down.

BEFORE & AFTER TRANSFORMATIONSTree and Shrub Installation
Trees and shrubs provide much of the permanent structure within your planted landscape. We only install healthy plant material, and by installing it correctly we give your new plants the best opportunity to establish themselves.
We position trees/shrubs allowing enough room to reach their mature size without becoming overcrowded. Newly installed plants need appropriate soil contact / consistent care while becoming established.
We install smaller shrubs / perennial plants around your larger specimens to create layered garden areas. Combining different heights, textures and seasonal characteristics of plants can provide interest around your landscape throughout the year.
Lawn Installation
Natural lawn is another common part of your landscape. New sod provides an immediate green surface & can quickly transform unfinished property areas.
Creating suitable growing conditions for your new lawn by providing quality soil to help your sod establish successfully. After completion, consistent watering and regular mowing help your new lawn become established.
We can also refresh your existing lawn as part of a larger landscape project. Improving thin / damaged areas can help create a consistent transition between established areas of your property and your newly completed garden areas.
Finishing a Landscape Installation
A professional landscape installation service should leave your property looking polished and complete while providing the ideal conditions for your plants and lawn to grow and mature successfully.
We also offer ongoing landscape maintenance services during the establishment period, when your new landscape requires extra attention. Regular watering, pruning, fertilizing, weed control and seasonal maintenance help your newly installed landscape develop into a healthy, thriving outdoor space that continues to improve as your trees, shrubs and plants mature.
How much does landscape design cost?
When designing your landscape, we plan how your garden beds, trees, shrubs and other planting will work together beside lawns, patios, walkways and other features. Your landscape design considers how you want to use the space, property conditions and how the finished garden will look / function.
Consultations are free, and a Survey & Assessment cost $195, project size dependant.
2D landscape plans start from $795, while detailed 3D landscape design starts from $1,500.
If you choose us to complete your landscape installation, the cost of your Survey & Assessment is credited toward the installation.
The design service provides dimensions, layout, material selection and planting plans, giving you a clear plan before construction begins.
