Garden maintenance is the recurring upkeep that keeps your yard healthy, tidy, and visually appealing throughout the year. In Nanaimo’s coastal climate — with wet winters and vigorous spring growth — regular attention prevents gardens from becoming overgrown and protects your landscaping investment.
Unlike one-time cleanups, professional garden maintenance addresses the ongoing needs of your planting beds, shrubs, and garden structures so your outdoor space looks its best in every season.
We bring all necessary tools and equipment. You do not need to supply anything. Every visit is tailored to the actual condition of your landscape so you only pay for the work your yard needs.
We believe in transparent, straightforward pricing with no hidden fees or unnecessary minimums.
Most Nanaimo homeowners with average-sized gardens find that monthly maintenance costs range from $300–$600 depending on property layout and service frequency. We provide clear quotes after a free on-site consultation.
We proudly serve residential and commercial properties throughout Nanaimo and neighboring communities. During your free consultation, we confirm that your property falls within our regular service radius.

Yard maintenance is more than pulling weeds. Proper pruning, fertilizing, and plant care require knowledge that protects your investment rather than damaging it. Our team treats your garden with the same care we would our own.
We do not lock clients into contracts. We use regular service agreements that are renewed annually, giving you flexibility and transparency on any pricing updates.
5-star rating across independent review platforms (Birdeye, 16 reviews) · A+ rating with the BBB
Phil did a spring lawn cleanup last week which included dethatching, grass cutting & a great deal of raking. He did a very thorough job as he went over the lawn twice with the dethatcher to remove all the moss. We were very pleased with the quality of his work & would not hesitate to hire Phil & Creative by Design Landscaping in the future.
Phil did a great job, he was fast and thorough. We highly recommend Phil and his services.
Excellent workmanship and care put into all the details of my hardscape. Phil can be trusted to do a thorough assessment and beautiful job. We had Phil do a paving stone patio and boulder retaining walls, and had him back this year to do some maintenance. Phil is prompt – comes when he says he will – and works hard to make everything look fantastic.
Garden maintenance covers the recurring upkeep that keeps a yard healthy and tidy — weeding, pruning, shrub and flower planting, mulching, fertilizing, and seasonal cleanups. In Nanaimo, most homeowners book it either as a weekly seasonal visit or a one-time cleanup, depending on what the yard needs after our wet Vancouver Island winters.
A full-service visit typically covers weeding and cultivation of planting beds, pruning and shaping of shrubs and hedges, mulching, planting of annuals and perennials, fertilizing, and debris removal. We price it at $85/hr with no flat minimum booking fee, so a quick cleanup and a full weekly package are both easy to book.
Look for local experience, real reviews, and clear pricing. We’ve been maintaining Nanaimo yards for 20+ years, offer a free consultation before any work starts, and quote plainly by the hour rather than locking you into a minimum spend. Check our 5-star ratings on independent platforms and our A+ BBB rating.
It depends on the yard. Most Nanaimo clients choose either a weekly visit through the growing season or seasonal spring and fall cleanups. Because of our mild, wet climate, gardens here can grow quickly in spring and become overgrown by mid-summer if neglected. We’ll recommend a schedule based on what your landscape actually needs during the free consultation.
No — our crews bring all equipment needed for weeding, pruning, planting, and cleanup. You don’t need to own or supply anything. We also handle all debris hauling and disposal.
Our garden maintenance starts at $85 per hour per person with no flat minimum. Debris disposal is approximately $160 per truck load. For the average Nanaimo home, monthly maintenance typically ranges from $300–$600 depending on property size and visit frequency. We provide a clear, itemized quote after your free consultation.
Both. We offer one-time cleanups for overgrown gardens, spring startups, and fall preparation, as well as recurring weekly or bi-weekly maintenance packages. There is no contract required for either option.
Call today to schedule your free on-site assessment. We’ll evaluate your garden, discuss your goals, and provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
