Landscape Design

Our team of garden designers are highly experienced in choosing the right plants and combining them properly to create the perfect combination of colorful flowers. With our vast knowledge of plant growth cycles, average sunlight intensity, and other growth-related factors, we will design the perfect garden for you. There are a great number of garden designs you could pick from depending on different home layouts. For instance, a small backyard would demand a trellis or vertical garden. In garden planning, the design makes the difference between an appealing, organized garden and a haphazard-looking garden. 

Garden and Landscaping Installation

Installing your garden is where the bulk of the work lies, and if done right, it lays the foundation for a successful garden. Garden Installation is a broad term for all the processes involved in setting up a garden for the first time. It is the foundation of your entire nursery of plants, flowers, and shrubbery. Any mistakes made in this stage can have an impact on the entire garden, and that is why we recommend the services offered by professionals with extensive knowledge and experience in garden installation. Our Vancouver landscapers put in the best care into ensuring that every single aspect of this stage goes smoothly. 

The processes involved in the garden installation include:

Site and Bed Preparation

We take the site and bed prep of our gardens very seriously because it is the base for all of the plants. A well-prepared bed will ensure that the plants grow well. In preparing the garden site for planting, the right soil depending on the plant needs to be sourced and used to fill the plant beds. We only make use of the best of soils containing all of the essential nutrients so that the plants will lack nothing for growth.

Drainage Creation 

Creating a proper drainage system is important to avoid flooding in your garden and losing your plants. It also serves the purpose of curtailing erosion and a swampy garden. It is of utmost importance during the installation process to prevent erosion and to ensure simple and easy maintenance. 

Sourcing Plant Materials 

The quality of the plants you use in your garden are as important as the content of the soil. Low-quality plant material in an enriched soil is a waste of resources. We are cautious with our plant material sourcing, and that is why we get our bulbs, shrubs, and trees from the best nurseries in Vancouver. We never sacrifice quality when it comes to this. 

Transplanting 

Some plant materials are too fragile to be planted in the permanent site. These plants are first planted in nurseries under controlled conditions and later transplanted into the garden. We take extreme caution while transplanting grass, herbs, and shrubs, to avoid hurting them. Also, our team ensures that they are transplanted perfectly into the garden. 

Mulching 

Mulching is another important part of the garden installation. It involves using broad leaves or hardwood flakes to cover up young plants. This is done to protect them from the harsh glare of the sun. This helps the plants to retain their moisture content and it also adds organic matter to the soil for better growth.

After Care Instructions 

In cases where our client doesn't require any maintenance visits, we leave them with after care instructions. These instructions include time for watering and how much water is enough for your plants. We want to make sure that after we do the work in installing your garden, you are able to keep it alive and thriving for years to come!

Landscaping Maintenance Visits

The one thing that all beautiful gardens have in common is the fact that they are properly and regularly maintained! If you don't keep up with your garden regularly and do it in the right way, the flowers, vegetables, and shrubbery will begin to die. Weeds would sprout up while leaves and branches would grow beyond their boundaries, creating an unpleasant view and an unhealthy environment for your greenery. We don't just help you design and install your garden; maintenance is our forte. We offer regular or scheduled maintenance visits to ensure that your garden is always in tip-top shape. Our maintenance services include regular weeding, pruning, and trimming of leaves and branches. 

Weeding

The weeding process involves removing any plant that shouldn't be in your garden. Periodic weeding measures keep these weeds from competing with the garden plants for soil nutrients. After all, the only thing you want to see in your finished nursery are beautiful, healthy plants, and nothing more!

Trimming and Pruning Shrubs and Hedges 

Trimming and pruning services are essential because properly trimmed hedges add to the appeal of the garden. Our team at Vancouver Lawn Care treat it with utmost importance. Our gardeners will trim your overgrown shrubs, hedges, and trees with exceptional quality and speed. We are professional trimmers and can trim hedges to look good and create a certain artistic appeal.

Garden and Landscaping Fertilization Visits

The garden plants need regular fertilization, at least until they have passed the first year of growth. We offer regular fertilization visits, which include assessing which plants need nutrients, what your plants may be deficient in, and what to give them to resolve the deficiency. 

Garden Cleanup

Gardening is messy work, especially after pruning and trimming tree branches and leaves or removing weeds. We take care of our mess each time we work on your garden. We take great pride in carrying out garden maintenance activities and leaving the garden cleaner than when we got there! Our services include leaf removal, debris removal, and so much more.
