Built to Last, Designed to Feel Like Home
We believe outdoor spaces should be as solid as they are beautiful. Established in 2019, Square Yards Landscaping is a landscape contractor based in Coquitlam, and we specialize in hardscaping — patios, retaining walls, decks, fences, and driveways built to handle our wet Pacific Northwest winters without cutting corners.
Landscaping and garden design round out the picture, but it's the construction underneath — proper drainage, base prep, and materials chosen for our climate — that makes an outdoor space actually last. From the first sketch to the final walkthrough, we guide you through every step so the process feels simple, not overwhelming.
How It Started
Square Yards Landscaping started in 2019, when I decided to focus on something I was genuinely passionate about — creating outdoor spaces that are as usable as they are beautiful. We spent our first couple of years based in New Westminster, building a reputation one patio and retaining wall at a time, before moving into the Tri-Cities, where we're based today.
I studied sustainable resource management and am currently continuing my education in project management — a background that shapes how we build. Proper drainage, solid base prep, and materials that hold up to our wet Pacific Northwest winters aren't an afterthought, they're the whole point. And as we take on larger design-build projects, that project management training means your job stays organized, on schedule, and clearly communicated from start to finish.

Client Testimonials
“Would highly recommend Square Yards and will call again. Michael and his team were very professional, put in a lot of hard work and got the job done in the time frame and quote given. We had a lot of hardscape and landscape work done by Square Yards and we are very happy with the quality of the work and quality of the materials used. The scope of work was:
New Fences installed, Paver Patio built and installed, new gravol pit with paver border installed. Many yards of bark mulch spread through out the property, retaining wall for veggie garden built and installed. New shrubs and plants installed and lots of river rock spread throughout the property. Very big job and was refreshing to see a crew arrive early in the morning working hard all day and working with pride. Old school work ethic. Could use more of that now a days. 10/10”

“My entire back yard was course river rock with a cedar patio over the rock on one side. I had Michael remove all the rock and soil and install 12 x 24 paver slabs. Since my yard is very uneven in slope and elevation, I wanted an easy maintenance and usable yard without having to completely tear out the existing sidewalk and raise the elevation of the yard while still having good drainage and tying in to the existing side walk and perimeter Alan block wall and fences. He and his friend Dorian did a great job. I was very impressed with his work ethic. There was no way to to get a machine in so all the rock and soil as well as bring in the new material had to be done by hand, shovel and wheel barrels out to the back lane. He was easy to talk to, listened to what i wanted to accomplish and came up with a plan to get it done. I had a few questions and change request while the work was in progress and he accommodated those without question and finished the project within the budget he quoted and a day two prior to what he anticipated. I have another project I had him quote and will get him to do it in the near future, so yes I would recommend him.
Side note: prior to my start date his truck, trailer and equipment were unfortunately stolen. He could have put the entire job on hold or walked away but he found a way to rent, purchase whatever he needed and move forward without hesitation. As a tradesman myself, that customer service and and work ethic really impressed me. Thanks Michael.”

“We are happy with our experience with Square Yards Landscaping. Mike gave us some expert advice and ideas about our project. Mike and his woker Sebastian replaced our old wooden fence, built a corner pergola and added new paving stones for us which looks great.
We are very happy with how it all turned out, very reasonable pricing.”
