Hardscaping refers to the built, structural elements of your yard — patios, retaining walls, driveways, decks, and fencing. Landscaping (or softscaping) covers the living elements — plants, lawns, and garden beds. Most projects benefit from both working together, which is why we offer full landscape design & build alongside our hardscaping specialty.

Patio costs vary based on size, material (concrete paver vs. natural stone), and site prep needed, but most residential patios range from a few thousand dollars for a small paver patio to significantly more for larger natural stone installations. We provide a free, itemized quote after an on-site visit.

In most Metro Vancouver municipalities, retaining walls over a certain height (commonly around 1 metre / 3-4 feet) require a permit and engineered drawings. We can advise on your specific municipality's requirements as part of your consultation.

Concrete pavers with proper joint sand and edge restraint, installed over a compacted base with good drainage, perform best in our region — the base and drainage matter more than the paver material itself when it comes to long-term durability.

Smaller hardscape projects (a single patio or walkway) often take 1-2 weeks; full landscape design-build projects combining multiple services can take several weeks to a few months, depending on scope and permitting.

Yes — we provide free, no-obligation quotes for all landscape construction and hardscaping projects.

While most hardscape work happens spring through fall, proper planning can start any time of year — and booking your quote and design phase during the off-season often means faster scheduling once construction season begins.

We serve the Tri-Cities (Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore, and Belcarra), Burnaby, New Westminster, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, Vancouver and the rest of the Lower Mainland.

Yes — we warranty hardscape installations (patios, retaining walls, driveways, decks, fencing) for 2 years, and softscape installations (sod, planting, garden beds) for 1 year, both from the date of project completion.
