Our Services

As a full-service landscape contractor, Square Yards Landscaping handles landscape construction from first sketch to final walkthrough — for homeowners across the Tri-Cities, Burnaby, New Westminster, and Vancouver. Every project starts with a real design, whether that's a hand-drawn concept sketch, a detailed AutoCAD site plan, or a 3D SketchUp model so you can see your space before we break ground. We design and build complete outdoor living spaces, combining durable hardscaping with thoughtful planting, lighting, and turf so your backyard renovation or front yard landscaping works as one cohesive design. One contractor, one crew, one point of contact from concept to completion.

A patio is only as good as what's underneath it. As a patio builder and landscape construction specialist, we design and install custom paver and natural stone patios and walkways with proper base prep and drainage, so they stay level for decades instead of settling, shifting, or pooling water after our region's heavy winter rainfall. The groundwork is what makes the difference, whether it's a quiet backyard refresh or a full front-entry rebuild.

Poor grading and erosion don't fix themselves — they get worse every rainy season. As a retaining wall contractor, we build engineered retaining walls with proper drainage, base compaction, and wall block or natural stone suited to local soil conditions. A wall that fails is more expensive than one built right the first time — something we see often on sloped lots throughout Port Moody and the surrounding hillside neighbourhoods.

Daily vehicle loads expose weak installation fast — heaving, settling, and drainage problems all start at the base. As a paver installer specializing in interlocking pavers, Square Yards Landscaping installs concrete pavers, natural stone, and permeable paving systems backed by a proper compacted base and edge restraint many contractors skip.

Low-maintenance artificial turf for lawns, pet areas, and putting greens — ideal for the shaded, rain-heavy yards common to this region. We work with a range of suppliers to fit different budgets, from premium options like Rymar and Bella Turf to more affordable product lines, with a variety of pile heights, blade styles, and multiple shades of green so your yard doesn't read as a flat, uniform "fake grass" green. A proper base and drainage layer keep it looking natural year-round, with no mowing, watering, or dead patches.

As an outdoor living contractor, we design and build custom wood and composite decks with careful attention to footings, ledger attachment, drainage, and code compliance — details that matter more here than in drier climates, since a rushed build shows up fast during our rainy shoulder seasons. A well-built deck is one of the highest-value renovation projects for any Coquitlam-area home.

A well-built pergola turns a bare patio or deck into a defined outdoor living space — adding shade, structure, and a spot for string lights or climbing vines. We design and build custom wood and cedar pergolas with proper post footings and beam spacing, so it stays solid through our wet winters for years, not just one season.

Safe, code-compliant stairs and steps connect multi-level properties and sloped yards — common throughout hillside lots in this area. Built from stone, paver, or timber to match your patio or walkway design, with proper rise-and-run spacing and footing depth for long-term stability.

Privacy, security, and boundary fencing in pre-fabricated or custom wood, powder-coated galvanized steel, aluminum, and vinyl. We handle layout, post depth, and material selection based on your property line, local bylaws, and how much upkeep you want to deal with long-term — a common ask from homeowners in Anmore and Belcarra with larger, more exposed properties.

Low-voltage landscape lighting highlights your hardscaping, plantings, and architecture while improving safety after dark. From path lights to uplighting on trees and walls, we design layouts that make your outdoor living space usable — and look great — day and night.

Standing water, soggy lawns, and water pooling near your foundation are common problems here — usually a sign of poor grading or inadequate drainage. We design and install French drains, catch basins, and surface grading solutions that move water away from your home and hardscaping, protecting your investment and preventing erosion, mold, and foundation damage.

Garden design that fits your soil, sun exposure, and how much upkeep you actually want to do. From foundation plantings to full garden beds, we select and install trees, shrubs, and perennials that complement your hardscaping and mature well over time — completing the landscape construction process from the ground up.

Freshen up garden beds, walkways, and drainage areas with professionally spread mulch, river rock, and decorative stone. We deliver and install bulk landscape materials at the proper depth for weed suppression, moisture retention, and drainage — finishing your planting beds or hardscaping with a clean, consistent look that holds up season after season.

Fresh sod installation gives you an instant, established lawn — no waiting months for seed to fill in. We prep the soil grade and base properly first, so your new lawn actually takes root instead of washing out or dying off in the first season, serving homeowners across Burnaby, New Westminster, and Vancouver in addition to the Tri-Cities.
