Premium Landscaping in South Burnaby

Flatter ground, water to manage

South Burnaby spreads across the flatter southern half of the city, from the dense streets around Metrotown and Edmonds down to the river-flat ground at Big Bend by the Fraser. Compared with the slopes up north, the gentler terrain means less retaining and terracing and more room for straightforward patios, lawns, and garden layouts. The technical attention here shifts to water. The low-lying ground near Big Bend sits close to the river with a higher water table and slower drainage, so on those properties we lean hard on grading, French drains, catch basins, and permeable surfaces to keep outdoor spaces dry and usable through the wet Pacific Northwest winter.

That mix of conditions, dense lots in some pockets and larger, low-lying parcels in others, means we tailor each build to its ground rather than applying one template across the city.

From compact yards to full outdoor living

The neighborhoods near Metrotown and Edmonds often bring compact lots that reward efficient, private design: well-placed patios, screening and hedging, and low-maintenance planting that makes a small yard feel complete. On the larger lots, the flat ground makes it easy to build out generous outdoor living, with spacious paver patios, decks, lawns, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens. Across both, our crews deliver the full scope for the Zone 8b climate, hardscape, carpentry, planting, turf, lighting, and irrigation, with drainage engineered first on the lower river-flat sites so the finished space holds up for years.
