Premium Landscaping in West Point Grey

Coastal Character near Jericho and Spanish Banks

West Point Grey occupies one of the city’s most scenic corners, tucked near Jericho and Spanish Banks beaches and close to UBC. Many homes here are character properties on desirable lots, and a good number enjoy ocean views over the water and the North Shore mountains beyond. That setting is the heart of every project. Properties this close to the shoreline get real coastal exposure, with wind, salt air, and bright light that the planting has to withstand. We build planting plans around resilient, coastal-tolerant species: hardy evergreens, ornamental grasses, and Pacific Northwest natives suited to Zone 8b that stay healthy where softer plants would struggle.

The view is the other defining factor. On view properties, we treat the outlook as the centrepiece, designing sightlines that frame the water rather than obscure it. Lower planting near the view edges, taller structure set back, and terraces positioned to capture the panorama all keep the ocean part of daily life in the garden.

Privacy without Losing the Outlook

Balancing privacy against an open view takes a careful hand. Our crews screen the angles that need it, from neighbours or the street, with slim hedging, cedar fencing, and well-placed structure, while leaving the water-facing sightlines clear. Around that, we design and install the full outdoor space: patios, decks, lighting, and irrigation built for a coastal setting. The result is a sheltered, private garden that still makes the most of the view and the relaxed, beachside character that defines West Point Grey.
