Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a landscape master plan cost?
Master plans range from $5,000 to $25,000 CAD depending on lot size, complexity, and how many specialist consultants are involved. A standard Vancouver single-family lot typically lands $7,000-$12,000, while larger estates in West Van or the Fraser Valley with arborist reports and engineered drainage run higher.
How long does master planning take, and when should we start?
Allow 8-14 weeks for a thorough master plan: site analysis, zoning review, concept development, and final documentation. Most clients start 6-12 months before they want to break ground, especially if the plan will feed into permits or a multi-year phased build.
Will the plan address Vancouver zoning and bylaws?
Yes, we review setbacks, permeable surface ratios, tree bylaw implications, and the protected tree requirements that apply across Vancouver, Burnaby, and the North Shore. If your property sits in a development permit area or has a watercourse nearby, we flag those constraints before design decisions get locked in.
What does a master plan actually include?
You receive a site analysis diagram, conceptual zoning plan, scaled master plan drawing, a phasing strategy with rough budgets per phase, and a materials and planting palette. It's a reference document the family, contractors, and future designers can work from over 3-10 years.
Do I need a master plan or just a regular landscape design?
If your project is one phase and you plan to build it in a single season, a standard design is plenty. Master planning earns its cost on larger lots, multi-phase builds, heritage properties, or when multiple structures (pool house, ADU, sport court) need to coordinate over several years.
Professional landscape master planning adds lasting value, function, and curb appeal to your property. At Landscapify, we pair considered design with durable materials and plantings suited to the Pacific Northwest climate (Zone 8b), and we back every installation with our workmanship warranty. From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, our team handles the details so the result lasts.
