Frequently Asked Questions
What does a planting plan cost?
Dedicated planting plans run $800-$3,500 CAD depending on bed count and property size. A single front yard bed or foundation planting sits near the low end, while whole-property schemes with seasonal bloom sequencing and a detailed plant schedule land higher. If we're already producing a full landscape design, the planting plan is bundled in.
How long before the garden actually fills in?
Most Vancouver gardens look established by year two and mature by year three to five, depending on plant sizes at install. We usually spec a mix of 1-gallon, 2-gallon, and 5-gallon stock so you get immediate impact without paying premium mature-plant prices. Evergreen structure fills in first; flowering perennials peak in year two.
Are the plants suited to Vancouver's climate?
Yes. We design for zone 8b with its wet winters, dry summers, and the microclimates across the Lower Mainland — shady North Van lots versus sunny South Surrey beds versus windy waterfront. Every plant we spec has been proven in local gardens, and we prioritize native and drought-tolerant species to match the shifting summer rainfall pattern.
What's included in the plant plan documents?
You get a scaled planting layout, a plant schedule listing botanical names, common names, quantities, and container sizes, sourcing notes for local nurseries like GardenWorks or Southlands, plus a care sheet covering first-year watering, mulching, and pruning. It's everything a crew or DIYer needs to order and install.
Can I get just a planting plan without a full landscape design?
Absolutely. Planting-only plans work well when hardscape is already in place and you just want the beds to look intentional. If the space also needs grading, drainage, or new hardscape, a broader landscape design makes more sense so plants aren't fighting the site conditions.
