East Vancouver's Frequently Asked Questions

What makes landscape design important for heritage homes in Strathcona?

Heritage homes in Strathcona have distinctive architectural character—Edwardian and Victorian styles with specific proportions and details. A well-designed landscape should complement these elements rather than compete with them. We focus on creating front yards and gardens that enhance your home's historic charm while meeting modern functionality needs. This might include period-appropriate plantings, thoughtful hardscaping that respects the home's era, and designs that work with the tree-lined streets characteristic of the neighborhood.

How do you design landscapes for mature neighborhoods like Grandview-Woodland?

Mature neighborhoods like Grandview-Woodland have established tree canopies, established sight lines, and community character worth preserving. We design landscapes that work with existing mature trees rather than against them, selecting shade-tolerant plants and creating layered designs that add interest without overwhelming the space. We also consider how your landscape contributes to the neighborhood's overall aesthetic—the tree-lined streets and character homes that make these areas special.

Are native plants a good choice for East Vancouver landscapes?

Absolutely. Native plants are adapted to East Vancouver's climate and soil conditions, meaning they require less maintenance, water, and fertilizer once established. They also support local pollinators and wildlife. We incorporate native species throughout our designs, whether it's in flower beds, softscape plantings, or larger garden installations. This approach is especially popular with properties near community spaces like Trout Lake and the Strathcona Community Garden.

What's the best approach for designing a backyard near Trout Lake or New Brighton Park?

Living near these iconic East Vancouver spaces is special, and your backyard design should complement that proximity. We often recommend designs that echo the natural, park-like quality of these areas—incorporating native plantings, creating sightlines that feel open and connected to nature, and using materials that feel organic rather than overly formal. We also consider how your landscape transitions from your private space to the public parks and natural areas nearby.

How do you handle landscaping on Commercial Drive properties?

Commercial Drive has a unique mix of heritage character homes, vibrant street-level activity, and community spirit. We design front yards and visible landscapes that respect this character—often incorporating the colorful, eclectic aesthetic the neighborhood is known for while maintaining functionality. Whether you want a classic heritage look or something more contemporary that still fits the Drive's vibe, we can create something that works.

Can you design landscapes that work with East Vancouver's rainy climate?

East Vancouver's rainfall is actually an asset for landscaping. We design with drainage in mind, incorporating plants that thrive in moist conditions and using hardscaping that manages water effectively. Native plants are particularly well-suited to our wet climate. We also consider how your landscape looks year-round—selecting plants with winter interest and designing spaces that remain beautiful even during our rainy months.
