Richmond's Frequently Asked Questions

What plants thrive in Richmond's climate?

Richmond's temperate maritime climate supports a wide variety of plants. We recommend native species like Douglas fir, western red cedar, and Garry oak for structural elements, along with perennials such as bleeding heart, hellebores, and sedums that handle our wet winters and dry summers. For color, ornamental grasses, hydrangeas, and rhododendrons perform exceptionally well. We also incorporate plants suited to Richmond's specific microclimates—areas near Iona Beach Regional Park or the Fraser River may have different conditions than inland neighborhoods like Broadmoor or East Richmond.

How do I prepare my yard for landscape design?

Before we begin, clear the area of debris and identify any existing plants you want to keep. Let us know about drainage issues, sun exposure patterns throughout the day, and soil conditions. If you've noticed water pooling near Steveston Community Park or similar areas during rain, mention that. We'll conduct a site assessment to understand your property's unique characteristics, including soil type and existing hardscape. This preparation ensures our design works with your yard's natural conditions rather than against them.

What's the best time of year to install a landscape in Richmond?

Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) are ideal for landscape installation in Richmond. These seasons provide moderate temperatures and adequate moisture for plants to establish strong root systems. Spring is perfect for most plantings, while fall allows plants to settle before winter. Summer installations are possible but require more frequent watering, especially during dry spells. Winter is generally avoided due to frozen ground and reduced plant availability, though we can still plan and design during these months.

How much maintenance will my new landscape require?

This depends on your design choices. Native plantings and established perennials require less maintenance than annual flower beds. We design landscapes with your lifestyle in mind—if you prefer low-maintenance gardens, we focus on hardy shrubs, groundcovers, and structural plants. If you enjoy gardening, we can incorporate more interactive elements. Most Richmond landscapes benefit from seasonal cleanup, mulch refreshing, and pruning. We can discuss maintenance expectations during your consultation.

Do you work with properties near water features like the Fraser River or Garry Point Park?

Yes, we have experience designing landscapes for waterfront and near-water properties throughout Richmond. These areas have unique considerations including soil composition, drainage patterns, and wind exposure. We select appropriate plants and design solutions that work with these conditions. If your property is near the dyke trails or waterfront areas, we'll factor in seasonal water table changes and select plants that handle moisture fluctuations.
