Shaughnessy's Frequently Asked Questions

What makes landscaping in Shaughnessy different from other Vancouver neighbourhoods?

Shaughnessy has unique characteristics that require specialized knowledge. The neighbourhood features mature tree canopies, heritage homes with specific architectural styles, and larger properties with established landscapes. We design around these elements rather than against them. The soil, drainage, and light conditions differ significantly from other areas, and we account for these factors in every design. Additionally, Shaughnessy residents typically expect a certain aesthetic standard—elegant, refined, and respectful of the neighbourhood's character. We design with this in mind.

How do you work with the mature trees already on my property?

Mature trees are assets in Shaughnessy. Rather than removing them, we design landscapes that complement and showcase them. We work with arborists when needed, ensure proper soil management around tree roots, and select understory plantings that thrive in the dappled light beneath established canopies. Many properties along Angus Drive and Osler Street have beautiful tree-lined medians and mature specimens that we preserve and enhance.

Can you design a landscape that matches the heritage character of my home?

Absolutely. Shaughnessy homes showcase diverse architectural styles—Edwardian, Tudor Revival, Craftsman, Georgian Revival, and others. We research your home's architectural period and design landscapes that feel authentic to that era while incorporating modern functionality. A Tudor Revival home on King Edward Avenue will have a different landscape approach than a Classical Revival property in First Shaughnessy.

What plants thrive in Shaughnessy?

Shaughnessy's climate and soil support a wide range of plants. We favour native species and proven performers suited to the Pacific Northwest. Rhododendrons, Japanese maples, ornamental grasses, and shade-tolerant perennials do well here. We also draw inspiration from nearby VanDusen Botanical Garden, which showcases over 7,500 plant species and demonstrates what thrives in this specific area.

How long does the design and installation process take?

Timeline varies based on project scope. We provide same-day quotes so you know what to expect. Simple front yard designs might be installed within 2-3 weeks. Larger backyard projects typically take 4-8 weeks from design approval to completion. We'll give you a detailed timeline during your consultation.

Do you work with properties of all sizes?

Yes. Shaughnessy properties range from standard residential lots to expansive estates. Whether you have a modest front garden or several acres, we scale our approach to your property's unique dimensions and your vision for the space.
