How do you create big impact in a small space? As a team of landscapers in Vancouver, we’re committed to bringing your vision to life. If you’ve always imagined a secret garden in West Vancouver–or maybe a Burnaby rooftop garden reminiscent of a Parisian patio, we’re here with Vancouver landscaping solutions that fit your vision, your budget, and your lifestyle.
Cluster Up
When it comes to landscaping design for smaller spaces like a patio or rooftop, we often layer up foliage plants in pots and planters to achieve the lush feel of a Parisian rooftop. Clustering greenery, especially native species, requires minimal maintenance in spring and summer and provides lovely colour for fall. Consider BC natives like Sword Fern, Red-Flowering Currant, and Dull Oregon Grape with its bright yellow blossoms and blue fruit.
Go Classic
West Coast homes and cedar pickets–there’s something classic about fall in Vancouver. For clients who want to update their landscaping without too much work, we recommend focusing on and around the porch. Consider a few pumpkins on upturned galvanized steel buckets. Instead of the usual chrysanthemums, we recommend perennial species like allium, salvia, and ornamental grasses, which provide beautiful cuttings for your home in late fall.
Potting Around
For the smallest gardens and patios, our landscape designers often start with beautiful and unusual pieces of pottery, which can make as much of an impact as the plants themselves. Consider shades of terracotta or bronze, which bring warmth to a stone or glass backdrop. Complement the colours with plants or leaves in a similar colour. Native Alumroot (Heuchera) species) or hardier hybrids, such as Heucherella, come in a wide range of colours and are an excellent choice, with small while flowers and foliage colours that range from red to amber to chartreuse.
Patio Planning
For patios with a bit more space, we love placing containers around the edges of the seating area. A foliage-friendly tree like the Japanese maple, complemented by a few trailing plants, provides dramatic small-scale colour for fall. Choose among species ranging from deep burgundy to brilliant golds that catch and reflect the late fall sun.
Inspired Fall Gardens
Summer isn’t the end of Vancouver’s growing season. The cooler fall brings forth rich bursts of seasonal colour you can enjoy year after year, with a little insight and planning from the team at EcoBridge.
