Landscaping is about more than curb appeal. It’s about supporting the beauty and health of the land surrounding your home.  

 

As an experienced team of North Vancouver landscapers, we’ve seen increasing occurrences of puddling and minor flooding on residential properties. You may notice when areas around your home or business are saturated with water that doesn’t run off or drain. One solution we offer is permeable landscaping.

 

Environmental Benefits of Water Permeable Landscaping

As a full-service landscaping team, we want to redefine how people think about landscaping. We aim to find solutions that meet your challenges and unique aesthetic preferences.

From design to installation services, we work to bring your vision to life using materials and processes that are friendly to the environment. One key difference in our approach is using water permeable landscaping solutions to create beautiful yards and gardens that work in sync with nature.

We recommend water permeable landscaping surfaces in urban and residential development because of the benefits to your property and the environment. Permeable surfaces reduce rainfall runoff, recharging groundwater reserves while quickly channeling water away from residential structures. In terms of longevity, materials are highly durable, lasting significantly longer than your average grout. It can even be pressure-washed without compromising the quality of the product.

 

Full-Service Landscaping in North Vancouver and Beyond

Even in North Vancouver where water seems so abundant, consumption rates are often out of sight, out of mind. Landscaping solutions not only directly correlate with the beauty and health of your property—but also the environment. All the materials we use and recommend have a meaningful impact on stormwater, groundwater, wastewater management, and water supply.  

Permeable landscaping filters out surface contaminants before water returns to the groundwater level. Unfiltered contamination diverted from non-permeable concrete or asphalt can block and damage drain systems. More significantly, when considering the durability and value of landscaping construction such as stairs, walkways, beds, and walls, surfaces that are not water-permeable are more susceptible to erosion and damage due to weathering.

As a team offering landscape design and installation across Vancouver, we make permeable landscaping a priority. That means finding materials compatible with your surrounding environment. This may include permeable materials such as river rock or pebbles, mulch and stabilized aggregate or grouted flagstone pathways. We also incorporate indigenous vegetation and healthy soils to increase your property’s water permeability, assist with runoff and drainage, and keep your property beautiful and healthy, working as a balanced, integrated system with the greater community.
