Appropriate Material Selection
Plants – Each type of plant requires specific growing conditions. Using the appropriate plants for the right area is vital to long-term plant health and can also minimize water consumption.

Hardscape Materials - As new materials are introduced on the market, we are able to offer our clients a variety of sustainable options when choosing hardscape materials such as woods, stones and synthetics. Sustainably harvested wood, reclaimed stone material or recycled plastics are just the beginning. Ask us about building material options available for your property.

Lighting
Landscape lighting can add elements of personality and style, as well as a sense of security to an outdoor space. In order to conserve energy and reduce light pollution, we offer designs that utilize low-energy or LED lighting for functional illumination.

Irrigation
Water is an essential resource and as such, water conservation is a high priority in the design of our landscapes. We offer leading-edge solutions in irrigation management including; controlled irrigation systems, rainwater harvesting, drip or porous irrigation, and rain sensors. These technologies are designed to water your landscape in the most efficient manner when it is most needed.

Water Features
Water can add a sense of flow and calm to a landscape. Consider installing a water catchment system on your property to recycle and re-use rainwater in fountains, ponds and waterfalls.

New! Green Roof & Green Wall Design and Installation
The benefits of green roofs and roof-top gardens extend far beyond aesthetic appeal – they also contribute to the improved health of the home as well as the local natural environment.

Temperature Regulation & Moderation of Urban Heat – Green roof vegetation helps to cool city air during hot summer months and acts as a filter for airborne smog particles.

Noise Reduction - Plants and soil help absorb noise pollution from the surrounding area.

Water Conservation - The soils in green roof systems act like a sponge to absorb excess rain water and reduce the amount of run-off that flows into the municipal storm drainage system and surrounding watershed. Green roofs help to filter the excess water prior to returning it to the aquifer.

Improved Air Quality – Green roof vegetation cleans the surrounding air by encouraging carbon dioxide uptake and oxygen production.

Building Insulation - A green roof will have a noticeable impact on the heat gain and loss of a building. Often this translates to savings in heating and cooling utilities.

Incorporating Green Walls into outdoor structures such as fencing, arbours and arch structures can help create a sense of a secluded green paradise.

Special Interest Planting: Customized Container Arrangements
Container planting is a great way to add a colourful stylish area of interest within your landscape without adversely affecting the surrounding environment. Get creative with tropical displays and aquatic plants. Container planting options are available for all four-seasons and require little maintenance.

Native Gardens
We encourage clients to consider using a mix of native species, wildflowers, as well as drought-tolerant plants and grasses. This creates a healthy diversity within the landscape ecosystem and provides wonderful interest throughout the year. When choosing plants we look for varieties that are well-adapted to our region and place them in locations that will best meet their needs.
