Understanding Fraser Valley Landscaping
So here’s the deal: Fraser Valley landscaping isn’t just about cutting grass or planting flowers. It covers things like landscape design, grading the land, putting in artificial turf, adding garden features, building retaining walls and fences, installing decks, patio covers, and even taking care of trees. All these pieces work together to create a space that fits how you live—and handles rainy winters and super dry summers.
One of our Maple Ridge clients wanted easy upkeep but still wanted it to feel cozy. So, we used artificial turf, surrounded it with native greenery, and built a stone wall to handle the slope in their yard. It turned into a spot that looks good and barely needs any maintenance, no matter the season.

When’s the Best Time for Landscaping in Fraser Valley?
Usually, spring and early fall are the ideal seasons for planting and other greener things. The weather’s chill but not frozen, and new roots get a bit of time before winter hits. Hardscaping like decks or stonework? We do that year-round if the weather’s okay. If you’re just starting to plan, reach out ahead of time so we can line up your job for the right window.
Costs and Timelines: What to Expect
Prices vary a bunch depending on what you need. Artificial turf setups can cost around $3 to $7 a square foot. Bigger builds like a two-level deck or proper retaining wall take more planning and a quick visit to figure out real numbers. Some jobs wrap in a day or two. Others might take a few weeks, especially if they’ve got lots of parts. Just call us—we’ll go over what you want and give you cost and time details upfront.
Permitting in Fraser Valley Landscaping
If you’ve got a big project in mind, like a tall fence or a layered deck, you might need a permit. We’ve seen people hit pause mid-project because permits weren’t sorted. Don’t let that happen. If you’re in Coquitlam, jump to their permit info here: Coquitlam Building Permits. Other cities in the Fraser Valley have similar guides. Not sure? Just ask—we’ve been through the process tons of times.

Some Tales from Fraser Valley
In Pitt Meadows, one of our fave projects was this cozy year-round hangout. We built a modern deck with built-in lights and a roof you can shift open or closed based on the weather. Turns out, rain or frost, the family still uses it for barbecue nights. Friends and neighbors started asking right away who built it. And honestly, it’s things like that that show how landscaping gives back—it’s not just about plants, it’s about how folks use the space once it’s there.
