When you’re hunting for steady, get-it-done-right Port Coquitlam Landscaping & Hardscaping help, we’re probably who your neighbor already called. We’ve worked across the city with folks trying to turn messy, unusable yards into places that actually work for their lifestyle. Whether it’s a tiny backyard or a full commercial lot, we get it looking sharp, built well, and set up to last.
What Is Port Coquitlam Landscaping & Hardscaping All About?
Port Coquitlam Landscaping & Hardscaping is all about shaping the outside of your place to work better and look good while doing it. We’re talking lawn layout, sod work, plant choices—but also bigger changes like patios, steps, and decks that let you use outdoor space year-round.
The best jobs we’ve done mix both landscaping and hard surfaces. A proper setup might include a patio for Sunday BBQs, a chill deck with cover for rainy nights, plus green space for play. When the combo is right, the yard doesn’t just sit pretty—it makes sense for everyday life.

One client told us their backyard used to feel like a swamp—muddy mess every time it rained. We graded it out and dropped in artificial turf. Now it’s a clean spot the kids can run around on, rain or shine. Even the neighbors started peeking over the fence to ask who did it.
An Overview of Hardscaping Services
The hardscape part of Port Coquitlam Landscaping & Hardscaping is all about the solid builds that don’t grow—but tie everything together:
- Retaining walls that keep slopes steady and add flat space
- Paver patios and walkways for seating or path areas
- Concrete bases for outdoor kitchens, fire pits, or seating nooks
- Driveway upgrades with thick gravel or impact-friendly rubber paving
- Lighting setups so patios and yards work after dark too
One of the shops we worked with near Shaughnessy area updated their outdoor area with a stone patio and neat retaining wall—it made a difference right away. Not just in looks, but the space pulled in more customers just by looking clean and welcoming from the street.
Decks and Patio Covers: Elevate Your Outdoor Living
There’s nothing like kicking back on a well-built deck. We plan and build long-lasting decks that make sense with the way the weather rolls through Port Coquitlam. Here’s what we usually bring in:
- Real wood and composite decks that hold up through winters
- Split-level builds with coordinated railing and access points
- Pergolas, fixed covers, or adjustable roof features to cut down on rain
- Waterproof layers under top decks to make space usable even below it
If you like being outdoors but not soaked every spring—those overhead covers or pergolas make a big difference come rainy season.
Fencing & Gates: Privacy, Security, and Style
You want a yard you can enjoy without feeling like you’re on display. We install fences and gates to help with pets, security, and just setting boundaries. Materials include traditional wood, maintenance-friendly vinyl, and modern horizontal styles that are seriously trending in Port Coquitlam.
We’re also totally used to working with permit stuff in the area—so you won’t get stuck halfway through the job wondering what went wrong.
Tree & Arborist Services
Trees are great—until they’re in the way or causing problems. We handle all kinds of tree care jobs:
- Dangerous or piled-up trees? We remove them safely
- Trimming and shaping for light, views, or less overgrowth
- Old stump grinding so you can use the space again
- Next-day emergency support if a tree comes down unexpectedly
A lot of the time, folks don’t call about tree maintenance until something’s already wrong. Regular checks and trims keep things safer—and cheaper—in the long run.
Drainage & Excavation: Fixing the Hidden Problems
Ever walked around your yard after rain and felt like you’re in a puddle maze? One of our jobs last year had that exact situation. We reworked the drainage, reshaped the land just enough, and that soggy mess turned into plant-friendly, dry ground you could walk on anytime.
- Drains—new installs or fixes to get water going where it should
- Ground reshaping to fix poor slope issues
- Digging trenches for lights, irrigation, or electrical wiring

FAQ
What’s the difference between landscaping and hardscaping?
Landscaping is all the live stuff like grass, garden beds, and plants. Hardscaping is the built stuff—stonework, patios, stairs, and decks.
How long do landscaping projects usually take?
A small clean-up or fence job could be done in a day or two. On the other hand, full yard makeovers might roll out over a few weeks depending on size and weather.
What’s the best time to start landscaping or hardscaping in Port Coquitlam?
From spring through fall is best for most jobs. But things like turf installs and water-focused fixes can also happen through the winter if it’s dry.
Do I need a permit to build a fence or deck?
Usually yeah—especially decks and fences over a certain height. See rules on the Port Coquitlam permit page.
Can you help with maintenance after installation?
We do maintenance plans if you want help keeping things tidy—like trimming, mowing, or seasonal cleanouts.
What types of turf work best for local yards?
We go with durable mixes meant for BC weather—good with dogs, low on watering needs, and solid year-round coverage.
How do you protect hardscaping features from weather damage?
We use smart designs—good slope, solid drains, weather-tough sealers—to make sure things stand up to rain, snow, and wear.
Are there eco-friendly options for landscaping and hardscaping?
Absolutely. We plant stuff that grows naturally here and lean on materials that are recycled or let water move through like it should.
How much does artificial turf installation cost?
Price usually lands between $8 to $15 per square foot, installed. Depends a bit on shape of the yard and which turf you go with.
Do you offer custom designs?
Yep. We don’t do cookie cutter work. Every project design is made to match your space and the way you use it.
