Landscaping and yard builds in Burnaby
We build complete Burnaby yards: terraced walls, paver patios, steps, turf or sod, and the drainage underneath that keeps it all from washing out.
Working in Burnaby
Burnaby's ridges make a lot of yards steep. On Capitol Hill, Burnaby Heights and the South Slope, a usable backyard usually starts with terracing: block or poured walls, concrete or paver steps between levels, and a patio or lawn on each flat tier. Around Deer Lake and Lochdale we also replace tired 1970s and ’80s landscapes, swapping failing timber walls and sunken patios for block, pavers and low-maintenance beds.
Burnaby needs a building permit, with engineer-sealed drawings, for any retaining wall over 1.2 m, for terraced walls where any one wall is over 1.2 m, and for terraces steeper than 1:1. We lay out tiers to stay within those limits wherever the slope allows, and coordinate the engineer when it doesn't.

What clients say
Absolutely thrilled with the paver patio PGC installed at my home in Port Coquitlam! The quality of work was excellent, the team was professional, and the finished result looks fantastic. They did a great job from start to finish, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend PGC!
They transformed my backyard with new artificial grass, a retaining wall, and modern landscaping that turned out even better than I expected! Gareth and the crew showed up on time every day, communicated clearly throughout the project, and left the site clean and tidy at the end of each day. Highly recommend them if you're looking for quality landscape construction done right.
Landscaping & yard renovations in Burnaby: common questions
Do you do full backyard landscaping in Burnaby?
Yes. Most of our Burnaby jobs combine walls, steps, a patio, turf or sod, planting beds and drainage in one build, run by one crew from excavation to cleanup.
Do terraced walls in Burnaby need a permit?
If any single wall in the terrace is over 1.2 m, or the terraces are steeper than 1:1, Burnaby requires a building permit with structural drawings sealed by a professional engineer.
Do you do design?
Yes. We plan the layout with you and can work from a landscape designer's drawings if you have them.
Do you offer lawn or garden maintenance?
We don't take on standalone lawn or garden maintenance. We are a construction company: we design and build landscapes, hardscape and drainage, using low-maintenance materials so your yard needs as little upkeep as possible.
