Vancouver Island, BC

Creative Planting

The Project

This property called for a landscape design that matched its contemporary architecture — clean concrete retaining walls, structured planting beds, and a material palette that felt modern without losing a natural, textured feel.


The Process

We built a poured concrete retaining wall to define the raised planting bed, then filled it with a mix of ornamental grasses, ferns, and flowering perennials, layered around natural boulder accents for scale and texture. Mulch was used throughout to finish the beds, retain moisture, and suppress weeds — a small detail that makes a real difference in how a planting bed holds up over time. A stepping stone pathway, paired with a natural stone staircase, ties the space together and provides a clean route through the garden.


The Result

A landscape that feels intentional and low-maintenance at the same time — structured hardscaping paired with natural planting, built to look good through every season.


  • Poured concrete retaining walls

  • Ornamental grasses, ferns, and flowering perennials

  • Natural boulder accents for scale and texture

  • Mulched beds for moisture retention and weed suppression

  • Stepping stone pathway and natural stone staircase

A layered mix of concrete, boulders, and planting — proof that hardscaping and softscaping work best together.
