Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is artificial turf worth it in a wet climate?

Yes — wet winters are exactly where quality turf shines. A properly excavated, compacted base with high-flow backing drains island rain fast, so you get a mud-free, green lawn in January without mowing or fertilizing.

When is the best time to plant on southern Vancouver Island?

Fall and early spring. Cooler temperatures and reliable rain let roots establish before summer drought — though with proper irrigation planning we plant successfully through most of the year.

Do water features require a lot of maintenance?

No. Our ponds and streams are self-recirculating with efficient pumps and skimmers. Expect a seasonal clean-up and occasional top-ups — we design them to be enjoyed, not serviced.

What's included in a property refresh?

Clearing and hauling overgrowth, pruning trees and shrubs, re-cutting bed edges, fresh mulch, and grading or drainage fixes — a one-visit reset that brings a tired yard back under control or preps it for a bigger build.
