North Coast Landscaping BC has been shaping Vancouver Island yards for more than 15 years, and they’re the team I recommend when a property needs thoughtful, long-lasting design rather than a quick tidy-up. They specialise in low-maintenance, climate-smart landscapes that cope with coastal sun and winter rain, from compact courtyard makeovers to 2,000+ square foot residential renovations. Their practical experience on local soil is obvious from the first site visit.

They install everything you need for an outdoor living upgrade, including cedar decks and pergolas, interlocking pavers (Unilock and Techo-Bloc), drought-tolerant planting schemes, and smart irrigation systems with Rain Bird controllers. Hardscape projects commonly include retaining walls built with Allan Block, gravel pathways, and integrated outdoor lighting. For smaller properties they offer container gardens and sloped-site planting that control erosion without heavy machinery. They also provide seasonal clean-ups and pruning services for ornamentals and fruit trees.

What sets North Coast Landscaping BC apart is how they work. A senior designer does the initial on-site measurement, then a certified installer leads the crew, so the person who plans the project stays involved through completion. Estimates include a written scope, material brands, and projected timelines, so there are no surprises. They’ll mark out drainage runs and recommend soil mixes, often using a 60/40 topsoil-compost blend to improve water retention and plant establishment. Crews are small but skilled, and they treat neighbours’ properties respectfully, cleaning up daily and using low-noise equipment when possible.

Locally owned and operated, they know municipal bylaws for Saanich, Nanaimo, and surrounding communities, which makes permit-heavy jobs smoother. Homeowners choose North Coast Landscaping BC because the results last, plants thrive, and projects finish on time.
