In North Vancouver, where forests, mountains, and coastlines meet, it’s tempting to mirror that natural beauty in your own backyard. But creating a landscape that feels connected to the local environment—while staying functional, low-maintenance, and sustainable—takes more than just planting native flowers. It requires an understanding of the land, climate, and design principles that work with nature rather than against it.
That’s where professional landscapers like Bloomingfields come in. Our North Vancouver-based team designs and installs landscapes that not only look beautiful but thrive in our unique West Coast environment.
Why Work with a Professional Landscaping Company?
While DIY projects have their place, natural landscaping is complex. Working with professionals offers several advantages:
- Local expertise: We know which plants thrive in North Vancouver’s microclimates and how to build for drainage, slope, and soil conditions.
- Efficient planning: A cohesive design prevents costly mistakes and ensures your landscape matures beautifully over time.
- Long-term value: A professionally designed yard increases property value, reduces future maintenance needs, and improves outdoor usability.
- Sustainable outcomes: We prioritize native plants, water-smart design, and environmentally conscious materials.
- At Bloomingfields, we guide our clients through every stage—from concept and design to sourcing, installation, and care.
Common Challenges Homeowners Face
Many homeowners want to create a natural garden, but run into issues like:
- Choosing the wrong plants for their soil or sunlight
- Installing patios or retaining walls that disrupt drainage
- Overwatering or overplanting
- Neglecting year-round interest or wildlife balance
Our team helps you avoid these pitfalls by tailoring solutions to your property and vision. Every landscape we build is unique, but all share the same foundation: thoughtful design rooted in nature.
Our Approach to Natural Landscaping
We work with, not against, what’s already on your property. That includes:
1. Site-Specific Design
We assess sun patterns, soil conditions, slope, and existing vegetation before starting any project. This informs every choice—from plant selection to layout.
2. Native and Climate-Appropriate Plants
We prioritize plants that are well-suited to North Vancouver’s climate, including:
- Red-flowering currant
- Sword ferns
- Salal
- Kinnikinnick
- Pacific dogwood
These species not only thrive here but also support pollinators, reduce maintenance, and add natural texture.
3. Sustainable Hardscaping
Our materials reflect the natural beauty of the region: gravel, river rock, local wood, and reclaimed stone. These elements blend seamlessly with gardens and minimize environmental impact.
4. Year-Round Beauty
We design with all seasons in mind, using evergreens, grasses, and flowering shrubs that offer structure and colour from spring through winter.
