How it works

Four steps from idea to finished yard

  1. 01

    Site visit and quote

    We walk the property with you, talk through what you want and measure up. You get a written quote that lists the work, materials and timeline.

  2. 02

    Design and plan

    For larger projects we sketch the layout, confirm materials and sort permits or locates before anything is dug.

  3. 03

    Build

    Our own crew and equipment do the excavation, base, structure and finish. The site is tidied at the end of every day.

  4. 04

    Walkthrough and care

    We walk the finished work with you, explain how to look after it, and fix anything that is not right.

Built by the people who quoted it

Groundscape Design and Build LTD is owned and run by Loris. The same crew that visits your property and writes the quote does the excavation, the base work and the finish. No subcontract chain, no surprises.

We build for Metro Vancouver’s climate: proper drainage, compacted bases and materials that handle wet winters.

Questions

Things people ask before they call

How does a quote work?

Call or send the form. We visit the property, measure, and send a written quote that lists the work, the materials and a timeline. Quotes are free and there is no pressure to decide on the spot.

How long will my project take?

Small jobs such as a fence section or a short walkway take a day or two. Patios, retaining walls and full yard renovations usually run one to three weeks depending on size, access and weather.

Do you work through the winter?

Yes. Metro Vancouver winters are mild enough for excavation, hardscaping and fencing most of the year. Concrete and planting are scheduled around frost and heavy rain.

Do I need a permit?

Most patios, walkways and fences do not. Taller retaining walls, structures and work near property lines can. We check the rules for your municipality and tell you up front when a permit is needed.

Do you take on small jobs?

We do. A repair or a small improvement is a good way to see how we work before a bigger project.
