Who we areWinston Hallier
Founder and owner since 1996 I have been building outdoor spaces for over two decades and am experienced in all aspects of the design build process including design of both hard and soft landscaping, irrigation, outdoor lighting and drainage. I have a passion for creative unique landscape ideas. |
What we doWe design, build & upgrade landscapes in the Lower Mainland from North Vancouver to Chilliwack, and we love gardens. There, we said it. We love lawns, walls, ponds and plants…the whole bit! But most of all we love seeing the look on your face when you realise that you really love your garden too! That’s why we make such an effort to understand exactly what you want and need from your garden.
We talk to our customers and listen carefully to find out how you want to use your outdoor space; the different roles it will need to fulfil, how much time, energy and money you expect to invest in future maintenance and your style preferences that will influence the materials and planting we suggest. We want you to be able to enjoy every inch of your garden and you won’t find any ‘one size fits all’ design solutions from us, every garden we work on is individually planned and unique. Of course planning is only the start, once we agree on a design and work starts on the transformation of your garden you can trust us to work efficiently, coming in on time and on budget. We’re polite and tidy, we’ll keep you informed about what’s going on and we guarantee the highest quality workmanship on all aspects of the project. We want you to enjoy seeing your perfect garden take shape as much as we do and our years of experience, professional expertise and our friendly team should give you that confidence. |
How we do it You get in touch - You can call us on the phone or contact us via the email form on this site and we’ll get back to you within 48 hours.
We arrange a meeting - We’ll come to you so we can talk about your ideas and survey the area to be worked on. Presenting designs - Using your ideas from our initial meeting we will create a design presentation for you. We’ll take into account your needs, the site survey and budget to make sure we get it right. We will present our design to you together with samples of the finishes we plan to use and photos of the planting we have suggested. Together we will look at every detail, explaining choices and ideas and making changes until you are completely happy. Final design and budget - You’ll get a copy of the finalized design and a detailed budget breakdown for your approval. We agree a schedule - We’ll agree a start date and make you aware of key milestones in the schedule so you know what to expect and know when we will complete the project. Getting started - The first stage uses state of the art laser technology to translate design plans from our laptop onto your garden so we can mark out all the features ready for landscaping. Ongoing work - We are committed to sticking to time schedules .Projects have a set format with the important groundwork to shape your garden happening first, followed by hard landscaping to add fences, walls, decking and ponds. The final stage is soft landscaping where we bring in turf, plants, garden furniture and design features to complete the garden. Our project manager co-ordinates timely delivery of materials and collection of waste as required keeping things on track. We also ensure all work conforms to the necessary building standards for your peace of mind. Final sign off - Once you are completely happy with everything the project can be signed off, but this need not be the end! We can offer ongoing maintenance contracts and general advice on keeping your gardens in tip-top condition so don’t be afraid to keep in touch. Seeing our gardens grow and mature is a real treat so we’re always pleased to hear from you. |
