West Van Woodland

An expansive home overlooking the Burrard Inlet, the homeowners wanted a low-maintenance landscape that would complement the house meanwhile blending in with the forest of the North Shore mountains. Natural stone steps and pavers create a striking yet subtle approach to the home. Native ferns, hosta, and mosses are hardy and draught-tolerant. At the back of the property, a durable composite deck gives way to a meandering lit pathway through giant conifers.
