Grounds Your Owners Are Proud to Come Home To

Your landscape is the first thing residents, guests and prospective buyers see, and one of the most visible signs that a strata council is taking care of a shared investment.

Craine Projects brings the same attention to detail behind our award-winning gardens to strata properties across Vancouver, BC. Our horticulturists look after your common areas week in and week out, and our in-house design team helps your council plan improvements so the property looks better every year, not just tidier.

Who We Work With

Strata Councils

Clear proposals, plain-language updates and recommendations you can bring to your next council meeting.

Property Managers

One point of contact, documented site visits and a crew that doesn’t need chasing.

Townhouse Complexes

Shared lawns, hedges, internal pathways, entrances and visitor parking kept consistent from unit to unit.

Condo & Apartment Buildings

Street frontages, courtyards, podium gardens, planters and rooftop amenity spaces.

Individual Owners

Care for private patios, yards and limited common property, arranged directly with the owner and in line with your bylaws.

A Year-Round Maintenance Program

Every property gets a written scope and seasonal schedule built around its plantings, irrigation and budget. Visits are more frequent through the growing season and scaled back over winter, so you are only paying for the work your landscape actually needs.

Lawn mowing, edging and turf care
Garden bed weeding, cultivation and mulching
Hedge trimming and shrub pruning
Horticultural tree pruning (ground level, under 14 ft)
Spring and fall cleanups, including leaf collection
Irrigation start-up, monitoring, repairs and winterization
Plant health care and weed management

Litter and debris removal from landscaped areas

Design-Led Strata Enhancements

This is where Craine Projects is different. Most maintenance contractors keep a landscape where it is. As a full-service design and build firm, we help your strata move it forward, with a long-term landscape plan your council can budget for and phase in over several years.

Long-Term Landscape Plans

A prioritized, phased plan for replacements and upgrades that fits your annual budget and contingency planning.

Entrance & Amenity Upgrades

Refreshed entry gardens, courtyards and shared outdoor rooms that lift first impressions and resident enjoyment.

Water-Wise Replanting

Drought-tolerant and native plantings with hydrozoned irrigation, so gardens stay healthy through summer watering restrictions.

Hardscape Repairs

Uneven pavers, failing retaining walls, worn steps and pathways repaired by ICPI-certified installers, reducing trip hazards and liability.

Rooftop & Podium Gardens

Planting and planter refreshes suited to the wind, sun, drainage and weight limits of structural slabs.

Landscape Lighting

Pathway and entrance lighting that improves safety and showcases the landscape after dark.

How We Work With Your Strata

2. Written Scope & Proposal

A clear proposal listing services, visit frequency and seasonal tasks, so everyone knows exactly what is included.

3. One Point of Contact

A dedicated contact who knows your property and responds promptly to requests and concerns.

4. Consistent Crews

The same team on your site visit after visit. As a Certified Living Wage Employer, we keep experienced people on our crews.

Care for Individual Units & Patios

Many strata owners have a private yard, patio or rooftop terrace that falls outside the common-property contract. We can look after these spaces directly for owners, from seasonal pruning and planter refreshes to a full patio garden redesign.

Because we already know the property, we keep each private garden consistent with the look of the wider community and work within your strata’s bylaws and approval process.

Strata Landscaping FAQs

What does a strata landscape maintenance contract include?

Most contracts cover lawn care, garden bed maintenance, hedge and shrub pruning, seasonal cleanups, irrigation management and debris removal. We tailor the scope to your property’s size, plantings and budget, and list everything in a written proposal.

How often will your crew visit our property?

During the growing season most strata properties are serviced weekly or every two weeks, with fewer visits through winter. We recommend a schedule after the initial site walk-through.

Do you work with property management companies?

Yes. We work with both self-managed stratas and professionally managed buildings, and coordinate directly with your property manager on access, scheduling and invoicing.

Can you help us plan landscape improvements over several years?

Yes. Our in-house design team can prepare a phased landscape plan so your council can prioritize projects and budget for them year by year.

Do you maintain limited common property and private patios?

Common property is covered under the strata contract. For limited common property and private patios, we follow your bylaws: these areas can be included in the strata scope, or we can arrange service directly with individual owners.

How do you handle summer watering restrictions?

We tune and monitor irrigation systems to the current restrictions, group plants by water needs, and recommend drought-tolerant replacements where gardens are struggling.

Are you insured to work on strata properties?

Yes. We carry commercial general liability insurance and WorkSafeBC coverage, and can provide certificates for your strata records.

What areas do you serve?

We are based in Vancouver, BC and look after strata properties across Metro Vancouver, including Burnaby, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Richmond, Surrey and Tsawwassen.
