Garden Softscaping & Plantings | Orca Pings North Shore BC

Discipline Overview

Softscaping & Native Plantings

Breathe life into your estate with lush, four-season botanical compositions. We combine native British Columbia evergreen species with beloved regional staples—including pristine Emerald cedar privacy screens, sculpted boxwoods, vibrant coastal rhododendrons, and specimen Japanese maples—creating year-round architectural depth, living color, and natural privacy.

We hand-select healthy specimens directly from boutique nurseries across British Columbia: lush Emerald and Western Red Cedars, architectural boxwoods, native sword ferns, panicle hydrangeas, and resilient coastal perennials. Every planting is established in biologically active organic soil and finished with fine-shredded dark hemlock bark mulch. In addition, we provide dedicated support for managing, containing, or permanently removing invasive bamboo stands.

Frequently Asked Questions

We typically plant specimen 6-to-12-foot cedars spaced 2.5 to 3 feet on center to achieve an immediate privacy wall while allowing healthy root development.

Yes. Bamboo can be a striking architectural element when properly contained, but running varieties can easily overwhelm beds and invade neighbouring properties. We provide health pruning and thinning for ornamental groves, install heavy-duty HDPE subterranean rhizome barriers to prevent spreading, or perform complete root excavation and eradication when removal is needed.

We utilize beneficial nematodes in late July, deep aeration, and overseeding with microclover and fescue varieties that are naturally resistant to beetle grubs.
