Local conditions
Small lots, big trees
Many Vancouver homes sit on narrow city lots, so front yards, side passages and compact backyards need to work hard. Paver patios, planting beds, privacy screening and low-maintenance front yards are common requests.
Mature trees and tall hedges are everywhere, which means shade, roots and moss. Lawns often struggle, and many homeowners replace them with beds, gravel or permeable paving.
Access is a real cost factor. Material often comes through a lane or side yard by hand, and parking for crews can be limited.

Can a small city yard still have a patio and garden?
Yes. Many Vancouver projects fit a patio, planting beds and screening into a narrow lot. Good design matters more than size.
Are landscaping prices higher in Vancouver?
Often a little, because of access, parking and disposal. Ranges on this site are a starting point; your quotes will reflect your lot.
