Landscapes Designed for the Fraser Valley

A well designed landscape does more than look beautiful. It manages water, reduces maintenance, provides privacy, creates habitat, and increases the usable outdoor space on your property. In the Fraser Valley, landscape design must account for heavy rainfall, clay soils, varying sun exposure throughout the year, and a climate that supports an extraordinary range of plant species if they are selected and placed correctly.

At Trueform, our landscape design process begins with a thorough understanding of your property's conditions: sun and shade patterns throughout the day and year, soil type and drainage, existing trees and features worth preserving, views to frame or screen, and the practical ways you use your outdoor space. We listen to your preferences and combine them with horticultural knowledge to create a design that works for your property specifically.

Our designs integrate hardscaping and softscaping as a unified system. The patio flows into the planting beds, the walkway leads through the garden, the retaining wall creates the planting terrace, and the lighting reveals it all after dark. This integrated approach avoids the disjointed look that results from designing hardscape and landscape separately.

Plant selection for the Fraser Valley focuses on species that thrive in our unique conditions: high rainfall tolerance, clay soil adaptability, and resistance to the pest pressures common in our region. We specify a mix of evergreen and deciduous species for year round interest, native plants for low maintenance and ecological value, and ornamental varieties for seasonal color. Every plant is specified at a size that provides immediate impact while leaving room for natural growth.

Installation includes full soil preparation with amendments where needed, proper planting depth and technique for each species, mulching for moisture retention and weed suppression, and irrigation system installation to ensure establishment. We back our plant material with a one year warranty when our recommended care practices are followed.
