Gardening on peat is a specific skill. Richmond's soil is deep, acidic and rich, the water table is high, and a lawn that would thrive in Burnaby can sit sodden here through February: which is why local crews build beds up, choose salt-wind-tolerant hedging near the dykes, and time work around a growing season that starts early on the delta.
The work ranges from weekly maintenance and cedar hedge trimming to irrigation, paving stone and patio construction, artificial turf for small townhouse yards, tree pruning and full seasonal cleanups. Strata contracts across the City Centre and McLennan townhouse complexes are a significant share of the trade. Listings show service area, phone and whether maintenance contracts or one-off jobs are taken.

Guides and roundups written for Richmond, with the businesses linked inline.
Nothing on Alexandra Road is a hidden gem. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.
The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
I live four blocks off Moncton Street, so this is the Steveston I actually use: where to park before the Bayview lots fill, how to buy fish straight off the boats at the wharf, the honest answer to the Pajo's versus Dave's question, and why the history here is not decoration.
