Landscaping & Lawn Care
Richmond landscaping company operating since 2000, handling design and installation work as well as ongoing maintenance. Founded and still based in the city, it takes on residential yards along with strata and commercial grounds across the Lower Mainland.
Delta silt is the fact that governs every garden on this island. Richmond sits barely above sea level with a high water table and drainage that behaves nothing like a Burnaby hillside. Beds hold water through the winter, roots stay shallow, and anybody who has tried to establish a lawn here in February knows the particular sensation of standing on a sponge.
Quant is a Richmond-based landscaping company taking on design and installation as well as ongoing maintenance, working residential yards alongside strata and commercial grounds. Those are genuinely different services. Be clear about which one you are asking for. Design and installation is a project with a start and an end: grading, drainage, planting, hard surfaces. Maintenance is a relationship measured in years, with a rhythm that changes every season.
Ask about drainage before you talk about plants. On this island the drainage decision determines whether the planting survives at all, and it is far cheaper to solve during installation than to retrofit afterwards through a finished bed. Strata councils have a second question worth asking, which is how the winter months are handled, because maintenance contracts vary enormously in what they cover between November and March. That is the stretch when nothing appears to be growing and the real work is clearing, pruning and keeping water moving. It is also the stretch that decides how the spring looks.
In the Gilmore neighbourhood of Richmond.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside them.
The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. 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.
