About Landscaping Architecture
Landscape Design
The activities of a landscape architect can range from the creation of public parks and parkways to site planning for campuses and corporate office parks, from the design of residential estates to the design of civil infrastructure and the management of large wilderness areas or reclamation of degraded landscapes such as mines or landfills. Landscape architects work on all types of structures and external space, large or small, urban, suburban and rural, and with “hard” (built) and “soft” (planted) materials, while paying attention to ecological sustainability.

Garden Planting
- First meeting scheduled at project site.
- Discuss client vision and present ideas from Growscape design team.
- Recommend a landscape concept plan to start the process.
- Our team will assess the existing site conditions, establish a client brief by understanding your budgets, aesthetics and requirements, before discussing potential designs.
- When design and price have been agreed upon, the project is handed to our project coordinator. 1 – 2 weeks before the project starts the project coordinator will meet with the client to confirm samples and ensure no deviations happen from presented design. The project coordinator will also communicate with neighbours on the work, approximated time, and provide contact info for any concerns they may have.
- Once permits are approved work begins. Throughout the job the project coordinator will have daily contact with the client (on-site, or with pictures via email).
- Upon completion we setup a time to review the completed project to ensure that everything is to the satisfaction of the client

Perennials
Perennial plants come back year after year. They are often installed in a variety of sizes including 1 gallon up to 5 gallon. The varieties of plants that fall under perennials are vast. Usually perennials take 2-3 years to reach maturity in size.
Examples of perennials would include:
Hostas
Bulbs
Evergreen Plants
Evergreen plants or shrubs do not lose their leaves in winter. They are typically green and need to have other plants to provide variety in colour. Often due to location of evergreens they may be susceptible to winter wind burn or salt damage. In order to protect evergreens burlap may be required during the winter months.
Examples of Evergreen plants would include:
Yews
Euonymous
Yunipers or Cedars
Shrubs
Shrubs are generally between 2′ and up to 10′ tall off the ground. They can be used as color or height to add character to a landscape garden bed. Varieties will vary depending on the project.
Examples of perennials would include:
Lilacs or Service Berries
