We love that Vancouver GardenBox is a small business because they can add a personal touch to their services, which is tough to find in big companies. From what we’ve seen, they’re good at doing that!

They also don’t shy away from flaunting their success on their website, having completed over 2,500 projects. Thankfully, the clients we spoke with loved what was delivered!

Another plus is their accessibility, as they cater to single-family homes, strata, and commercial properties. It’s also convenient that they’re available in Vancouver and its surrounding areas!

When it comes to services, they have it all. They do installations, maintenance, and cleanups, which are exactly what you need for landscaping.

It’s cool they give you different installation options, like mulch, gravel, and sod. Plus, we like that they include blackberry bush removal in their services, which is invasive and can harm native plants on your property.

Sadly, there were a few complaints about miscommunication. But these were one-offs, fortunately.

Pros

  • Personalised approach
  • Caters to residential and commercial clients
  • Several installation options
  • Accessible service

Cons

  • Few complaints about miscommunication

    Professional, friendly, and efficient

    “Just wanted to thank Vancouver GardenBox for a job well done. Riley quickly responded to my  request for inspection & quote.  His team were very professional, friendly, efficient and cleaned their work area at the end of their work day. They finished the job as quoted. My garden now looks marvellous😉 My daughter couldn’t wait to plant her vegetables.  I highly recommend their service.”

    Stunning job

    “Riley and his team from Vancouver Instant Gardens and Yard Care Inc did a stunning job at tidying up and trimming/cleaning my yard in East Vancouver prior to our Open House. The team was punctual, communicated very well, and worked diligently throughout the day on all tasks at hand. I would highly recommend this company for any landscaping and garden assistance. Our place looks amazing!!”

    Blossom Landscaping is fittingly named. They know how to transform a messy yard into something clean and pleasing to the eyes, which is why most clients we spoke with continued to hire them for maintenance.

    We like that they offer a bunch of gardening services, like hedge trimming, yard maintenance, tree pruning, and garden cleanup. All these are convenient for residential clients, except for commercial properties since they don’t cater to those.

    On a good note, their process is thorough. We think it’s helpful how clearly their landscapers explained the process to ensure they did what the client wanted.

    They’re also accessible to most areas in and around Vancouver. They’re known to arrive on time too, which is impressive if you consider the traffic!

    Another thing worth highlighting is their competitive rates. We were surprised at how reasonable they were, considering their detailed and efficient work—they know how to do garden transformations well!

    Pros

    • Thorough process
    • Known to arrive on time
    • Competitive rates
    • All-in-one residential services

    Cons

    • No commercial services

      So pleased with the transformation

      “Blossom Landscaping trimmed and tidied up the hedges in our backyard.  As well they came and weeded our garden beds and added some mulch.  The backyard looks better than it ever has and I am so pleased with the transformation.  They were professional, kind and quick to respond to emails/texts.  We will definitely have them back and highly recommend them!  Thank you.”

      Katsura Landscaping is a company that has it all! We mean that literally because their range of services is extensive, offering softscapes and hardscapes, planting, maintenance, and seasonal cleanups.

      What deserves the spotlight is their xeriscape services. They help you lower your water bills by planting low-maintenance plants, incorporating rocks for design, and minimising lawn areas to lower maintenance costs.

      During our client surveys, we saw how impressive their projects were. Their landscapers sure know how to make an aesthetically pleasing yard through the use of different textures and colours.

      They’re also a good choice, budget-wise. They manage to provide accurate quotes and have reasonable prices.

      It’s a bummer they don’t have a wide coverage area. They only cater to North and West Vancouver, which is limited compared to other landscapers in the area.

      Nonetheless, it means they can arrive quickly, as long as you live in those areas. Their clients had no issues with the appointments!

      Pros

      • Wide variety of services
      • Offers low-maintenance projects
      • Accurate and reasonable quotes
      • Arrives on time

      Cons

      • Limited service area

        Really happy with the end result

        “Katsura did front yard work for my house. Scott and the team are professional and has ton of expertise and experience. Scott helped us pick out the tress that will work and look good. The work was completed on time, he kept in loop all the time about the progress. We are really happy with the end result.”

        Lokesh Bogte, Google Review

        Got my yard whipped into shape

        “I am lucky to have a mature garden full of trees, shrubs and perennials. It has gotten out of hand over the years, and I recently hired Katsura to help me tame it. Scott, the owner, was responsive and dispatched Marcelo to assess the scope of work. Marcelo did a detailed walkthrough and was practical, knowledgeable and prompt in providing a quote. The team arrived exactly as scheduled and did a huge amount of work, including during torrential rain. Special thanks to Adnan and Andre who brought energy and gardening expertise to the project. Thank you for getting my yeard whipped into shape. I will hire Katsura again.”

        We were impressed with OG Gardens Inc. because they’re an all-in-one destination for pretty much everything your lawn needs. To be honest, they offer way more than that!

        Aside from garden landscaping, maintenance, and cleanups, they also provide pressure washing and Christmas light installation and removal! Those extras are helpful because they can make your space look clean without disturbing your lawn!

        Plus, we love their veggie garden services. If you don’t have a green thumb, their crew can help you grow fruits and vegetables in your garden successfully—a handy service!

        Guess what? All their services are done in-house! That speaks volumes about their knowledge and expertise!

        They’re also the go-to for organic solutions in Vancouver. They’re safe for pets and the environment because instead of using chemicals, they go for organic alternatives.

        However, they’re not ideal for commercial clients since they focus on residential projects. Nonetheless, their clients like their affordability for a 100% organic landscaping service!

        Pros

        • Organic solutions
        • All-in-one landscaping destination
        • Offers veggie garden services
        • Reasonable pricing
        • Complete in-house team

        Cons

        • Not ideal for commercial clients

          Simply the best

          “Thom and his crew are simply the best!   cannot say how thrilled we are with the work his crew had done!  I only wish I had taken a before and after photo or time lapsed the photography! The garden is spectacular! Even when we looked at the property before buying it , it never looked this good!  His employees are seriously hard workers, courteous and definitely a good representation of Thom and his company!  I don’t think anything was missed. I highly recommend OG Gardens.. you will not be disappointed”

          Stephen Ing, Google Review

          Results are much better than expected

          “Very impressed with this company’s work. I did an area of my front yard. I had a plan in mind but Tom the owner gave me advice to go with a different look. The result is much better than I had imagined. Communication with Tom is fantastic and prompt. Would not hesitate to work with this company again.”

          When we looked at No Limit Landscaping’s portfolio, we were pleasantly surprised at how they managed to bring their client’s vision to reality, and our trust was cemented when we spoke to their clients. 

          Many praised the landscaping team for knowing how to design and install intricate projects and that the prices matched the results!

          We weren’t actually surprised, since we noticed that this company offers waterscape services (not all landscaping services can do this, by the way). What’s incredible about this is they can bring the pond to your yard, which is completely customisable!

          Although they offer landscaping design and construction, it’s a bummer they don’t currently provide maintenance. We understand they probably need to focus on the technical parts first, but it’s still unfortunate.

          On the bright side, their designs and execution are incredible. Most clients received compliments on their yards (and ponds!), showcasing the crew’s good craftsmanship!

          Pros

          • Works with intricate designs
          • Provides waterscaping services
          • Completely customisable service
          • Prices match the quality

          Cons

          • Doesn’t offer landscaping maintenance

            Hardworking, professional, polite

            “The owner operator, Josh, is professional, responsive, and a good listener. Before deciding on working with him and his team, I had 3 poor and disappointing experiences with other companies who were the opposite of the adjectives used above. Josh also worked with me in making adjustments considering my budget. His team is a great reflection of him as well – the on-site team as well ad in the office. They were hardworking, professional, polite, friendly, on time, and kind to my neighbours. I would work with them again and recommended them to my neighbours. Overall, I am pleased with my new garden.”

            S C, Google Review

            Delighted with the results

            “We hired Josh and his team to redo our front and back yards. They were professional, pleasant to work with throughout, and took a lot of pride in their work. We’re delighted with the results. Chris (the foreman for our project) and his team went above and beyond what we requested, putting in lots of extra time and effort to make sure all the details were attended to. When challenges came up, as they will in every project, they were dealt with quickly and always with the aim of exceeding our expectations. We’re delighted to recommend them and would not hesitate to hire them again in the future.”
