Lawn care, hedge trimming,and a yard that stays perfect.

Shaughnessy properties are the largest and most complex in Vancouver, often requiring multi-crew visits. Lawns can exceed several thousand square feet, hedges run along multiple boundaries at varying heights, and garden beds are extensive. The heritage character of many homes means landscaping must complement the architecture. Many properties here require the full range of our services on a recurring schedule. First Shaughnessy lots can exceed 15,000 square feet, with some estate properties pushing past half an acre, making them the largest residential landscapes in the city by a wide margin. The soil is the same west-side clay found in Dunbar and Kerrisdale, but the scale means drainage issues are amplified and harder to address. Specimen trees are a hallmark of the neighborhood, including copper beech, Japanese maple, magnolia, and mature English oak, each requiring careful ground-level maintenance to protect root systems and complement the tree's form. Heritage designation on many Shaughnessy homes means the landscape design itself may be subject to guidelines that restrict changes to established garden layouts, hedge lines, and mature plantings. Tall formal hedges of eight feet or more are common along front boundaries, creating a private, estate-like feel but requiring specialized height equipment and experienced crew to maintain safely. The sheer volume of organic material produced by these large, heavily planted lots means property maintenance visits generate substantially more green waste than a typical Vancouver property. Multi-crew visits of three to four workers are standard for full-service Shaughnessy properties to complete the work efficiently within a single visit window.
