CONDO AND TOWNHOUSE STRATAS
Strata Landscape Maintenance in Richmond
Richmond's strata stock splits two ways. In City Centre, high-rise and podium buildings put gardens on top of parkades, where soil is shallow and every planter depends on irrigation. Out in the residential neighbourhoods, townhouse complexes line up rows of unit front beds that residents notice every day. In both cases, the land is flat and low-lying, so in the wet months water sits in lawns and beds unless drains, grading and plant choice are managed. Our strata landscape maintenance builds each schedule around that, with consistent crews who know which corners pool after a heavy rain.
For Richmond Strata Councils
What most councils want from a landscaper is simple: for landscaping to stop coming up at meetings. You get a fixed contract with the scope written out by season, so there are no surprise extras to explain at the AGM, including drainage work flagged up front rather than billed after the fact. If owners ask whether the crew came, the visit log answers for you, and a missed visit means a free month of service.
For Property Managers in Richmond
Manage a mix of Richmond towers and townhouse complexes? You get one accountable contact for all of them and a crew that already knows each site. No chasing for updates: every visit is logged in the Client Portal with what was done and what is next, so you have proof on hand when a council or owner asks. Insurance certificates and our WorkSafeBC clearance letter come with every quote.

Commercial Landscaping in Richmond
As a commercial landscaping company in Richmond, BC, we look after business parks and light industrial sites in Ironwood and Bridgeport and near YVR, along with retail and mixed-use properties, for property management companies, building managers and owners. Commercial managers tell us what they need: a fixed budget line, walkways, entrances and parking kept clear of debris and ice to cut slip-and-fall risk, and one vendor for every season instead of three. On flat Richmond sites that also means keeping catch basins and swales clear before the rain does it for you.
Landscape Installation & Design in Richmond
For most Richmond stratas, installation work means refreshing tired beds, replanting where plants have drowned or died back, and fixing drainage where lawns stay soggy all winter. When a bigger change is due, we handle custom garden design, hardscaping and irrigation installation, working with strata councils and property managers on a scope and price set before work starts.
Seasonal Services & Snow Removal in Richmond
Richmond's seasons are mostly about water: fall leaf removal before leaves block drains, spring clean-ups once beds dry out, and irrigation tuned to summer watering rules. Snow is rare here, which is exactly why it catches properties off guard. When it comes, we clear walkways, entrances and parking areas so residents and customers stay on their feet.

Switching Landscapers in Richmond
Most Richmond councils don't switch landscapers because they want to. They switch because visits got skipped, beds were left to slide after the first year, or the same soggy corner flooded every winter and nobody fixed it. If that sounds familiar, the switch itself is simpler than it looks.
Not sure it's time? Read our reasons to switch your strata landscaper.

What Affects Landscaping Costs for Richmond Stratas
Every Richmond strata is priced on what the site actually needs, so two complexes with the same unit count can land at different numbers. These are the factors that move the price most.
Site size
Lawn, bed and hard-surface area across the property.
Bed density
Planted beds and unit front gardens take more hours than open lawn.
Visit frequency
Weekly in the growing season, and how often through winter.
Irrigation
Number of zones, age of the system, and start-up and winterization.
Drainage
Low-lying lawns and beds that hold water, and how many drains and catch basins need clearing.
Snow coverage
Whether walkways, entrances and parking are included.

Richmond Strata Landscaping FAQs
Do you service strata complexes in Steveston and Terra Nova?
Yes, we maintain townhouse and low-rise stratas in Steveston and Terra Nova, along with podium and courtyard gardens on City Centre towers. Tell us your address and we will confirm your supervisor.
How often will the crew visit our Richmond property?
Weekly or biweekly, backed by the Show-Up Guarantee: if we miss a scheduled visit, your next month is free.
How do you handle drainage on flat Richmond sites?
We clear drains and catch basins before the wet season, note where water pools on each visit, and recommend fixes such as regrading, drain repairs or replanting with plants that tolerate wet soil. Any fix is quoted at a fixed price before work starts.
Do you handle snow and ice in Richmond?
Yes. Snow and ice management for walkways, entrances and parking areas can be added to your maintenance contract, so one vendor covers every season, including the few days a year Richmond needs it.
How do you work with Richmond watering restrictions?
We set irrigation schedules to follow the lawn watering regulations that apply in Richmond and adjust them as restriction stages change through summer.
