About Our Xeriscaping Services in Burnaby
At Legacy Landscaping Burnaby, we specialize in professional xeriscaping, a smart and sustainable landscaping approach designed to minimize water use without sacrificing beauty. For homeowners facing high water bills or seasonal water restrictions, our water wise landscaping provides a practical, long-term solution. We create lush, dynamic gardens using a combination of native perennials, strategic hardscaping, and efficient irrigation. This method goes beyond simple rock gardens; it's a holistic system that improves your soil, supports local biodiversity, and drastically cuts down on maintenance time. In our 14 years of experience, we've seen how a well-designed xeriscape can solve the common problem of a dry, struggling yard, providing vibrant color and texture year-round. Our commitment is to deliver a landscape that is both environmentally responsible and perfectly suited to your property's unique character. Our technical approach to xeriscaping is grounded in horticultural science and proven best practices. The process begins with a thorough analysis of your property's soil composition. We then focus on significant soil amendment, incorporating organic matter to improve water retention and aeration, which is critical for deep root watering. We practice 'hydrozoning,' grouping plants with similar water needs together to maximize irrigation efficiency. For irrigation, we install high-efficiency drip irrigation systems that deliver water directly to the plant roots, eliminating wasteful evaporation. Our designs often integrate permeable pavers and gravel hardscape elements that allow rainwater to percolate back into the ground, reducing runoff and helping to recharge the local aquifer. We also employ specific mulching techniques, using materials like bark or stone to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature for a healthier garden ecosystem. Working with homeowners in Burnaby, from Deer Lake to Government Road, has given us firsthand experience with our region's specific climate challenges. We design landscapes that thrive through our wet winters and increasingly hot, dry summers.
