JUNE 10, 2024: PAVER CLEANING AND RE JOINTING PROJECT Coquitlam BC.

A very simple way to upgrade your home is landscape and hardscape maintenance. Check out these before and after pics of a patio/ walkway we re claimed in Coquitlam BC. If you are listing your home for sale, exterior landscaping is just as important as the inside home staging. This simple paver cleaning can improve your homes value by a lot. There is no need to replace the bricks or pavers, they can be re levelled, cleaned, and re jointed to look as good as new. If and when you sell your home the landscape upgrades will certainly pay off. In the Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Langley, Surrey and White Rock areas, most houses listed have very un-kept, disorderly and deteriorated landscapes. In many cases, the backyards are so disorderly that the half of the property is useless. Reclaiming your usable land with new landscaping sets your home listing far above the rest of the other comparable listings in the same area. Paver restoration and a good clean up should be done at a minimum.

Driveways, parking lots, patios and walkways need maintenance.

June 15, 2024: New artificial turf and putting green installation in Maple Ridge BC.

IN HOUSE ARTIFICIAL TURF INSTALLATIONS

Benjamin Landscaping completed a new Artificial Turf and Putting green in Maple Ridge for some great clients. We are one of the only landscape companies in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley that installs our own artificial turf IN HOUSE by Benjamin Landscaping employees. Most other companies sub contract out the delicate and detailed art of installing the turf and greens. We have perfected the craft ourselves with precision detailing with artificial turf and putting green installations. Many artificial turf installations can look terrible when installed incorrectly so it’s certainly recommended to have any contractor provide addresses to view previous turf installations before considering hiring them. Artificial Turf is a significant investment and you need to make sure the team you choose is right for the job.

June 1, 2024: Backyard landscape in Burke Mountain, Coquitlam BC.

Synthetic grass in Burke Mountain by Benjamin Landscaping and Projects.
ARTIFICIAL TURF SOLVES ALL DRAINAGE PROBLEMS AND HERE'S WHY:

Artificial Turf is not only the the nylon, polyethylene and polypropylene layers, it’s the full system including the base in which the turf is installed on. Typically, the turf is installed on top of 6″-8″ of compacted gravel as a firm base to pull the turf tight onto. The 6″-8″ gravel base makes a perfect drainage environment as all the water drains through the turf and gravel as it then goes into the ground sub base soils. 

Burke Mountain homes have inherrint drainage design issues which is fixed using an artificial turf system.

Yes, your soggy wet yard will be completely fixed with artificial turf installation, guaranteed. Lot’s of Burke Mountain homes built by the developer had only basic drainage designs and the rivers flowing down Burke Mountain where simply diverted with culverts between property lines using boulders found on site. This drainage was suitable enough for the developer to sell the properties but not suitable enough for you to perfectly enjoy your yard in all seasons. 

Benjamin landscaping has completed a new backyard landscape project on Burke Mountain with the use of artificial grass, light density, low maintenance gardens and a Coastal Design landscape style. When you live in a coastal environment and there's a nature path behind your yard, it perfectly fits the use of natural basalt stone stairs, granite boulders, coastal low maintenance plants and aged mulch. With pet friendly synthetic grass, there is no mowing, no weeding, no seeding, no top dressing, no de thatching and it always looks perfect. The best point about artificial turf for the Burke Mountain homes is that most of the development on Burke Mountain has darker backyards with less natural sunlight. If your Burke Mountain yard has low sunlight, it's reasonable to expect poor performance with natural grass even with the full time lawn treatments. Growing lawn is a sensitive and complex process especially in low sunlight environments since lawn feeds primarily on sunlight and water. If your backyard is small it makes even more economical cense to switch to artificial grass.

The current cities which allow artificial turf in the Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley areas are: Coquitlam, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster, Burnaby, Langley and North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Abbotsford, Maple Ridge. Currently the city of Vancouver does not permit the installations of artificial turf.
