What is included and what is not, before the contract starts
Nothing left on common property after a visit
BC Landscape and Nursery Association standards
Ladner, Tsawwassen, North Delta and Tilbury
Complexes with a clear run to Boundary Bay or the Strait take salt laden wind. It burns the seaward face of the boundary cedar, and that hedge belongs to all of you.
Water sits close to the surface on the flats. Common property lawn stays soft, heavy mowers rut it, and ruts turn into owner complaints and then into repairs.
Most Delta complexes sit on flat open ground. The shared boundary planting is doing a real job as shelter, not decorating the edge of the parking.
Annacis Island and Tilbury are strata too. Those frontages are the first thing a customer sees, and access hours decide when we can be on site.
| Area of Delta | What we usually find | How we schedule it |
|---|---|---|
| Ladner and Ladner Village | Townhouse complexes on low lying ground. Lawns stay soft and beds hold water well into spring. | Lighter machines, drainage watched |
| Tsawwassen and Beach Grove | The most exposed complexes in Delta. Salt wind off the Strait hits the seaward boundary planting hardest. | Windward face assessed every visit |
| North Delta and Sunshine Hills | Up on the slope above the Fraser. Drier ground, older complexes and mature trees on common property. | More tree and structural work |
| Boundary Bay | Wide open frontage with nothing upwind. Shared boundary planting is working as shelter for the whole complex. | Screening protected, never cut hard |
| Annacis Island and Tilbury | Industrial and commercial strata frontages where the grounds are the first thing a visitor sees. | Scheduled around access hours |
One contact instead of forty, a written scope so nobody argues about what is included, and the same crew on site every week so problems get noticed before an owner reports them. You also get our recommendations in writing, which is what a council actually needs for the minutes.
Yes, walkway and entry clearing is part of a scheduled strata contract when snow falls. It matters more than people expect in Delta, because the complexes with the most exposed frontage are also the ones where wind drifts it back across the path.
Townhouse and low rise residential strata across Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta, plus industrial and commercial strata frontages on Annacis Island and around Tilbury. Larger uniform grounds are what a scheduled programme suits best.
We walk the property with whoever holds the plan, mark what is common property and what is not, look at the condition of the boundary planting and the lawn, and note access and gate codes. You get a written scope and price afterwards, and the number does not move.
Usually not completely, if it faces the water. Brown on the seaward face in Tsawwassen or Boundary Bay is salt burn, and cedar will not regrow from bare brown wood. We can reshape around it and protect what is still green, and we will tell you in writing which sections are past saving so replacement can be planned across budget years.
That depends on your strata plan, and it is exactly the thing worth settling before a contract starts. We mark limited common property explicitly as in scope or out of scope rather than leaving the crew to guess. We do not prune an owner’s own planting unless we are asked.
Yes. We agree a day and a window, work to it, and keep noise to the times the council sets. On industrial frontages we schedule around access hours instead.
We assess them and do the pruning that keeps walkways and parking clear. Limbs over a path are a liability question rather than a tidiness one, so they get looked at and written up rather than left to the next visit.
