Professional Landscape Design in Nanaimo & Surrounding Areas

At TerraTech Excavating, our professional landscape design services are built around one core principle: great design only matters if it can actually be built. We specialize in practical, construction-ready landscape plans for larger residential and commercial projects—balancing aesthetics, drainage, access, and long-term performance so your project succeeds in the real world, not just on paper.

Based in Nanaimo and serving surrounding communities, we work with homeowners, builders, and developers to design outdoor environments that fit the land, respect local conditions, and support long-term use, value, and durability.

Landscape Design Built for Nanaimo & Coastal Conditions

Landscaping in the Nanaimo region presents real challenges—sloped properties, variable soil conditions, heavy seasonal rainfall, and complex drainage requirements. Our landscape designs are developed with these realities in mind from the very beginning.

We don’t create decorative plans that fall apart once excavation starts. Every TerraTech design accounts for grading, soil stability, water management, equipment access, and construction sequencing. The result is a landscape plan that moves efficiently from design to excavation to completed build—without costly surprises.

Whether you’re planning a full property transformation or designing a site for a new build, our landscape design services ensure your investment is functional, durable, and visually cohesive.

Our Professional Landscape Design Process

Site Evaluation & Consultation

We assess topography, slope, drainage patterns, access routes, and existing features while gaining a clear understanding of your goals and the scale of your project.

Concept Development

We design integrated layouts that combine structural elements, hardscaping, and functional outdoor spaces while addressing retaining requirements, circulation, and water flow.

Build-Ready Planning

Plans are developed with real construction in mind—clear elevations, material intent, and logical sequencing that supports efficient excavation and long-term performance.

Design-to-Build Integration

Because TerraTech also handles excavation and landscape construction, your project transitions seamlessly from design into the build phase.
