Bowen Island Landscaping Design

Bowen Island is an idyllic island community accessible via a 20-minute ferry from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver BC. Despite this near proximity to the mainland, it may as well be a thousand miles away. The concept of “island life” is as applicable on Bowen as any archipelago between Howe Sound and Hawaii.

The isle of nearly 4000 residents is peppered with waterfront, meadow, and mountainside homes alike. While your household appreciates the vastness of Bowen Island’s natural surroundings, you desire a functional and aesthetic upgrade to the exterior for enhanced quality of life. Correction; enhanced quality of island life. As a result, you’re on the hunt for a landscape designer who understands the distinct features of the topography. And therein lies the conundrum.

Bowen Island’s topography is notable different than that of neighboring communities across the Howe Sound. The topography is rugged, with much of the Island characterized by shallow soils and numerous bedrock outcrops. Moreover, property owners are often challenged by intrusive igneous rock with greenstone and diorites in association with basalts. This is in addition to smaller pockets of graywacke and chert outcroppings. Does this all sound somewhat confusing or even overwhelming? That’s how most landscape designers on the other side of water and Lion’s Gate Bridge feel too. Fortunately, you’ve come to the right place.
