Planting / Salt Spring Island
The living layer
of your landscape.
Planting and garden installation on Salt Spring Island. SOL brings planting plans to life, connecting garden beds and lawns with the built elements of your outdoor space.
A garden,
brought together.
Planting softens an entrance, frames a path and brings colour and texture to outdoor spaces. The relationship between plants, materials and architecture is an important part of the finished landscape.
Led by Taylor Willms, SOL Landscapes + Construction works with homeowners, landscape architects and designers on Salt Spring Island. We install the living elements of a landscape alongside paving, concrete and timber work, with the scope guided by your plans and the needs of the property.
Meet Taylor ↗Planting & garden installation
Planting plans, realised
Installation of trees, shrubs and ornamental grasses as part of your planting plan. Share the proposed plant list and layout so Taylor can review the installation scope with you and your designer.
Garden beds & borders
Planting around entrances, paths and outdoor gathering spaces. Bed preparation and the relationship to surrounding construction are discussed as part of the project.
Lawns & planted areas
Lawn installation considered alongside garden beds and built surfaces. Tell us about the area you want to establish and how it fits into the wider landscape.
A complete outdoor space
Planting coordinated with hardscaping and paving, concrete work, fences and timber structures. A shared scope helps establish the construction sequence.
Start with
your property.
Send Taylor a few photographs, your location on Salt Spring Island and a short description of the garden you have in mind. Include existing planting plans, a plant list or landscape drawings if you have them.
It is helpful to explain how you use the space, your preferred timing and approximate budget. Sun, shade, site access, deer exposure and water availability are useful details to raise when reviewing the proposed planting and installation requirements.
Discuss your planting project ↗Before we begin
Where does SOL install gardens?
SOL is based on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. Share your property location so Taylor can discuss access and the logistics of your planting project.
Do I need a planting plan before contacting Taylor?
You can get in touch before you have a finished plan. Share your ideas and site photographs so Taylor can discuss the construction and installation scope. If you are working with a landscape architect or designer, their planting plan and plant list will help define the work.
Can you install our landscape designer’s planting plan?
Yes. SOL works with homeowners, landscape architects and designers to install the living elements of a landscape. Send your drawings and plant list so the requirements can be reviewed together.
Can planting be included with a patio or fence project?
Yes. Planting can form part of a larger landscape construction project, including paving, concrete, fences and timber structures. Explore our landscape services.
When should I get in touch about planting?
Contact Taylor while you are planning the work so installation can be coordinated with any construction. Timing depends on the proposed plants, site conditions, availability and the wider project schedule.
How do I request a planting estimate?
Text Taylor at 778-322-7399 or send a project inquiry. Include your location, photographs, the work you have in mind, preferred timing and any plans or approximate budget.
