Sustainability Built Into Every Project

Sustainable landscape design plays an important role in responsible stormwater management and air quality, issues that are especially important in the Lower Mainland and increasingly prioritized by municipalities across the regions where we work. Landesign’s water infiltration systems are designed to naturally manage rainwater by allowing it to soak back into the ground, reducing runoff, supporting natural hydrology, and easing pressure on municipal infrastructure. We also integrate trees and shrubs that capture carbon, produce oxygen, and improve air quality—aligning our project designs with municipal sustainability goals while creating healthier, more resilient landscapes.

We take pride in contributing to LEED-certified and environmentally responsible projects by integrating sustainable materials and practices at every stage. We source plants from local nurseries with clean plant certificates to ensure healthy, pest-free stock, and we rely on locally produced materials to reduce transportation, lower carbon emissions, and support a more sustainable supply chain. This approach not only benefits small businesses but also minimizes environmental impact and strengthens the communities where we work. By aligning project goals with green building standards and local partnerships, we create landscapes that are both environmentally responsible and socially impactful.

Our sustainability approach also emphasizes supporting biodiversity and healthy ecosystems while enhancing the landscape's beauty. By incorporating diverse, site-appropriate trees, shrubs, and native wildflowers, we create vibrant, colourful spaces that provide essential habitat and food sources for birds, bees, butterflies, and other beneficial species. These plantings support pollinator activity, strengthen local ecosystems, and bring seasonal interest and visual richness to each project, contributing to landscapes that are both ecologically resilient and visually engaging.

At the heart of our sustainability efforts is a commitment to people as well as the environment. Landesign’s team brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, and we view this diversity as one of our greatest strengths. By fostering an inclusive and empowering workplace, we build a culture where everyone’s voice is valued and collaboration thrives. This focus on diversity not only strengthens our team and projects but also contributes to resilient, connected communities—demonstrating that sustainability extends beyond the landscape to the people and relationships that shape it.
