Job Summary
Benjamin Landscaping and Projects is a landscape construction and design-build company specializing in residential and commercial landscape construction, hardscape construction, and custom landscape design throughout Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.
We design and build complete outdoor spaces, combining custom landscape design, interlocking pavers, retaining walls, masonry, excavation, drainage, artificial turf, custom decks, carpentry, and outdoor structures into cohesive landscape projects.
Our projects range from complete backyard renovations and custom outdoor living spaces to paver driveways, patios, retaining walls, artificial turf installations, custom decks, and detailed landscape construction.
