Landscaping, designed and built for the Island.

Examples of Our Work
Recent builds from Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Nanoose Bay, and the surrounding corridor.
Terraced stone walls stepping a lawn down to the water. 
Steps and stone walls tying a sloped garden together. 
A drilled boulder fountain, set in river rock. 
New beds, mulched and edged, along a driveway. 
A paver walkway and fresh beds on a new build. 
Paths and beds laid out around how the yard gets used. I asked Jay and the crew at The Sharp Design to overhaul our entire property and they delivered more than I imagined. Every step was clear, on schedule, and on budget.
