For strata, commercial & property management

Landscape and hardscape capability for strata, commercial, and large residential properties.

Stone Form is a Surrey-based landscape and hardscape contractor working strata, commercial, and large residential property across the Lower Mainland. This page summarizes what we self-perform and the equipment on staff during evaluation.

1. 01

   Hardscape renovations

   Patios, retaining walls, paver driveways, fire-pit pads, outdoor kitchens, stairs, and stone veneer. We base every install on engineered sub-base — proper depth, geotextile, compacted lifts, edge restraint — because a beautiful surface fails fast on a thin base. Materials sourced from regional yards (Mutual, Mountain View, Bedrock) with a documented spec sheet.

   In scope

   • Concrete & flagstone patios with proper sub-base
   • Allan-block, segmental, and natural-stone retaining walls
   • Paver driveways & permeable installations
   • Outdoor stairs, fire pit surrounds, BBQ pads
   • Repair of failed installs from previous contractors
2. 02

   Driveway removal & replacement

   Concrete, asphalt, paver, and gravel driveways. We remove existing surfaces, rebuild the sub-base to engineered spec, and replace in your chosen finish. Permeable paver options available where municipal stormwater requires.

   In scope

   • Demolition, haul-out, and disposal
   • Sub-base prep with proper geotextile and aggregate
   • Concrete pour with reinforcement & control joints
   • Paver, permeable, or asphalt finish
   • Grade tie-ins to garage slab and street curb
3. 03

   Pathways & garden steps

   Flagstone, paver, gravel, and stepper pathways with proper edge restraint. We design lines that match how the property is actually used — front entry, garage-to-back-door, beds, gates, parkade doors — and specify slip-resistant finishes and grade for winter conditions on common property.

   In scope

   • Flagstone & natural-stone walks
   • Concrete or stone garden steps with proper risers
   • Decomposed granite & gravel walks with edging
   • Path lighting conduit (sub electrical for fixtures)
   • Slip-resistant finishes for winter conditions
4. 04

   Planters & raised beds

   Permanent planter installations, raised vegetable beds, and structural retaining planters. Designed for our climate — drainage holes that actually drain, soil profiles tuned to the plant pallet, and frost-resistant materials.

   In scope

   • Stone & concrete-block built-in planters
   • Corten and powder-coat steel raised beds
   • Western red cedar food-safe vegetable beds
   • Drip irrigation tied to existing zones
   • Soil custom-blended for the planting plan
5. 05

   Landscape renovations

   Front- and back-of-house rebuilds. We start at the grade and work up — soil quality, drainage paths, sun and shade, sight lines from windows and walkways. Planting plans use Pacific Northwest natives layered with structural evergreens so beds read intentional through winter as well as summer.

   In scope

   • Site analysis, grade & soil assessment
   • Planting plan with seasonal colour & low-water natives
   • Bed shaping, mulch beds, lawn establishment
   • Mature plant relocation where possible
   • Two-year establishment guarantee on installed plants
6. 06

   Garden bed creation, reestablishment, and rejuvenation

   New bed creation and full rejuvenation of existing beds. We re-shape lines, top up depleted soil with composted profile, re-edge in steel or stone, and re-layer planting for height, season, and sightlines from common-area windows and walkways. Includes reestablishment of beds that have been let go: weed and root removal, grade correction, and a fresh mulch finish.

   In scope

   • Audit existing planting; flag keep / move / replace
   • Edging rebuilt in steel, stone, or concrete
   • Topdressing with composted soil and bark mulch
   • New planting layered for height and bloom calendar
   • Drip-irrigation extensions where existing zones reach
7. 07

   Large-scale property cleanups

   When a property has gotten away from someone — overgrown, storm-damaged, full of debris, or after long deferred maintenance — Stone Form scopes a documented reset. Crews with decades of trade experience across landscape, hardscape, and grounds maintenance, plus in-house disposal and a before / during / after photo package so the council, insurer, or new owner has a complete record. Typical work includes selective tree removal, brush clearing, debris and dump runs, sod and weed removal, full hand-cuts on overgrown beds, and grade rebuild where erosion has set in.

   In scope

   • Brush, blackberry, ivy, knotweed clearance
   • Storm damage, downed limbs, debris haul-out
   • Overgrown lawn reset, bed reclamation, edging
   • Selective tree removal & stump grind (sub-arborist where required)
   • Photo documentation for insurance / strata / sale prep

   Not us

   • Hazardous-waste remediation (soil contamination)
   • Asbestos abatement
8. 08

   Pruning & seasonal shape

   Selective pruning of shrubs, hedges, and small trees following ANSI A300 best practice. We do not 'top' trees. For specimen trees over 30 ft we coordinate with a certified arborist.

   In scope

   • Hedge shaping (cedar, laurel, boxwood)
   • Ornamental shrub pruning by species & season
   • Fruit tree winter & summer pruning
   • Small-tree crown thin & raise (under 30 ft)
   • Renewal pruning for overgrown beds
9. 09

   Pressure washing

   Hot- and cold-water pressure washing with surface cleaners that protect the substrate. We pre-treat for moss and algae, mask sensitive plantings, and finish with sealing where the surface calls for it.

   In scope

   • Driveways, walkways, patios, pool decks
   • Fence and shed exteriors (cedar, vinyl, composite)
   • Wood deck stripping (cleaning, not refinishing)
   • Roof soft-wash for moss treatment
   • Sealer application on concrete & paver patios
10. 10

    Excavation & site grade

    We run our own compact equipment — 1.7T, 3.5T, and 5T classes — for excavation, trenching, and grade work. Common scopes include foundation strip-outs, footing trenches, drainage trenches, retaining-wall benches, and full-yard grade rebuild for new lawns or hardscape.

    In scope

    • Foundation strip-outs to engineered grade
    • Trenches for drainage, irrigation, and conduit
    • Retaining-wall bench cuts with compacted lifts
    • Site grading with laser level / GPS rover
    • Spoil disposal, including contaminated where permitted
11. 11

    Drainage diagnosis & rebuild

    When a yard floods, a basement seeps, or a slope is sliding, drainage is almost always the answer — but the diagnosis matters. We probe, dig test pits where needed, and design a system that ties into existing storm where possible. French drains, channel drains, dry wells, downspout extensions, and full regrading are all common scopes.

    In scope

    • Site investigation & water-path mapping
    • French drains in trenched gravel envelopes
    • Channel drains across hard surfaces
    • Dry wells, sump tie-ins, daylight outlets
    • As-built documentation of every line and depth
12. 12

    Soil, rock, and mulch delivery

    Bulk delivery of soil, rock, mulch, and aggregates by the yard. Topsoil, garden mix, drain rock, road base, bark mulch, cedar chip, decorative aggregates, and pallet stone. Single load or fleet day. We also haul demolition spoil and green waste out by the load. Tandem and tridem partners available for high-volume sites.

    In scope

    • Topsoil, garden mix, sand, drain rock, road base
    • Bark mulch, cedar chip, decorative aggregates
    • Cobble, flagstone, and pallet stone delivery
    • Demolition spoil & green-waste haul-out
    • Tandem & tridem partners for high-volume work
13. 13

    Concrete cutting, coring, placement, and reinstatement

    Controlled sawcutting, core drilling, removal, and reinstatement of concrete on residential, strata, and commercial sites. Used to open access for drainage tie-ins, conduit pulls, sleeve passes, and trench work without tearing out the surrounding slab. Cuts are wet to manage dust and slurry, edges are kept square for a clean re-pour, and reinstatement is finished to grade with matching joint lines.

    In scope

    • Walk-behind and hand saw cuts in slabs, aprons, curbs, and stair landings
    • Core drilling for drainage tie-ins, downspout leaders, and electrical conduit
    • Controlled break-out and haul-off of removed pieces
    • Re-pour and finish to existing grade with matched control joints
    • Slurry control and site clean-down at the end of each cutting day

    Not us

    • Engineered structural slab repair (we coordinate with the engineer of record)
    • Asbestos / hazardous-substrate cutting
