Plan the complete installation

Built around your property and priorities.

An island installation needs a construction plan as well as a landscape plan. Before mobilizing to Salt Spring Island, we review access, material quantities, equipment needs and removal of excavated material. The aim is to coordinate the complete scope rather than discover missing supplies after the crew arrives.

Water supply also shapes the finished landscape. Tell us whether the property uses a community system, a well or stored water. We can compare a smaller irrigated garden, a natural lawn and an artificial-turf area around your priorities, with the maintenance and establishment needs of each explained in the proposal.

Services in Salt Spring Island

From preparation to the finished space.

Artificial turf for the areas you use most

Pet yards, compact lawns and putting greens can be designed as focused parts of a larger landscape. We plan drainage and a compacted base before fitting the turf, then provide product and care details with the installation scope.

Garden irrigation matched to the supply

Planting layout, exposure and available water guide the drip-zone plan. We coordinate tubing routes, valves and access points with beds, mulch and paths so the system can be maintained after construction.

Coordinated garden and hardscape work

Soil preparation, drainage, planting and pavers can be scheduled within one mobilization. Confirming quantities and the work sequence early helps reduce avoidable return trips.

Before construction

What we review for your island project.

Ferry and delivery sequence

Crew, equipment and bulk materials may need different arrangements. We review the practical crossing and site route, including the Crofton–Vesuvius connection, as part of mobilization planning.

Design around usable water

Provide any flow, pressure and storage information available. Irrigation zones must fit the actual supply, while plant choice and lawn area affect ongoing demand.

Access beyond the road

Long drives, grades, tight turns and limited staging space affect truck and machine access. Photographs of the route are as useful as photographs of the proposed garden or lawn.

Crofton–Vesuvius ferry information Ferry conditions are checked during scheduling; travel arrangements are confirmed for the project rather than promised from a fixed crossing time.

Common questions

Planning your installation.

Does RiverCity take projects on Salt Spring Island?

Yes, for suitable landscape, artificial turf and irrigation installation scopes. We mobilize from Campbell River and confirm the site visit, ferry logistics, materials and construction schedule before booking.

Is artificial turf completely maintenance-free?

No. It avoids mowing and lawn-growth irrigation, but still needs debris removal, brushing and appropriate cleaning. Pet areas may need rinsing. We explain the care requirements for the chosen product and its manufacturer warranty.

Can you design irrigation for a well or storage system?

We can assess a landscape irrigation layout around the available supply. Reliable flow, pressure and any storage or pumping constraints need to be established before zone sizes and components are selected.

Are ferry costs included in the quote?

The proposal accounts for the travel and mobilization needed for the agreed scope. Send the address, photos and dimensions so we can estimate crew, equipment and material requirements before confirming the price.
