Salmon Creek Mid-Century Modern Revitalization

A Timeless Outdoor Evolution

Grasstains breathed new life into this Vancouver Salmon Creek mid-century property, replacing an outdated landscape with a sophisticated, high-functioning environment that respects the home's original architectural character. The transformation focused on creating a balance between structural clean lines and lush, organic movement. By integrating premium materials like natural cedar and stone masonry with modern infrastructure, we established a private oasis that provides visual interest and functional utility in every season.

The property now features a complete perimeter of new horizontal cedar fencing, providing a warm, modern backdrop for the revitalized grounds. A custom-designed water feature serves as the landscape's sensory anchor, offering a tranquil focal point visible from the new paver patio and winding pathways. To ensure long-term vitality, we executed a full lawn renovation supported by a high-efficiency smart irrigation system, while curated year-round plantings provide a shifting tapestry of color and texture throughout the year.

Project Features:

Horizontal Cedar Fencing – Custom-built privacy fencing that aligns with mid-century design principles while providing a modern, clean aesthetic.

Artisanal Water Feature – A bespoke water element designed to provide soothing sound and a sophisticated visual center for the outdoor living space.

Modern Paver Patio & Paths – High-quality paver installations that create defined zones for relaxation and seamless movement across the property.

Complete Lawn Renovation – A total overhaul of the existing turf, utilizing premium sod and soil preparation for a resilient, lush green space.

Smart Irrigation Integration – The installation of a fully automated, water-efficient system to maintain the new lawn and diverse planting beds.

Seasonal Botanical Palette – A dense planting design featuring a variety of species selected for their architectural form and year-round performance in the Pacific Northwest.

By marrying classic mid-century lines with modern landscape technology, Grasstains turned this outdated site into a premier example of functional outdoor luxury and curb appeal in the Vancouver area.
