Landscaping combines art and science to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing extension of indoor living to the outdoors. Landscape design mixes human technology (houses and buildings) into the natural surroundings. The Landscaping Horticulturalists at Oceanview Garden Centre and Landscaping have an extensive working knowledge of artistic elements (colour, line, form, texture, and scale) and design principles (unity, balance, transition, focalization, proportion, rhythm, repetition, and simplicity).

Oceanview Garden Centre and Landscaping is nationally and provincially recognized for our award winning design. Our unique approach incorporates the basic steps of plot planning, on-site analysis, needs assessments, and plant selection/placement with inspiring artistic vision.

The Oceanview Garden Centre and Landscaping design team are Artists by Nature.
