"Gemella Design recommends Easy Living for landscape work because we have experienced the following. Easy living demonstrates: Strong communication skills needed to coordinate construction. Ability to interpret construction drawings with an aesthetic sensibility. A body of knowledge of construction, horticulture, design, and maintenance practices. An approach to the work that is team minded and to build relationships. Carry out work in a timely manner to meet project schedules. Negotiate fair budgets, and complete the work on budget with quality materials and workmanship.

Acer circinatum is a lovely native maple that enjoys a cool understory location. This small multi branched tree/ large shrub is overlooked in pacific coast landscapes.
The fall colour is extremely good and the structure of the tree is very pleasing. A good addition to any garden.
Beautiful fall colour and an upright habit make this tree a good choice for your garden. The maple like foliage turns a brilliant red late in the fall. Prefers some moisture, and thrives in most locations on Vancouver Island.
Prunus akebono
Early flowering cherry which is very useful in a small garden. Light pink single flowers start in March.
Prunus lusitanica
Laurels are very useful in a large landscape and this one is no exception. It does well in full shade or full sun, very accommodating. It will develop into a large plant in time unless pruned. Very good hedging plant, a nice alternative to the cedar.
Styrax japonicus
Styrax japonicus is a small well behaved tree which is appropriate for the small garden. White flowers emerge in June and form small woody seed capsules that persist through the winter. It enjoys sun to part shade and is very adaptable.
Thuja plicata "Excelsa"
A vigorous hedging form of our native western red cedar. Fast growing, up to 5' per year when the right growing conditions are met. Likes some moisture during the growing season, it is well suited for most landscapes.
