We live on the west coast of Vancouver BC. The area is north facing and subject to the wind and cold but does get a rather a lot of sun. The area is also very dry except when the rains come. We do not want anything that grows any higher than a foot or so as it will block the view on the lower level. In addition, we have recently purchased this house and are wanting to redesign the landscaping towards the Alpine look. I love things that are unique for example I would like to incorporate a large Inuksuk. Thank you for your time!!
