What M2 Landscape Architecture And Arboriculture Ltd does

M2 Landscape Architecture and Arboriculture Ltd (M2LA) is a privately held professional services consultancy headquartered in New Westminster, British Columbia, providing integrated landscape architecture and arboriculture design and planning services. Established in 2011 as the successor to DMG Landscape Architects (founded 1982), the firm operates with a four-person team led by Principal Meredith Mitchell, a registered Landscape Architect in British Columbia, Alberta, and Washington State with Certified Arborist and TRAQ credentials. Services span landscape design, arboricultural design, and municipal planning support, including construction and post-construction review, with the firm able to act as Prime Consultant or as part of multi-disciplinary teams.

M2LA serves private developers, public sector clients, and institutional customers across Metro Vancouver, the rest of British Columbia, and Alberta, with work spanning multi-family residential, commercial, industrial, institutional (healthcare, seniors, daycare), and public works projects. Notable portfolio items include the Georgie Award-winning Royce Residential condominium, the LEED Gold-certified Riverview Mental Health and Addiction Center, and the LEED Gold North Vancouver City Operations Yard. The firm carries professional liability and comprehensive insurance and is recognized for deep familiarity with Metro Vancouver municipal landscape approval processes.

The business operates on a fee-for-service, project-by-project basis with no publicly disclosed pricing, no disclosed revenue, and no external funding or institutional ownership. Client acquisition is primarily through referrals, the firm portfolio website, and Principal Mitchell's involvement with the British Columbia Society of Landscape Architects and Advisory Design Panels for New Westminster and Maple Ridge. Distribution is direct professional engagement, with no channel partners, app products, or API integrations; the company is a pure-play consultancy with no disclosed technology, AI, or data product layer.
