Free On-Site Consultation

Book a complimentary site meeting where we listen to your goals, assess drainage and sun patterns, measure key elements, and discuss budgets; you receive actionable guidance, early material suggestions, and a clear next-step plan for concept development, approvals, and realistic execution timelines tailored to your property.

What to Expect During the Visit

Your designer arrives prepared to walk the property, review utility access, inspect grading, and discuss must-have features like patios, lighting, or planting borders, translating your ideas into priorities and feasibility notes, while explaining maintenance implications and potential phasing strategies that align with your investment expectations.

Measurements and Site Analysis Tools

We document elevations, slopes, and obstructions using laser measures, levels, and photo capture, noting existing plant health, privacy concerns, and noise sources; this data informs drainage plans, planting zones, and hardscape layout, reducing rework and ensuring your project avoids costly surprises once installation begins.

Post-Visit Deliverables and Next Steps

Following the consultation, you receive a concise summary outlining goals, constraints, budget ranges, and recommended design scope, accompanied by an estimated timeline and a proposed concept package, enabling you to confidently approve deliverables, prepare for surveys if necessary, and secure preferred installation windows ahead of seasonal demand.

Our Design Process

We guide you from discovery to finalized construction drawings, using collaborative workshops, revised concept iterations, and material mockups; you see how each decision impacts aesthetics, durability, maintenance effort, and costs, ensuring the final design reflects your lifestyle, site constraints, and desired long-term property value.

Native and Hardy Species Recommendations

To ensure resilience and ecological value, we emphasize native and regionally adapted plants, mixing evergreen structure, flowering interest, and pollinator support; plant placement considers snow storage zones, roof drainage, and driveway splash, preventing winter damage and maintaining year-round curb appeal with minimal inputs.

Sourcing Premium Materials

We compare natural stone, engineered pavers, composite decking, and cedar, assessing availability, lead times, slip resistance, colorfastness, and maintenance requirements; supplier relationships enable competitive pricing and consistent quality, while sample boards and mockups help you touch finishes before finalizing critical material decisions.

All-Season Interest Strategies

Our planting designs layer textures, bark interest, seed heads, and conifer silhouettes, adding lighting to highlight winter structure; perennials are chosen for staggered bloom times, and groundcovers help suppress weeds, ensuring your landscape remains compelling from early spring thaw through snow-covered months without excessive upkeep.

Sustainable & Climate-Ready Landscapes

We embed sustainability into drainage strategies, plant choices, and material selections, reducing water use, fertilizer needs, and long-term maintenance; rain gardens, permeable surfaces, and drought-tolerant plantings deliver resilience while enhancing biodiversity, supporting pollinators, and improving soil health for lasting, beautiful, and responsible outdoor spaces.

Water-Wise Irrigation and Grading

We design grading that directs runoff away from structures and into planted areas, then implement drip irrigation, smart controllers, and weather sensors; these strategies reduce waste, protect foundations, and keep plants consistent without overwatering, delivering sustainability benefits alongside reliable performance under variable weather conditions.

Soil Health and Stormwater Management

By testing soil texture and organic matter, we tailor amendments and mulch depth, improving infiltration and root vitality; bioswales, rain chains, and permeable pavers slow and filter stormwater, easing municipal system loads and meeting local guidelines while preserving attractive, functional outdoor spaces through heavy rains and snowmelt.

Low-Maintenance, High-Impact Choices

Design decisions prioritize durable surfaces, resilient plants, and simplified bed geometry, minimizing pruning, watering, and repair while maintaining visual impact; we choose rust-resistant hardware, stain-resistant materials, and weed-suppressing groundcovers, so your landscape remains polished with manageable upkeep across changing seasons and busy schedules.

Hardscaping & Outdoor Living

From inviting patios and walkways to shade structures and feature lighting, we craft outdoor rooms that extend your living space, improve flow, and withstand Canadian weather; thoughtful materials, drainage considerations, and safety codes ensure comfort, longevity, and timeless appeal for family gatherings and entertaining.

Patios, Walkways, and Driveways

We engineer base depths for freeze-thaw cycles, select pavers or stone for traction and longevity, and integrate edging and drainage to prevent heave; patterns and borders add sophistication, while lighting and planting soften transitions, creating safe, elegant circulation through every part of your property year-round.

Decks, Pergolas, and Shade Structures

Our structural designs account for snow loads, wind exposure, and long-term durability, pairing treated lumber, cedar, or composite options with concealed fasteners for clean finishes; pergolas, privacy screens, and planters create intimacy and shade, enhancing comfort while complementing architecture and maximizing usable shoulder-season days.

Fire Features, Lighting, and Outdoor Kitchens

We design gas or wood-burning fire features with proper clearances, integrate task and ambient lighting for safety and mood, and plan outdoor kitchens with utilities, ventilation, and durable countertops; the result is functional, weather-ready spaces that elevate daily routines and four-season enjoyment.

Your build follows a clear schedule with checkpoints, safety protocols, and quality controls; we coordinate deliveries, manage trades, and communicate progress, keeping disruption minimal while ensuring precision, cleanliness, and adherence to design intent through every stage, from groundbreaking to final walkthrough and client handover.

  • Permitting and Scheduling We prepare drawings for approvals, align with municipal review timelines, and reserve crews and materials around seasonal constraints; contingency buffers and transparent updates keep you informed, reducing delays and securing an efficient installation window that protects plant health and minimizes weather-related risks.
  • Site Preparation and Safety Our crews establish protective barriers, mark utilities, and manage erosion control before excavation; debris is handled responsibly, staging areas are organized, and daily cleanups preserve neighbor relations, ensuring safety, compliance, and a professional jobsite that respects your property and community throughout construction.
  • Quality Control and Handover We verify base compaction, slope tolerances, joint integrity, and plant placement, documenting results with photos; a comprehensive handover includes watering schedules, product warranties, and maintenance guidance, equipping you to care for your new landscape with confidence from day one.

Permits, Codes, and Compliance

We navigate local bylaws, setbacks, tree protection, and conservation guidelines, preparing compliant drawings and coordinating inspections; proactive communication with municipal offices and utility locates prevents delays, fines, or rework, keeping your project safe, legal, and aligned with community and environmental standards.

Bylaws and Setbacks Across Provinces

We interpret provincial and municipal requirements for fences, decks, path widths, and accessory structures, adjusting designs to respect setbacks, lot coverage limits, and drainage rules; this diligence eliminates surprises during approvals and ensures your landscape integrates seamlessly with neighborhood regulations and expectations.

Utility Locates and Safety Protocols

Before digging, we secure utility locates and verify markings against plans, then establish safe excavation practices and tool restrictions near services; these steps protect crews, infrastructure, and schedules, reducing risk while maintaining a clean, orderly site that satisfies inspectors and insurer requirements.

Environmental and Heritage Considerations

Where conservation areas, tree bylaws, or heritage overlays apply, we propose sensitive solutions and phased approvals, specifying root protection zones, permeable surfaces, and reversible constructions; this approach preserves valued resources while delivering functional, attractive landscapes that meet regulatory and community standards.
