Recent Project Highlight: Lambton County

Before: This Lambton County property began as a blank slate with a newly built home and bare ground (no grass or gardens in sight). The homeowners dreamed of a welcoming front entrance and an outdoor entertaining area, but their yard’s sloping terrain and clay soil posed a challenge. We saw an opportunity to design a unique solution that blended beauty with practicality.

After: In the front yard, we installed a graceful curved interlocking stone walkway accented by natural armour stone edging and freshly mulched garden beds. This defined entry path not only boosts curb appeal but also improves drainage on the sloped yard. Now, when guests arrive, they’re guided from the gravel driveway to the front door by an inviting walkway that looks as if it’s always belonged there.

After: In the backyard, we created a circular paver patio entertainment area using an intricate stone pattern. Set just off the home’s walkout basement, this spacious patio provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining and cozy firepit nights. We integrated the design with the existing concrete retaining walls and made sure to address grading for proper runoff, so even after a heavy rain, the patio stays enjoyable and puddle-free.

After: A bird’s-eye view of the completed project showcases how everything comes together – from the front walkway and landscaped garden beds to the backyard patio oasis. The once-barren yard is now a fully realized landscape with layered visual interest. Natural stone steps and retaining walls create gentle terraces, and new shrubs and a young tree were added to bring life and colour. This Lambton County landscaping makeover is a great example of our team’s creativity and attention to detail from start to finish.

FAQ

How long does a typical project take?

Project timelines can vary, but most of our residential landscaping projects are completed in about one to three weeks. The duration depends on the scope – for example, a simple front walkway might be finished in under a week, while a full backyard makeover could take a few weeks. We’ll provide a clear schedule during your consultation so you know what to expect from start to finish.

What’s included in your free design consultation?

Our free design consultation is an in-depth introduction to your project. We’ll meet with you (at your home or virtually) to discuss your ideas, wish list, and budget. During the consultation, we often take measurements and photos of your property and then provide you with a custom design plan or sketch. You’ll also receive a no-obligation quote, and we’ll answer any questions you have about materials, timelines, or anything else.

Do you handle permits and site prep?

Absolutely – we take care of permits, site preparation, and all the prep work needed before installation begins. Our team will handle tasks like obtaining any necessary building permits and utility locates, as well as demolition, grading, and proper drainage setup. You can relax knowing we’ll prep the site correctly and ensure everything is built to code. From start to finish, we manage the heavy lifting (and the paperwork) for you.
