Final Grade
Grading is the most important aspect of a landscaped yard! By shaping and sloping the ground properly, water is kept away from the foundation of your house and out of your basement.
Each municipal area has both rough (clay) and final (soil) grading requirements that must be met. We guarantee your grading will meet municipal standards, even if it needs to be touched up, our price remains the same.
We will even help guide you through the process, telling you which documents we need, and calling in the inspections for you.
Planting
Add beauty and curb appeal to your yard utilizing the functionality and feature elements of hardy, re-occurring plant materials. Plants can be used to disguise unsightly items such as electrical boxes or the neighbours shed, as well as to create privacy.
We understand the importance of choosing plants that are suited to the weather, soil, sunlight, and water conditions in which they will be planted. Plants will also be chosen based on your preferences for colour, size, function, and maintenance requirements.
Our softscape installation certified staff will ensure your plants are planted properly, we guarantee it.
Ground Cover
Add beauty while decreasing the maintenance of your yard by placing rock or mulch. Both rock and mulch come in a large variety of colours and textures. Planting shrubs and perennials in rock or mulch beds adds colour and dimension to your outdoor space. Eliminate the need for a string trimmer with strategic placement and shaping of rock or mulch bed areas.
Retaining Walls
Make unmanageable space more functional with the structural strength and elegance of brick retaining walls. Retaining walls can be used to flatten out large slopes, create raised or lowered areas for patios, reduce soil erosion, or to create raised planting beds.
Bricks are available in a large variety of sizes, colours, and styles that can add visual interest to any property. Retaining walls can also be made out of boulders – please see the information about natural stone.

Paving stones can be used for sidewalks, patios, driveways, landings, and even as a lawn edging.
