Landscape Designer

The first step would be to book a consultation with our landscape designer to discuss project details (vision, time frame, budget). You will be presented with 3D mockups. Another meeting will be held to further settle the remaining in-depth details. You will then receive a project estimate. The correct permits and codes will be taken care of prior to the start of the implementation phase.

Our professional landscape designers are well-versed in the latest trends and technologies, ensuring that your space is kept up to date and looks its best. They also provide expert advice and guidance on designing the perfect outdoor space to suit your needs, while helping you stay within budget. Professional landscapers have access to a vast range of resources that you may not have access to if doing it yourself, allowing them to create a unique and beautiful landscape quickly and efficiently.

The type of materials best suited to your climate and location will depend on several factors, including the weather and precipitation in your area, any existing soil composition, and other environmental factors. For example, stone is generally an excellent material for areas that experience a lot of rain or snow, as it is durable and will not deteriorate. For dryer climates, bricks or concrete may be more appropriate due to their ability to withstand heat better. Additionally, you should take into consideration the look you are trying to achieve with your hardscaping – certain materials may be better suited to create a specific aesthetic than others.

Typically speaking, landscaping and backyard improvements do not require permits. However, every municipality has its own bylaws. Our landscape design team is highly experienced in the field and has carried out a number of projects over the years. If you are unsure about the specific action required (if any) for your project, our landscape designers would be more than happy to guide you in obtaining the necessary permits to ensure your project runs as smoothly as possible.

Our landscape design team is fully licensed and insured. You can rely on us to bring your landscaping project to life in a safe, economical manner.

The amount of maintenance required for your hardscaping project will depend largely on the type of materials used and the complexity of the construction. Generally, basic hardscaping projects require minimal maintenance – sweeping away debris, keeping up with any repairs or replacements, and ensuring that drains and gutters are clear. However, more complex projects may require more maintenance. It is best to speak to our experts about your specific project to earn more about your required maintenance.

The amount of maintenance that will be required for your softscaping project will depend on the types of plants and materials you choose to include. In general, less-hardy plants and succulents may need more frequent attention, such as watering and pruning, while tougher plants may require less. Additionally, it is important to consider features such as pathways or gardens that may need regular cleaning or weeding in order to keep them looking attractive. Finally, any soil amendments or fertilizers added to your garden should be monitored to ensure they are meeting their intended purpose and not causing any damage to the surrounding environment.

When it comes to choosing the best shape and size of your pool, the most important thing to consider is how you plan on using it. If you are looking for a pool mainly for swimming laps, then a rectangular or lap-style pool will be ideal. On the other hand, if your primary goal is entertainment and relaxation, then an oval or free-form pool might be better suited. Additionally, factors such as space limitations and budget should also be taken into account when deciding on the size and shape of your pool.

When selecting materials for your outdoor kitchen, it is important to remember that they must be able to withstand exposure to the elements. Stainless steel and ceramic tile are popular choices as they are easy to clean and can tolerate heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Stone, such as granite or marble, is also a great choice for countertops and backsplashes as it is strong and durable. For flooring materials, brick pavers or concrete are good viable options. Lastly, wood can also be used in preparation areas or cabinetry if treated properly.

To ensure your landscape has year-round interest, consider planting a mixture of evergreen and deciduous plants. Evergreen plants will provide color and texture throughout the winter months when other plants have gone dormant. Meanwhile, deciduous plants provide foliage and colorful blooms during the warmer months of the year. Incorporating shrubs, trees, perennials, bulbs, annuals, and herbs into your landscape design can help you create a beautiful environment that is interesting all year round. Additionally, adding features like ponds, fireplaces, fountains or sculptures can also enhance your landscape’s overall aesthetic value.

Creating a cohesive landscape design requires careful consideration of a variety of elements. Start by making sure your plants, hardscapes, and other features are complementary. For example, if you use bold colored flowers, choose bricks or stones in earthy tones to contrast them. You should also be mindful of the heights of your plants and structures when building terraces or incorporating edges into your design. Consider how the sun energy will be distributed across your space throughout the day as well for optimal plant placement. Lastly, consider unifying elements like fences, benches or pathway designs that can bring all different aspects of your landscape together harmoniously.
