About Our Studio
We are a Canadian landscape design–build team blending licensed designers, certified installers, and horticulturists, uniting 3D creativity with construction pragmatism; our mission is resilient beauty, transparent process, and responsible choices that make outdoor living effortless, enduring, and distinctly local.
Climate-Responsive Layouts
We study sun angles, prevailing winds, snow drifting, and shade patterns across seasons, positioning terraces, kitchens, play zones, and pathways to capture light, block gusts, shed meltwater, and protect plantings, delivering comfortable microclimates that extend outdoor living well beyond peak summer months.

Regional Materials Palette
Selecting locally quarried stone, FSC-certified lumber, recycled aggregates, and regionally proven pavers reduces transport emissions, supports Canadian suppliers, and ensures predictable performance, compatible colours, and easy replacement, while detailed specifications control slip resistance, texture, and finishes suited to freeze–thaw and winter traction needs.

Accessible and Family-Friendly Use
Universal design principles guide gentle slopes, continuous handrails, generous landings, and contrasting edges, supporting strollers, mobility aids, children, and pets safely, while lighting, gate hardware, and low-maintenance surfaces minimize hazards, discourage trips, and deliver dependable footing in rain, snow, and shoulder seasons.

3D Landscape Planning
Experience decisions before building through accurate site modeling, photorealistic materials, seasonal planting simulations, and lighting studies, allowing confident choices, faster approvals, and fewer surprises on site, with coordinated drawings for grading, drainage, structures, planting, and construction-ready details aligned to budget.
- Photorealistic Renderings High-resolution stills reveal stone patterns, jointing, board orientations, and realistic shadows at different times of day, while seasonal scenes demonstrate spring bloom, autumn colour, and winter structure, enabling clear comparisons between options without guesswork or costly mid-construction changes.
- Immersive Walkthroughs Browser-based or headset walkthroughs let you explore scale, sightlines, and privacy in true proportion, testing furniture layouts, step heights, and kitchen reach zones, while toggling night mode previews lighting layers and safe circulation under snow cloud conditions typical of Canadian evenings.
- Collaborative Revisions We capture feedback in structured rounds, annotate change requests directly on views, and track decisions with versioned models and drawings, aligning scope and cost, reducing rework, and giving stakeholders, neighbours, and municipal reviewers clear, coordinated information that accelerates consensus.
Sustainable Installations
Build with purpose using permeable surfacing, native plant communities, efficient irrigation, and durable, low-carbon materials, reducing runoff, heat, and maintenance while improving habitat, soil health, and resilience to droughts, storms, and winter extremes across Canada’s diverse regions and microclimates.
Water Management Systems
We integrate permeable pavers, rain gardens, French drains, and cisterns to slow, spread, and store stormwater, protecting foundations and neighbours while reusing captured rain for drip irrigation, supporting lush planting through dry spells without stressing municipal supplies or your utility bills.
Low-Carbon Construction
Material schedules prioritize cement blends with supplementary cementitious materials, recycled content aggregates, and locally fabricated steel, while efficient logistics, compact equipment, and modular detailing reduce idling, waste, and cuts, shrinking embodied carbon without compromising strength, warranty coverage, or long-term serviceability.
Biodiversity and Habitat
Layered plantings combine canopy, understory, shrubs, and groundcovers with nectar, seeds, and winter shelter, inviting pollinators and birds, while avoiding invasive species and using organic mulches, leaf litter, and microhabitats to support beneficial insects and healthy, self-sustaining garden ecology.
Build & Construction
Our licensed crews and vetted partners manage excavation, base preparation, structures, utilities, and planting with safety-first practices, detailed sequencing, and clean sites, coordinating inspections and deliveries to protect neighbours, minimize disruption, and deliver excellent craftsmanship on predictable schedules.
Site Preparation and Grading
Laser-guided grading sets stable subgrades, accurate slopes, and back-of-curb transitions, while soil tests inform amendment rates for rooting and drainage; erosion controls, silt fences, and covered stockpiles keep sediment contained and municipal inspectors satisfied during wet weather.
Hardscape Craftsmanship
We construct frost-resistant bases with proper depth, geotextiles, and compaction, set edge restraints, and detail soldier courses or mitred corners for crisp geometry, integrating steps, seat walls, and planters with consistent reveals and drainage, ready for winters and frequent freeze–thaw cycles.
Quality Assurance and Handover
Checklists verify elevations, slopes, compaction, valve operation, lighting circuits, and plant health before walkthrough, while as-built drawings, maintenance guides, and warranties are issued digitally, ensuring you understand care routines, settings, and seasonal steps for long-term performance.
Canadian Climate Performance
Design decisions anticipate severe temperature swings, heavy snow, de-icing salts, and intense rain, specifying stable bases, resilient species, protective finishes, and clever drainage paths that keep surfaces safe, plantings vigorous, and structures intact across winters coast to coast.
Freeze–Thaw Engineering
We calculate base depths per soil type and loading, specify polymeric or permeable jointing sands, and choose paver systems with interlocking geometry and edge restraint, controlling heave, ponding, and migration for stable patios and driveways after repeated winter cycles.
Snow, Salt, and Drainage
Salt-tolerant plant lists, sealed metals, and dense paver finishes resist chloride damage, while layout planning preserves snow storage zones away from planting; trench drains and discreet catch basins move meltwater fast, preventing refreeze slicks on steps and walks.
Wildfire and Storm Resilience
In fire-prone zones, we increase defensible space with non-combustible surfaces, irrigated green buffers, and pruned canopies; in storm corridors, we brace structures, use deeper footings, and create overflow paths, ensuring safer outdoor spaces during extreme events.
Outdoor Living Features
Elevate daily life with comfortable, functional amenities including shaded structures, outdoor kitchens, warming elements, and layered lighting, thoughtfully integrated with utilities, storage, and privacy to serve gatherings, quiet mornings, and four-season enjoyment without clutter or costly retrofits.
Decks, Pergolas, and Privacy
Engineered footings, helical piles where needed, rot-resistant lumber, and powder-coated hardware deliver long life; adjustable screens and lattice manage wind and overlook, while vine-friendly trellises soften edges and provide adaptable shade without blocking cherished views.
Fire, Cooking, and Heat
CSA-approved gas lines, proper clearances, and heat-shielded details make fireplaces, burners, and pizza ovens safe and efficient; wind baffles, seating geometry, and storage for fuel keep gatherings comfortable through shoulder seasons and cool Canadian evenings.
Lighting and Controls
Low-voltage LED fixtures create safe steps, inviting patios, and dramatic plant accents using minimal power; photocells, timers, and smart app controls automate scenes, support dark-sky goals with warm optics, and simplify winter adjustments or vacation schedules.
Services & Packages
Choose focused packages that align vision, performance, and budget, each delivered with detailed scopes, clear timelines, and documented results, ensuring confident decisions and dependable outcomes without hidden costs or confusing jargon from first concept to final walkthrough.
