Builder Grade Blues

This beautiful brand new home was suffering from typical builders grade steps and "entrance". It deserved better

That's Better!

We replaced those boring concrete stairs with these gorgeous natural stone steps, hemming them in with awesome pieces of armourstone. The scale of the home and front entrance itself were complimented perfectly.

A Softer Touch

When these plants reach maturity they will soften the look of the stone and give a natural, warm feeling to coming home.

Mother Nature, The real Artist!

Look at the Grain in this natural, square cut flagstone we used to cover the boring concrete porch. Paired perfectly with the steps we installed to create a seamless transition from driveway to doorstep.

Backyard Access Made Beautiful  

These clients hade a walkout basement apartment but had no exterior access.

We created a beautiful staircase and patio that is the ultimate form of style and function

Big things can happen in small spaces!

In this small yard we were able to fit almost 700 sq.ft of interlock, divided into a raised dining space and a lower gathering space featuring a beautiful gas fireplace all accented by a custom cedar pergola. With landscape lighting throughout, this space has now become an extension of their interior, an outdoor room  that can be enjoyed later into the night and longer into the season!

We carried the look all around the house using nothing but the best materials. Complimenting the exterior of the home with the new interlock driveway, steps and landing. The welcome home experience is now complete and the curb appeal has everyone that passes by looking!

Clean And Simple

A place to Gather

Here used to stand an old wooden deck that was broken up into multiple tiers that made the space feel tiny and hard to have a large group sit and visit. We replaced it with this beautiful two level patio, which is actually almost the same square footage but now the whole group of family and friends can be in the same area that can now accommodate larger furniture. Accented with two pillars to define the space and accented with natural stone steps and wall this new patio isn't just more functional than the old deck but the materials will stand the test of time. 

Corner Lot Transformation

Time for a change

This corner lot was ready to be dragged out of the 50's and become a focal point rather than an eyesore.

What is missing?

A common problem with a corner lot is, where can we gather? This home had nowhere to sit and enjoy the outside without feeling as though you were on display. We set out to change that.

The Solution

We created a semi-circle patio surrounded with lush plantings that in time will fill in and give the client a cozy, serene area where they can escape and forget that they are in the middle of the city.

Au-Naturel!

That old concrete stairway had to go! This natural stone slab stairway and armour stone wall does not just enhance the entry way, it does it in a way that compliments the home and surrounding landscape. Rather than stand out, it blends and ties everything together.

Take a stroll

The secondary walkway meanders through the front garden while the main walkway is a direct line to the driveway and garage.

Make the most of your space. This house has a lot of people coming in and out dropping kids off for daycare so they needed a wider driveway space so people with their children could walk around the parked cars without walking across the lawn. We provided a nice wide walkway that also allows more space for cars to park as well.

As for the backyard, it was a blank slate with nowhere for the family to sit and entertain. We were able to provide them a nice raised patio which will now allow them to have a table and chairs for family and friends to gather and enjoy the outside. Topped off with gardens to add seasonal interest.

Fresh but timeless

We traded the rotten lumber for large armour stone and natural stone step, the dated brick for new interlock with a flagstone and a cobble look. This will stand the test of time with style and endurance.

Plantings

The overgrown hedges were torn out and replaced with new hostas, perennials, grasses and shrubs that will fill out and provide colour as well as different textures all year long. We just had to leave the beautiful Japanese maple already in the garden.

Curb Appeal

We were able to enhance the entrance of this big house on a large lot by adding scale to the entryway. Now everything is proportionate and the front entry has a real head turning presence to it.
