The elements of great design
The most beautiful outdoor spaces are ones that feel effortless—because they are effortless. They marry timeless principles of design and quality construction with trends and technology that have staying power. Their appeal is not simply the gorgeous limestone retaining wall. Or the custom-laid paver patio. Or the pool that's begging you to kick off your flip flops and dip a toe. The true appeal is how every element comes together to create an outdoor experience that's just right for you.

Our Process
It starts with an idea. From there, we’ll work with you—every step of the way—to ensure you get the exceptional landscape design services Waterloo Region and Wellington County have come to rely on since 1967. It’s a collaborative process that generates trust and saves you time and money while giving you as much or as little input at each stage as you want. Once the job is finished, we rarely say goodbye. Instead, we love helping you maintain the design so it just keeps looking better, and grow it for the future so it’s always meeting your needs.
