Hardscape Design Services in Greater Toronto
Transform your property with professional hardscape design services in Greater Toronto. We create cohesive outdoor plans—driveways, walkways, patios, steps, retaining walls, and pool decks—that balance circulation, comfort, and long-term value. Each design is tailored to your lot measurements, architecture, and preferred materials, with drawings, takeoffs, and specifications your build team can follow without guesswork. If your project includes a new or refreshed driveway, align elevations and edging early with our driveway installer partners for a seamless tie-in.
What this service includes: site assessment and measurements; zoning/municipal checks (as applicable); concept layouts; material palettes; grading and drainage intent; preliminary lighting and feature placement; budget ranges; and build-ready details for the chosen scope.

Experienced Landscape Designer in Greater Toronto
What a Landscape Designer in Greater Toronto Delivers—function, Materials, and a Clear Plan
As your landscape designer in Greater Toronto, we begin with how you use the space—parking, walking paths, dining, lounging, play, and access to side or back yards—then map surfaces, step heights, and landings to make movement intuitive. Materials are selected for appearance, traction, and maintenance, with samples and local supplier options.
Typical design outputs:
- Measured base plan: property lines, house footprint, doors, windows, and utilities.
- Concept plan: walkways, patios, steps, walls, and planting beds arranged for flow and sightlines.
- Material board: pavers, natural stone, borders, coping, and complementary finishes.
- Lighting/key features: suggested placements for path lights, step lighting, and focal elements.
- Budget guide: itemized ranges to help prioritize phases.

Detail-driven Hardscape Designer in Greater Toronto
What a Hardscape Designer in Greater Toronto Clarifies—Grades, Steps, Drainage, and Build Details
