Services
Five services, all residential, all built by our own crew. Every estimate separates the preparation underneath from the finish materials on top, so you can see what you are paying for.
Design and installation of practical interlock patios, front walks, side paths and small outdoor gathering spaces — sized to how the space actually gets used rather than to fill a yard.
Refresh a tired entrance with a new walkway, a proper landing, step repairs and simple planting accents. The goal is a route to the door that is easier to use in February, not only prettier in July.
Small retaining walls, raised-bed edges, swale improvements and targeted grading work to organize a slope and move surface water away from the places it is causing trouble.
Engineered and structural retaining walls fall outside what we build. When a project needs one, we say so early and refer you to a qualified specialist.
Straightforward planting plans using durable shrubs, grasses, perennials and mulch, with defined bed edges. Chosen for the site's sunlight, the space available and the level of upkeep you actually want to take on.
Removal of damaged turf, minor soil correction, finish grading and fresh sod for compact residential lawns — including the areas churned up during landscape construction.
Preparation and drainage
Two patios can look identical on the day they are finished and behave completely differently three winters later. The difference is below the surface, and it is the part of the estimate worth reading closely.
We watch the slope you already have before deciding the slope you should have. Most drainage complaints start as a grading decision.
Heavy clay and a driveway apron do not get the same build-up as a garden path. Depth is a site answer, not a catalogue answer.
Gate widths, side yards, overhead wires and soft lawn all change the method — and the price. Better to know on day one.
Disposal is a real line on the estimate. We would rather show it than bury it in a round number.
If we uncover something unexpected once the surface is off — a soft pocket, an old slab, a buried footing — work pauses, we show you the problem and the options, and nothing changes on the price until you have agreed to it.
Scope
Being clear about this early saves everyone a site visit. If your project needs one of these, we will say so and point you somewhere sensible.
Our construction season runs April through November, weather permitting. Spring and fall cleanup is offered only as part of a landscape project, not on its own.
Ottawa's wet spring ground, high summer demand and short late-autumn windows all affect start dates. We will tell you honestly where you would sit in the schedule before you commit to anything.
Estimates depend on access, excavation, drainage, materials and disposal. We do not publish fixed prices, because a number set before a site visit is a guess with a decimal point on it.
