How We Build
Six checkpoints, one team. The same hands that walk your property on day one are the hands that lay the last paver and plant the last tree.
Why we show the work
Most landscape problems happen below grade — in the parts you can't see once the project is finished. We show you every step because every step matters: the depth of the dig, the type of stone in the base, the way the joints are set. Twenty Ontario winters of experience says you can skip none of them.
01
Every project starts on site. We walk the yard with you, take dimensions, note the grade, the drainage, the existing planting — then take it back to the desk and build a full SketchUp 3D model. What you see in the render is what gets installed.
On-site visit · Site survey · Full 3D rendering · Material specification
02
Strings go up, lines go down. We mark the design on the ground, clear the area of sod and organics, then dig a clean square cavity to full depth — no rounded corners, no shallow spots, no shortcuts.
Mark-out · Sod removal · Squared excavation · Subgrade inspection
03
The base is the part nobody sees and the part that decides whether your driveway is still flat in twenty years. We backfill in lifts, compact each one with a plate tamper, and finish with high-performance bedding stone — the engineered foundation pavers actually need.
Lifted backfill · Plate-tamper compaction · ¾-clear stone base · Geotextile where needed
04
Laser level, screed bar, string lines. We bring the bedding to a perfectly flat plane with the correct slope for drainage, then dry-lay the pattern to verify cuts and joints before a single paver is set permanently.

05
Pavers go in by hand, stone by stone, joint by joint — every cut on a wet saw, every closure hand-fitted. Edge restraints are mechanically fastened, polymeric sand sweeps the joints, and final compaction locks the field together.

06
The hardscape is the bones; the planting is the life. Trees, shrubs and perennials go in to the design plan, beds get edged and mulched, and the site is left clean — ready for you to walk out the back door and use it.
