Complete backyard builds in Maple

Whole rear yards in Maple taken from bare graded clay or a tired lawn to a finished outdoor space — grade, drainage, patio, walls, steps, planting and lighting in one project.

One plan instead of five seasons of additions

Most yards that feel wrong were built a piece at a time: a patio one year, a shed the next, a fire pit after that. Nothing lines up, water goes where it always went, and the result reads as assembled. Planning the whole yard once fixes all of it at the same time.

Grade and drainage decided first

Almost every backyard problem in Maple is a water problem wearing a disguise. Levels are taken across the whole property, grade is set to move water away from the house, and drainage goes in where grade alone cannot do it — before a single stone is laid.

Phased if the budget needs it

Structure in year one — grade, drainage, patio, walls, steps. Planting, lighting and finishes in year two. The plan is drawn for the whole thing so nothing has to be undone later.

  • Site visit, levels and a layout you can picture
  • Itemised quote you can cut or phase
  • Excavation, grading and drainage
  • Hardscape, planting, sod and lighting
  • One crew on site until it is finished

Maple is full of newer subdivisions, which means backyards handed over as bare graded clay with a fence around them. That is the cleanest kind of project for us — nothing to demolish, and the grade, drainage, patio and planting can all be planned together from the start.

Common questions

Maple questions

Do you charge for the design?

For most Maple properties the layout is part of the quote. Large multi-phase projects that need measured drawings are quoted separately, and that fee comes off the build.

Do we need permits?

Most patios, walkways and planting do not. Retaining walls above a certain height, pool enclosures and work affecting drainage between properties can. We tell you before the quote.

How long does a full backyard take?

Two to four weeks on site for a typical Maple rear yard with patio, walls and planting.
