Complete backyard builds in Toronto

Whole rear yards in Toronto 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 Toronto 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

City work is its own discipline: small rear gardens, laneway access, street parking for the truck and neighbours close enough that a nine-hour noisy day is not acceptable.
