We specialize in making Toronto yards work harder: creating privacy in dense neighbourhoods, maximizing usable space, and building outdoor rooms that extend your living area from May through October.

"Our tiny backyard felt useless until the redesign. Now we have a patio that fits our table, built-in seating, and it feels twice as big. Best decision we made for this house."
Landscaping in Toronto — questions answered
Small yards are our specialty. Many Toronto lots are 15-20 feet wide, requiring creative design. We use techniques like built-in seating, vertical gardens, and multi-functional spaces to make every square foot count.
Permits depend on the scope. Planting and basic patios typically don't require permits. Structures over a certain size, significant grading changes, or work near trees may need City approval. We handle all permit requirements.
Toronto has strict tree protection bylaws. We design around existing trees whenever possible and obtain permits if any tree work is required. Our designs often incorporate mature trees as focal points.
We consider four-season interest: evergreen structure, plants with winter bark interest, and hardscape materials that handle freeze-thaw cycles. Your yard should look good year-round, not just in summer.
