Engineered & Reinforced Retaining Walls

Sloped properties and changes in elevation can create challenges when planning a residential landscape. We install block and boulder retaining walls to manage slopes, create levelled garden areas and provide support through out your property. Depending on your needs, we reinforce with Allan Block, natural stone and boulders, incorporating proper excavation, base work into the finished product.

Elevations, Grades and Water management

Poor water management and uneven ground can affect how well your outdoor areas function. We provide many solutions which includes correcting slopes, managing surface runoff and installing drainage systems where needed. Proper site preparation helps direct water away from problem areas and provides a stable foundation for lawns, garden beds, patios and other features.

Structural Hardscaping

Hardscapes can transform many areas of your yard into beauiful patios & walkways. Our paver patios and walkways are built with the necessary excavation, base preparation and grading to provide a finished surface that fits naturally into the surrounding concept.

Garden Maintenance & Renovations

Your garden can become overgrown, outdated or difficult to maintain as plants mature and the needs of your property change. We provide garden maintenance and renovations, including shrub pruning, garden bed restoration, lawn improvements, planting, and mulching. Whether your garden needs a thorough cleanup or a full renovation, we can bring your yard back to life and improve the appearance and usability of your outdoor space.

Lawn & Irrigation Systems

Different areas of your property, including lawns, planting beds and gardens, may require different amounts of water depending on sun exposure, slopes and soil conditions. We design and install irrigation systems to deliver practical, targeted watering to each area based on its specific needs. If a low-maintenance lawn is a better option for your property, then we also offer many types of synthetic turf.
