And we’re back! From large projects to small jobs and everything in between, the last 9 months have been ours (and seemingly the whole industry’s) busiest ever. As winter sets in and we start to slow down we’re excited to share some of the work we’ve completed throughout this past season. . . . #landscape #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture #landscapedesignbuild #landscaping #hardscape #hardscapedesign #garden #gardendesign #naturalstone #landscapeconstruction #landscapelovers #landscapes #orangeville #caledon #erin #mulmur #shelburne #fergus #toronto

The first of many loads over the past couple weeks.

Hockley Retreat acts as a private weekend getaway for our busy clients. While this power couple loves the outdoors, their vision differed. With one an avid gardener and the other seeking a farm experience, we designed and transformed their landscape to their custom desires.

Intriguingly perched on top of a deep ravine, this newly built estate home presented itself with many unique design opportunities. Taking into consideration the steep grade of the property as well as the clients desire for a pool, deck, and safe visual access between the two, it was decided that a tiered landscape would be ideal!

Keeping things interesting operating this close to the house. Step one of what will become a beautiful covered terrace overlooking the clients newly landscaped backyard! . . . #landscape #landscapeconstruction #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture #landscaping #hardscape #hardscaping #naturalstone #flagstone #terrace #patio #coveredterrace #backyardretreat

Many years post construction and this fire pit terrace is looking great! With the plant material maturing, the feeling of being in a secluded woodland is at an all time high. Little would you know that behind those trees is another property! . . . #landscape #landscaping #landscapedesign #landscapeconstruction #landscapearchitecture #landscapecontractor #firepit #garden #gardening #gardendesign #naturalstone #flagstone #firepitdesign #summer2020 #summervibes

We always love to incorporate berries near sitting areas in our landscapes. Not only do they add visual interest, but they are perfect to snack on as you sit and relax outside. In this case, we planted some delicious raspberries next to the fire pit terrace! . . . #landscape #landscapedesign #landscapeconstruction #gardendesign #garden #gardening #berries #raspberry #landscapearchitecture #backyardgarden #backyard #firepit #terracegarden #patio #outdoorliving #outdoorlivingspace

As the warmer weather nears we cant help but look forward to spending more time outside. Whether its coffee in the morning or barbecuing at night, decks are a great way of extending your traditional living space outdoors! . . . #landscape #landscapedesign #landscapeconstruction #landscapearchitecture #deck #deckdesign #decklife #outdoors #outdoorliving #outdoorlivingspace #backyarddesign #backyard #summer #summervibes #summertime

Summer is a busy time of year and garden beds often become neglected. As we head into fall, now is a great time to get those beds under control, winterized, and prepared for the spring.

Only Mother Nature can be simultaneously so simple and yet so complex. To us, nothing represents the sophistication of simplicity better than Nature itself.

A great shot of this sunken natural stone walkway. When doing jumbo flagstone walkways/terraces we like to put Thyme or Irish Moss in the joints to add some colour and texture while keeping everything naturalized and rustic! . . . #landscapedesign #designbuild #design #naturalstone #backyard_dreams #landscapeconstruction #landscapearchitecture #landscape #landscaping #landscape_captures #landscapephotography #landscapelighting #nightlights

Say hello to Failte Abhaile [FAHL-cheh uh-WAL-eh] - a rich, serene, private, and welcoming atmosphere for not only our clients, but their friends, family, and guests. Check out the entire project at http://tumber.ca/projects/failte-abhaile/.

Failte Abhaile [FAHL-cheh uh-WAL-eh], meaning welcome home in Gaelic, represents our clients Scottish and Irish Roots and their vision for the overall project: a welcome for their guests. Their wish was that when a guest entered the backyard, the experience would be like a warm embrace that comforts and inspires in equal measure. We set out, and achieved, exactly that. The clients home was in need of privacy and seclusion for its newly retired owners. Its current state... possessed a defective and outdated pool that had begun to fall apart. They desired a smaller pool and hot tub, as well as a pavilion with a gas fireplace, changing room, sitting area and dining area. The grades of the property provided the perfect opportunity for a naturally cascading stream. A winding stone staircase was constructed to intertwine with the water feature, allowing water to flow from the upper levels of the property to the lower terrace and Koi pond. Planting beds were added to create depth and texture, with a significant focus on highlighting the elevation changes throughout the property. When complete, Failte Abhaile provided a rich, serene, private, welcoming atmosphere for not only our clients, but also their friends, family, and guests.

A great place to light a fire and relax for the evening! . . . #landscape #landscaping #landscapedesign #landscapeontario #landscapingideas #fire #fireplace #fireplacedecor #fireplacemantel #landscapearchitecture #landscapeconstruction #fall2017
