Inground Spa and Waterfall

Imagine relaxing in this spa or restfully sitting on the stone bench with a sheer descent waterfall, now that's how you forget about the world for awhile. The frosted panels provide privacy but still reveal the silhouette of Hydrangeas.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

The elongated brick wall had issues from previous construction additions, so a series of custom steel-framed mirrors were implemented to cover the imperfections, reflect the garden surrounds, and re-inforce the symmetry of the overall design. It created a feeling of a much larger space and a true conversation piece.

Oasis Pool and Waterfall

Random flagstone surrounding this oasis pool leads up to the natural waterfall created with large granite boulders found on the property. Once the diversified planting behind establishes itself this will truly be paradise.

Bridge over Waterfalls

This beautiful waterfall was created with rockery found on the property, then we incorporated large stone slabs to create staircases throughout leading to a natural stone bridge over the waterfall. Once the pocket plantings establish themselves this will truly capture the imagination.

Pool Paradise

Just imagine a hot summer day, walking up the stone staircase, sitting on the bridge with your feet in the waterfall, then step down the waterfall and jumping into your very own oasis. NO airplanes, hotels or hassles, just step into your backyard...

Pool Renovation

This site was originally set with 1970's honey-comb pavers. Pool was given a makeover with liner and plumbing then we incorporated XL sheets of flagstone, hand-cut to fit, rockfaced and polished for an amazing deck surround and patio. Natural stone boulders were utilized for sitting stones around an in-ground fire pit, escarpment oasis!

Grand Entrance

Inspired by the many limestone formations of Ontario we incorporated Random Flagstone from Wiarton (lower patio and sidewalk) Manitoulin Waterfall Ledgerock (retaining walls and waterfall) Owen Sound Ledgerock (large slab steps) Random Credit Valley Flagstone (pool deck and patio) All viewed from the 2nd story grand room.

Smaller Backyard Water Feature

Picture this, sitting pond side reading a book and decompressing from a hard day at work, no matter the size of your yard.

Award Winner

Award-winning Waterfall

Created with stone found on this escarpment residence, this 30' waterfall looks like mother nature made it herself (but we did it in one month) This feature truly looks like it was there before the house.

Bridge over Water

12 inch thick stone slabs were craned into position to create this magnificent stone bridge over the 10,000 gal pond feeding the waterfall. Bridge to your paradise.

Escarpment Waterfall

The inspiration for this waterfall came from a trout ladder on the credit river. The client request was to replicate that vision at the front of their residence. This water feature was designed to flow all year round

Waterfall in Stereo

By cantilevering the weir stone (large sheets water flows over) enhancing the sound of water across the garden in this residential application.

Formal Walkway

European-inspired landscape formally connecting two off-set entrance ways with the insert of a symmetrically pruned conifer garden is the cornerstone of this square-cut flagstone walkway. Stone is all set at 45 degrees to the 4" thick stone banding which can withstand the constant traffic of turf maintenance equipment for ease of cutting.

Country Casual

This traditional stepping stone pathway to the back yard is a great way to slow down your guests so they can decompress and take in all the beautiful surrounds as they reveal themselves one step at a time.

Classic Entrance

Square-cut flagstone cut to random sizes in subtle earth-tone shades makes a classic entrance. Planting uniform shapes in random formation compliment the exact precision of this entrance.

Modern Entrance 2

This modern entrance takes the everyday sub-division residence and raises the bar for change in creativity of spaces. The final coat of asphalt will complete the seamless elevation with the new walkway.

Modern Entrance 1

Onyx black steps formally centered with charcoal banding frame the modular pavers (flagstone look) to create a modern entrance. Banding gives the impression of changing elevation on flat surface.

Welcome the Curves

This newly renovated entrance curves around the existing birch tree providing an open impression in a small space. The Birch tree is the star attraction complemented with new foundation gardens. The modular pavers continue on the concrete stoop with a natural rockfaced step to anchor the hardscape renovation.

Beautiful and Functional

Limestone coping defines each step/landing of Champlain Grey Modular Pavers. The gardens were retro-fitted with existing plant material and now this entrance is a joy to come home to.
