Design. Build. Enjoy.
Bring the whole property together.
Mount Nemo-area planning should begin with the property itself: landform, existing access, trees and the relationship of the house to open ground. The aim is a comfortable outdoor setting that feels settled into the landscape.
Landscape design
Resolve circulation, privacy, planting and outdoor rooms in a coordinated landscape design. Explore the broader possibilities for estate living.
Pools & outdoor living
Connect an in-ground pool with its terrace and a carefully placed cabana or pavilion. Plan the structure, access and surrounding spaces together.
Driveways & hardscape
Shape the arrival with an estate driveway, then coordinate terraces, steps and retaining walls with the property’s finished levels.
The Mount Nemo project brief
Working with the landform.
Compare terrace locations before deciding on wall heights or an oversized pool deck. Where excavation conditions are uncertain, identify the investigation needed and state how unforeseen work will be handled in the proposal. Confirm any applicable conservation or escarpment planning review for the actual parcel.
Retaining walls: systems, loads and repair →
The address, survey and proposed scope determine what is possible. For relevant municipal guidance, consult Burlington pool-permit information; additional reviews may apply to an individual property.
Before you begin
Questions worth answering early.
Can a retaining wall create a completely level backyard?
It may create a usable terrace, but wall height, loads, drainage, boundaries and approvals must be evaluated together. A sequence of smaller spaces can sometimes achieve the brief with less intervention than a single large platform.
How do we get a meaningful proposal for our Mount Nemo property?
Share the address, photographs of the garden and construction access, any available survey, your priorities and an intended budget range. Identify what you want to retain. The proposal should make preparation, construction, finishes, allowances and restoration clear, rather than leaving the scope to assumptions.
Understand allowances, exclusions and changes before comparing quotes.
