Your property. One coordinated plan.
A landscape that belongs to your home.
For a South Hill or Casa Loma-area home, the landscape brief should begin with the building’s proportions and existing entrance levels. Coordinate stone steps, landings and garden boundaries rather than selecting them independently. Check the property’s particular heritage context where relevant, and include construction access and restoration of retained features in the proposal.
Landscape architecture
Coordinate the arrival, garden rooms and circulation through landscape design. Explore a complete vision for estate living.
Pools & outdoor living
Connect an in-ground pool with its terrace and a cabana or pavilion, with access and support spaces planned together.
Driveways & stonework
Bring estate driveways, steps, terraces and retaining walls into a coordinated material and grading plan.
Coordinate the pedestrian route, landings, steps and driveway edge around the house’s proportions. Check finished levels before choosing a stone pattern. A restrained material palette can connect new work to older architecture while allowing different spaces to have their own character. For any property with a heritage context, establish the applicable address-specific review before committing to alterations.
- Door thresholds and landing dimensions
- Vehicle and pedestrian routes considered together
- Samples against the existing architecture
- Property-specific review where relevant
Questions for your project
Resolve the important details early.
Can contemporary stonework suit an older home?
Yes as a design approach. A restrained palette, carefully proportioned landings and deliberate junctions with existing materials can connect new work to older architecture without imitating every detail.
What should we provide for a meaningful project discussion?
Share your address, photographs of the garden and construction access, a survey if available, the features you want to retain and your priorities. An intended budget range and timing help define the scope. Ask proposals to distinguish preparation, construction, finishes, allowances and restoration.
Feasibility and any required reviews depend on the address and proposed work. Confirm the applicable municipal and site requirements before treating a concept as an approved construction plan.
