Your property. One coordinated plan.
A landscape that belongs to your home.
For a Rosedale property in Toronto, begin with the existing building and garden character and establish the relevant heritage or ravine context for the actual address. Record retained trees and stone features before proposing new outdoor rooms. Keep protection and construction access in the scope so retention is supported throughout the build.
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.
Before construction
Make retention part of the construction plan.
Identify the trees, planting, masonry and existing surfaces you want to retain before drawing new features. Record the route for excavation and deliveries as carefully as the finished garden. Obtain appropriate tree or site advice where work could affect retained features, then include protection and restoration in the proposal. Keeping a feature on a drawing is only the beginning of preserving it through construction.
- Retained features marked on the plan
- Measured access widths and overhead obstructions
- Protection areas and permitted working space
- A defined restoration scope after heavy work
Questions for your project
Resolve the important details early.
Can we retain existing trees and garden features during construction?
Some may be retained, depending on their condition and the work required. Mark protection areas and access routes before construction and obtain appropriate advice where excavation could affect trees or other important features. Include restoration in the scope.
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.
