Why Choose Upper Canada Landscape
28 Years of Landscape Experience
Designing and building landscapes requires practical experience with grading, drainage, and material installation. Our team has worked on residential landscape projects across Southwestern Ontario for nearly three decades.
Natural Stone Craftsmanship
Natural stone patios, retaining walls, and garden features require careful placement and proper base preparation. Attention to detail ensures the finished landscape looks natural and remains stable.
Built to Last
Landscapes are exposed to weather, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy use. Proper installation methods help prevent shifting stone, drainage problems, and long-term maintenance issues.
Custom Landscape Design Built for Real Properties
Every property presents different conditions. Yard slope, drainage patterns, soil type, existing trees, and surrounding structures all influence how a landscape should be designed.
A thoughtful design considers these conditions from the beginning, so the finished landscape works naturally with the property rather than fighting against it.
What Matters in Landscape Design
- Proper Grading
- Ensures water drains away from patios, walkways, and the home.
- Durable Base Construction
- Stone and hardscape features need stable foundations to prevent shifting.
- Balanced Landscape Layout
- Plantings, hardscape, and open space should work together visually and functionally.
When these elements are handled properly, the finished landscape design and construction can look and function naturally as it should.
Types of Landscape Projects We Build
Landscape projects vary depending on property size, terrain, and how the space will be used. Upper Canada Landscape designs and builds a range of outdoor features that work together as part of a cohesive landscape.
Patios and Outdoor Living Spaces
Patios often become the main gathering space in a backyard. Natural stone, flagstone, and paver patios can create comfortable outdoor areas for dining, relaxing, and entertaining.
Proper grading and base preparation help ensure the patio remains level and stable over time.
Walkways and Garden Paths
Walkways guide movement through the landscape and connect important areas of the yard.
Stone, pavers, or natural materials can be used to create paths that complement the surrounding landscape while improving accessibility.
Retaining Walls
Many properties require structural landscaping to manage slopes or elevation changes.
Retaining walls help stabilize soil while creating usable outdoor space for patios, planting areas, or seating zones.
Proper drainage and structural design are essential for long-term stability.
Planting Layouts and Garden Design
Planting plans add colour, structure, and seasonal interest to the landscape.
Trees, shrubs, and garden beds are arranged so they complement the hardscape elements and develop naturally as the landscape matures.
Full Backyard Landscape Transformations
Some projects involve redesigning large portions of the yard.
These projects may combine multiple elements such as patios, walkways, retaining walls, planting layouts, and outdoor gathering spaces into a single cohesive design.
