Local Landscape Construction Services

Landscape construction can involve either hardscape or softscape.

Softscape typically involves the construction and design of plants and other organic materials, including grass and shrubs. This type of landscaping utilizes architecture and planning to determine the right design for any given space.

Hardscape landscaping, on the other hand, involves all structures and stonework. This includes interlocking, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, water fountains, fencing, patios, and pool decking.

A good landscape design may look different for every homeowner, but there are important factors to keep in mind when renovating your outdoor space.

Balance/Proportion

A well-balanced space can promote a sense of calm and relaxation. We help our clients achieve that harmony by ensuring our work is proportioned to their space.

Personality

Your home should always reflect your style and personality. When you work with our landscape construction company, we listen to your vision in order to bring it to life.

Cohesion

Like any interior design project, you want your outdoor space to feel like it all makes sense. We ensure every material used in your landscape service has a place so that you can feel in harmony when you step outside.

In Toronto and the York Region, permits are required for any residential landscape project. Drawings that meet local zoning regulations must be submitted and approved by the city before construction can begin.

Speak with one of our contractors to learn more about permit requirements in your area.

If you’re working with a smaller yard space, there are ways to maximize space and draw the eye without overcrowding.

Installing a tall fence or plants can help create more vertical lines, while simple plants and a cohesive colour pallet can help the space feel more spacious and calming. If possible, dividing your space into different sections can help create separation— like a tiled space, a green space, and a more casual seating area.

Working with a professional landscape designer is the best way to maximize your options. They’ll identify the best areas to make changes and help you create a design plan that makes sense for your home.

The costs of working with a professional landscaping contractor can vary depending on the scope and scale of the project and the type of services required.

Whether you want to install a new walkway or a trex composite deck in your backyard, we offer quality services at fair and competitive prices. We work closely with our clients to identify their landscaping needs and provide accurate estimates and approximate timelines for their projects.

There are several factors that can determine how long a landscape construction project will take. Residential projects require specific permits and approvals, which can take time to receive from local municipalities.

At GSU, we know your time is precious. That’s why we work with other industry professionals, including architects and engineers, to ensure designs are up-to-code and can be approved quickly. Your landscape contractor will always be in touch regarding timelines and will work diligently to complete your project efficiently and effectively.

Concrete bases include 3/4 crushed concrete that is watered down and compacted, while interlocking stone utilizes mostly 3/4 crushed gravel, with a top layer of limestone screening for levelling. The measurements may sometimes vary depending on the property and specific project needs.
