Flowing Front Entrance

This springtime project brings together a few different aspects of a landscape together. Obviously the first step was our excavation as seen in the photos below. For the "Laneway Soldier Course" we excavated to a depth of 18". We followed this excavation depth for the front step system and walkway as well. The finished product is a slick interlock installation that is built to suit the lines of ...View

Great Use Of Available Space!

As a lot of people these days have multiple vehicles, the need for more space increases. Our clients here need more space on the top landing of the stairs to accomodate 2 fairly large dogs aswell, they wanted a large enough laneway to accomodate two cars parked side by side. We took on this challenge and installed it right! As a lot of asphalt laneways these days are deteriorated by ...View

Sound Structure

The “Roman Pisa” block used to create these retaining walls was a perfect blend of style and structure. We removed an old natural stone wall that was falling over and replaced it with a precast retaining wall system. We added a staircase through one wall which led to a walkway to the front entrance & step. To finish the project off we trimmed the laneway with a two foot wide soldier ...View

Total Satisfaction

On this particular project we installed a beautiful interlock patio and seating area around an existing pool. We gave the pool's outer patio a three foot increase by installing a retaining wall the same height as the concrete pool surround. In the front of the property we installed a huge open concept entrance and driveway all in interlock. We kept the lines of the brick flowing in the same ...View

Seamless Curves

On this project the main idea was to have as little straight lines as possible and widen the laneway to accommodate 2 vehicles. An inviting opening at the end of the driveway comes to a rounded top which separates the laneway area that is located under the carport. Our main objective for under the carport was to not make it feel so much like a laneway as a walkway to the backyard. And with only ...View

Out With The Old, In With The New

The use of shrubs, flowers and other greenery is very important to a property’s landscape. That’s why we included an oversize garden bed to this landscape. The high wall hides the concrete patio and houses a variety of different plants. The edges of the laneway are trimmed with four courses of stone and an arch at the top which gives the laneway a lot more dimension! We installed a curved step ...View

Great Use Of Space!

Our clients on this particular project were tired of only having a single car width laneway and needed a change. As well, their existing steps and retaining wall system were dangerous and falling apart. We used all of the clients input as well as some of our suggestions and delivered a solid, unique and functional installation! A double width laneway now can accommodate 4 vehicles. A proper ...View

Rustic & Sophisticated. A Perfect Combonation

A key ingredient to any landscape is not only a great installation, it's also about being unique. In this project our client chose to go with a totally natural look and it paid off! We used natural stones picked right out of the gound to make up our retaining wall and used a tumbled paver for our patio & seating area. The two diffenent styles of stones compliment each other to create a perfect ...View

Smooth Curves Make A Big Difference!

A common trend these days is to trim the edges of a laneway with a soldier course in interlock and blend it with a flowing arch at the top of the lane. To take it one step further we blend in a walkway from the new laneway up to the front entrance. This procedure really helps to tidy up the overall look of the front entrance and provides a sense of welcoming as you walk to the front door. A small ...View

Modest Running Bond Walkway

When installing a hard landscape we always have to remember to add some natural greenery to soften up the overall appearance. Here we contoured the wrap around porch with a trendy “Running Bond” walkway that leads from one entrance to a newly installed set of steps. All along the inside of the walkway we created a small garden area that breaks up the hard concrete look and livens up ...View
