Etobicoke Ravine Retreat

Etobicoke, Toronto

A tight infill lot with three feet of side access, a full canopy of black walnut and a yard that was nothing but fill and snow fence. We rebuilt it end to end: pool, glass railing, cabana terrace and planting chosen to live in deep shade.

Bungalow Curb Appeal

Greater Toronto Area

Tired sod, a cracked apron and no front garden to speak of. New interlock driveway and walkway, full regrade, fresh sod and a layered perennial bed that gives the house a front door worth walking up to.

Backyard Reset

Greater Toronto Area

Patchy shade, bare soil and a patio that stopped where the lawn should have started. Stripped, regraded and finished with a flagstone terrace and fresh sod right up to the fence line.

A raw service corner in full view of the entrance. Armour stone edging, custom cedar screening and a canopy tree turn the utility side of the building into something you can look at.

■ As seen in The Globe and Mail

A 3‑foot gap, a walnut canopy, and a pool that had to fit anyway.

Globe Real Estate followed the build of a new 2,700 square-foot home in an Etobicoke neighbourhood mid-rebuild. We handled the landscape: a minimalist backyard to match the new architecture, delivered from concept renderings through to construction.

Access was three feet wide between houses. Black walnut shaded the entire yard, so every plant had to be chosen for it. The result is the project our clients still ask us about first.
