Front Yard Landscaping–Build a Front Yard You’ll Be Proud Of
Day or night, when you pull into your driveway, your front yard should make you feel proud. Many homeowners invest in interiors first, and only later realize how much the outside of their home says about them. Your front yard is the first impression-on guests, neighbors, and even yourself.
Thoughtful front yard landscaping can completely change how your home feels. Features like a flagstone walkway, garden edging, and an armour stone wall can enhance your property. Soft driveway lights can also add charm and match your home’s style.

Our Process for Your Front Yard Design
Phase 1: Consultation
Share Your Vision
Share your ideas for your front yard garden. Tell us your style preferences and any features you want. This could include walkways, lighting, a new front porch step, or a complete driveway upgrade. After reviewing your enquiry, we’ll follow up with a call to learn more about your goals.
Tip: Use our landscaping cost calculator to build your project and monitor your budget. Add the features and materials you envision and attach them directly to your enquiry.
Meet On-Site
After our call, we’ll meet at your home to assess your space in person. We will check the current site conditions, such as grading, your asphalt driveway, and drainage. Then, we will give you a quote for the design, based on how complex the project is.
Phase 2: Design
Discuss Design
Once you approve your design agreement and pay a deposit, we will schedule a design consultation with our team. We refine your ideas, take detailed site measurements, and check zoning and bylaw requirements.
This is where your landscape design comes to life. It could be for a small front yard, an interlock driveway, or a new flagstone walkway. This stage typically takes 1–4 weeks.
Presentation & Approvals
You’ll receive your initial draft in advance, so you can prepare feedback. During our review meeting, we fine-tune the design together. Once finalized, we prepare detailed drawings with all materials and labels. Finalization usually takes about one week.
Phase 3: Construction
Permit Process & Drawings
For projects that require permits, structural engineers prepare permit drawings to ensure all standards are met. This stage typically takes 3–5 weeks.
Front Yard Renovation Begins!
Now the fun part begins. Our crew handles everything—from garden edging and landscape edging, to sprinkler system installation, driveway repair, or concrete porch resurfacing. We stay in close communication throughout your project.
In just a few weeks, you’ll pull up to a home that feels renewed—one that reflects your style and stands out in your neighbourhood.
