Types of Small Landscaping Projects
Sub-Grading: This process involves levelling and preparing the ground by removing unnecessary topsoil and materials to ensure the construction site is level. Sub-grading is essential for creating a solid base for subsequent landscaping tasks such as retaining wall construction, patio construction, and to ensure proper water drainage.
Backfilling New Home Builds: Following the excavation for a new home build, backfilling involves adding clay material with compaction around the foundation. This step is crucial for stability and water drainage, ensuring the ground is prepared for sod, patios, or other finishing materials.
Concrete Removal: This service includes demolishing and removing existing concrete and stone surfaces to make way for new landscaping elements. Whether it's an old walkway or patio, removing concrete is a preparatory step for revamping an outdoor space.
Decorative Boulder Placement: Strategically placing decorative boulders can add a natural, sculptural element to the garden. Boulders can serve as focal points or create stunning natural landscape designs you'll love and enjoy.
Small Walkways: Constructing small walkways in a garden or outdoor space not only enhances accessibility but also adds charm to your outdoor living spaces.
Small Circle Kits: These kits are designed to create circular patios, seating areas, or family time firepits. They're perfect for adding a structured yet inviting element to small spaces.
Tree and Shrub Planting: Adding trees of any kind contributes to the landscape by providing shade, enhancing privacy, and increasing the overall greenery, which can dramatically change the ambiance of a property. Trees and shrubs can also be insulators if planted close enough to a home.
Accent or Outdoor Lighting: Strategic placement of lighting fixtures in your landscape to highlight specific hardscape features, plants, or trees, enhancing the aesthetic appeal and visibility of outdoor spaces during nighttime.
Shed Construction: Small structures often used for storage or as a workspace within a landscape area. Shed construction requires careful planning regarding location, foundation, materials, and design to integrate with the surrounding landscape seamlessly.
Transplanting Shrubbery: Removal and installation of existing plants, shrubs, or trees from one location to another within a landscape. This job requires knowledge of plant health, soil conditions, and proper techniques to ensure successful transplantation and minimize stress on the vegetation.
Adding or Removal of Water Features: Introducing new water elements like ponds, fountains, or streams to enhance your landscape's aesthetic appeal or the removal of existing waterscapes to repurpose the space. Skills in plumbing, water circulation, and design are critical to succeed in this small-scale landscaping job.
Gazebo, Pergola, and Arbour Construction: Design and construction of outdoor structures that provide shade or serve as decorative elements in a landscape. Each structure requires specific carpentry and design skills to match the landscape's theme and meet your functional needs.
