PROJECTS
PLANTING PLAN
This client was looking for some help with a naturalized planting plan that would attract pollinators while providing some curb appeal. They wanted a low maintenance, sustainable garden that was drought tolerant. To make the garden a little more contemporary a steel edge was used as border.
BACKYARD MAKEOVER
This backyard needed some love. Neighbouring properties had unsightly views and plants and grass were impossible to maintain. The client had purchased a hot tub, but were stumped where to locate due to privacy concerns. Storage and an additional lounge space where they could have a fire pit were also on the wish list. Incorporating all these features, an intimate backyard was created with ample privacy and lots of room for relaxation and entertaining.
COUNTRY LIVING
This country home has a large backyard with loads of space. A major renovation to the exterior of the house provided an opportunity for a backyard makeover. The client wanted a swim spa, sun deck as well as space to host large al fresco dinners and evenings outside.
CURB APPEAL
This home needed to soften the front entrance, while making the house a little more contemporary. Some porch resurfacing, a new walkway, curbing and planting were added to the front entrance creating a bright and cheery frontage.
BACKYARD UPGRADE
This young family was looking for a backyard makeover where they could relax, entertain, work outside, while maintaining a space for their children to run around. Two 'rooms' were created, one for dining and one for lounging. A beautiful deck off the back of the house provides a nice spot for a quiet coffee or a dip in the hot tub. Lots of privacy was added while preserving open space for their kids to play.
FRONT YARD MAKEOVER
The front entrance to this home was riddled with problems. Stairs that were falling apart, a wobbly railing and tripping hazards all down the front walkway. This new front porch created a safe, warm entrance, while upgrading the facade of the house. The front lawn was removed and replaced with low maintenance planting that will provide all season interest while hiding unsightly utilities.
CONTEMPORARY BACKYARD
These homeowners wanted to incorporate their landscape design with their house construction. While doing a major interior reno, they hired Orange Pagoda to design the backyard, so they could finalize construction prior to moving in. A contemporary, low maintenance backyard with plenty of entertaining space was perfect for their busy lifestyle.
COUNTRY ESTATE
This beautiful property was a blank slate. A large field with two barns, some old stone walls and a hefty wish list. The clients wanted a country estate with a pool, expansive decks with various lounge areas, dining spaces, outdoor kitchen, outdoor shower and a pool cabana. Working with Hogan Landscaping Inc, we were able to come up with a contemporary design that would incorporate the rustic country charm.
POOL SIDE
These homeowners wanted to change their backyard into an oasis with a pool, sunning deck, overhead structure, dining space and lounge equipped with a fireplace and TV. We were able to check off all their requirements providing them with the backyard of their dreams.
KID FRIENDLY
These clients wanted to create a safe space for their little one to play, while providing a space where they could entertain outside. A custom play structure and deck extension provided the perfect pandemic hideaway.
