Landscape Installation in Alliston, ON
We turn empty yards into outdoor spaces you'll actually want to spend time in.
What We Install
We handle the full build. Sod and seed lawns. Garden beds with proper soil prep and plant selection. Patios, walkways, and retaining walls. Irrigation systems that don't leave dry spots. Trees and shrubs planted at the right depth so they actually survive.
Most projects in Alliston start with grading and drainage work. You don't see it when we're done, but it's what keeps your new lawn from turning into a swamp every spring. We bring in topsoil, amend what's there, and make sure water goes where it should. Then we install everything on top of that foundation.
If you're not sure what you need, we can walk the property with you. We'll point out what works, what doesn't, and what's realistic for your budget. If you already have a Landscape Design in hand, we'll build it exactly as drawn.
How the Process Works
First visit is a walkthrough and quote. We measure, take photos, talk through what you want. You'll get a written estimate that breaks down materials and labour. No surprise charges later.
Once you approve, we schedule the install. Smaller jobs like garden beds or sod might take a day or two. Full yard transformations with hardscaping and plantings usually run one to three weeks depending on size and weather. We'll give you a timeline upfront.
We clean up daily and haul away all debris when we're finished. You're not stuck with piles of dirt or leftover stone. Before we leave, we'll show you how to water new plantings and what to expect in the first few weeks. If something doesn't establish right, we come back and fix it.
Why Alliston Properties Need Proper Installation
The soil here is heavy clay in most spots. If you just throw sod on top and hope for the best, you'll have bare patches by next summer. We amend the soil, grade for drainage, and make sure roots can actually grow. Same goes for plantings. A shrub stuck in a clay hole with no drainage is dead within two years.
We also work in Tottenham and Beeton, so we know how frost heaves mess with hardscaping if the base isn't deep enough. We dig below the frost line, use proper aggregate, and compact in lifts. Your patio won't sink or shift after the first winter.
If you're planning a bigger project, it often makes sense to phase it. Install the hardscaping and grading first, then add plantings the following season. We can map that out so you're not dropping $25,000 all at once. Once everything's in, our Landscape Maintenance team can keep it looking sharp year-round.
What to Expect on Cost
Sod installation for an average front yard runs $2,000 to $4,000 depending on prep work. Garden beds with plants and mulch usually land between $1,500 and $5,000. A basic patio or walkway starts around $5,000 and goes up from there based on size and materials.
Full yard installs with multiple features - lawn, beds, patio, plantings, irrigation - typically range from $15,000 to $40,000. We'll give you options at different price points so you can decide what fits. If budget's tight, we can install the bones now and add the finishing touches later.
We don't ask for payment until the job's done and you're happy with it. For larger projects we'll take a deposit to order materials, but the bulk comes due at completion. If you need a Landscape Renovation instead of a full install, that's often less intensive and we can give you a separate quote for that.

Frequently asked questions
How long does landscape installation take?
Small jobs like sod or a garden bed usually take one to three days. Full yard installs with hardscaping, plantings, and irrigation typically run one to three weeks depending on size, weather, and material delivery. We'll give you a timeline with your quote so you know what to expect.
What's the best time of year to install landscaping?
Spring and fall are ideal for plantings because temperatures are cooler and rain helps things establish. Sod goes in anytime from late April through October as long as the ground isn't frozen. Hardscaping can happen almost any time, but we avoid it when the ground's too wet or frozen. We'll recommend timing based on what you're installing.
Do you guarantee the plants will survive?
We guarantee everything for the first growing season as long as you follow the watering and care instructions we give you. If a plant dies because of installation error or defect, we replace it at no charge. If it dies because it didn't get watered or a dog dug it up, that's not covered. We'll walk you through proper care before we leave so you're set up for success.
