Landscaping around Norwood and Havelock

Otonabee Conservation on the Asphodel-Norwood side, where the Ouse River sub-watershed drains to the Trent, and Crowe Valley Conservation in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen, which covers the Crowe River, North River and Beaver Creek sub-watersheds. We confirm at the first visit.

Yes. Havelock-Belmont-Methuen keeps public launches on Belmont, Round, Kasshabog, Jack, Crowe and West Twin Lakes and the North River, and we plan access for each lot at the site visit.

Yes. Between Rice Lake and Hastings the Trent River is the Trent-Severn's channel, so work at the water there takes a Parks Canada permit. Asphodel-Norwood's launches at Asphodel Heights, Birdsall Wharf and Old Orchard Road sit on that stretch.

Patios and walkways in natural stone, flagstone and interlock, armour stone and block retaining walls, stone steps, pool surrounds, fire pits, pergolas and privacy screens, outdoor kitchens, decks and fences, plus the grading and sod that finish it.

The first visit gives you rough numbers. After the design meeting you get a detailed quote, a 10% deposit locks the scope and materials, and the final quote is the exact price for the job.

Most builds start around $20,000, from a patio and wall up to a full backyard at $150,000 and more.

One crew builds a limited number of yards each season. Designs signed over the winter are scheduled first for spring.

Most patios and garden walls do not. A retaining wall over 1 metre of exposed height next to public property, access to a building, or private property the public is admitted to is a designated structure under the Ontario Building Code: it is designed to the Code's structural rules and takes a building permit, and we arrange the engineering. Anything close to the water needs the conservation authority's permit first. We check at the first visit.

One or both of the owners, every day of the build, managing the job and keeping you and your neighbours in the loop.
