Landscaping in Oro-Medonte

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority checks that an application is complete within 21 days, then targets a decision within 30 days for a minor permit and 90 days for a major one. We file early so the build date holds.

Possibly, even if you are off the moraine itself. The Official Plan draws the planning area generally 500 metres out from the edge of the moraine, and all development inside it falls under Site Plan Control. We check Schedule A for your lot at the first visit.

Yes, behind the Zoning By-law's setback from the high water mark, and with the conservation authority's permit where the yard sits in its regulated area. We measure both on site and lay the stone work out to fit.

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.
