Landscaping You Can Trust
Are you planning a new patio, retaining wall or outdoor living space, or replacing one that has heaved and cracked? You need it designed well and built on a base that lasts, by a crew that owns its machines.
We understand that a backyard is a big investment in the place you live. That's why our designer meets you on site, you get a detailed quote and an exact final price before we build, and one or both owners are on site every day of the build. Every patio and wall sits on a base dug and compacted by our own crew, built to last.
Our Bullet Proof Process
Our build process keeps your yard torn up for as little time as possible. Get it done right the first time with our:
✓Free on-site consultation
✓Detailed quote, then an exact final price before we build
✓Owners on site every day of the build

Why Choose Thor's Landscaping Services
Every build starts with a design meeting on your property and ends with a walk-through and a written warranty. In between, one or both owners are on site every day, our own machines dig and compact the base, and we keep you and your neighbours in the loop so the work interferes as little as possible.
Our attention to detail and work ethic make us the first choice for homeowners who expect the best.

Thor Construction company did some hardscaping for us in our backyard around the pool. Right from the start they were responsive, they worked with us on a design that was functional for the space and stayed within the agreed budget. Their work was fabulous!

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you build?+
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, landscape lighting, decks and fences, plus the grading and sod that finish it.
How does pricing work?+
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.
What size of project do you take on?+
Most builds start around $20,000, from a patio and wall up to a full backyard at $150,000 and more.
When can you start?+
We run one crew, so we build a limited number of yards each season. Book this fall and your build is first in line for spring.
Do I need a permit?+
Most patios and garden walls do not. A retaining wall over 1 metre of exposed height next to a driveway, a building entrance or public property is a designated structure under the Ontario Building Code and needs an engineer's design and a building permit; we arrange both. Anything close to the water needs the conservation authority's permit first.
Who is on site during the build?+
One or both of the owners, every day of the build, managing the job and keeping you and your neighbours in the loop.
Can you build next to the lake?+
Yes, with the conservation authority's permit when the work sits inside the shoreline flood hazard plus 15 metres. Waterfront lots, rock close to the surface and tight access are normal around the Kawarthas, and we plan for them at the first visit.
