Locally-Sourced Natural Stone
Every material used on this project — from the Ontario flagstone to the wallstone, coping, and stair treads — was sourced locally. These traditional materials give the home a sense of permanence and historical integrity.

Grading & Accessibility Improvements
The original walkway posed a significant challenge with its steep slope. Our team regraded the area and rebuilt the path to provide safer step heights and a smoother approach to the home, significantly enhancing accessibility and curb appeal.

Lighting & Irrigation
We installed discreet landscape lighting to highlight key features at night, and a modern irrigation system to keep the new plantings healthy and lush with minimal effort.
