One team, from first meeting to finished yard

Natural Landscape Group designs and builds front and back yards in Dundas, Ancaster, Waterdown, Flamborough, Hamilton, Burlington and Oakville, from one-day jobs to multi-season builds.

We design your yard and we build it, with one team from the first meeting to the finished work. Design and build is all we do: patios and stonework, pools, structures, planting and lighting. The people who draw the plan answer for how it’s built.

A hand-drawn plan on graph paper: a deck, a patio with a BBQ centre, raised vegetable beds and herbs, with trees, hedges and each plant named in pencil — Dave’s first sketch on graph paper, and the patio we built from it.

The finished slab patio with a stone BBQ island under timber pergola posts, new planting along the fence and a lawn in front — Dave’s first sketch on graph paper, and the patio we built from it.

Solid Ground

A repair to the coping (the stone edge of the pool) turned out to be a floating pool. We took it out, drained the ground and rebuilt the yard in natural stone.

The plan

Our master plan, and the finished yard.

Armour stone terraces grown in with planting, below the curved deck

Into the Trees

One step out from the sliding doors: a curved PVC deck pushed out over a steep Waterdown slope, with armour stone terraces and paths to a lower patio.

How it works

See the full process

Step 1: Discovery meeting
Free. We get together at your place, talk through what isn’t working and your ideas, ask each other questions and see if we’re a good fit. We’ll also talk rough budget and next steps, so you leave knowing where you stand.
Step 2: The right next step
It depends on your project, and we agree it at the meeting. Often it’s a written scope and fixed price. For larger or more complex yards, we sometimes start with a design phase, which can be a paid step.
Step 3: Build
One team builds what was designed.
Step 4: Handover
We walk the finished yard with you and hand it over.
