Landscape construction in Toronto differs from landscape design only in that the former is the direct implementation of the designer’s decisions. Simply put, design is a project, and construction is the implementation of the project.
Landscape construction. What is it and why is it needed?
Landscape construction is a measure for the improvement of the land to create a zone of comfortable living and recreation. It is a rational transformation of the territory: the proper distribution of buildings, recreation areas, landscaping. Landscape architecture and construction – a complex multi-stage work, including the implementation of pre-project analysis of the territory, the creation of sketch design, approval of the master plan, its implementation on the territory.
Any turnkey landscape construction and not only begins with a project (ready-made or personal). Landscape design includes several most important preparatory stages:
- Geodetic work. At this stage, the definition of the area, shape, size of the territory, marking the elevation of the terrain, marking the location of objects on the site.
- Soil analysis. This stage plays an important role for further landscaping of the territory, as well as for the laying of paths. Soil analysis includes identification of mechanical, mineral, organic composition of soil, its acidity, permeability and the presence of underground water.
- Collection of data on utility networks. This stage involves the marking of cables, pipelines and other technical structures. Gathering information is important for subsequent work with the technical part of the landscape construction (lighting, drainage, irrigation, storm drains).
- Collection of additional information. At this stage takes into account the presence of vegetation, ponds and other small or large architectural forms, as well as their condition.
The more accurate and extensive data collected, the more accurate will be the landscape design, the less trouble will bring landscape construction in Ontario. Order inexpensive this service is possible both individually and in a full package of all services.

- Preparation of the territory: removing garbage and various waste, cutting down trees, cleaning ponds, as well as the removal of old paths or paving, if necessary.

- Gardening involves the arrangement of lawns, planting of greenery, as well as the creation and installation of decorative elements.
- Technical work is the last stage, meaning the installation of lighting, connecting irrigation systems and other technical equipment.
