Low Maintenance Backyard Retreat

bsq was tasked with helping the new owners of this contemporary Toronto home improve and expand the backyard landscape left by the builder.

Landscape concept plans were prepared and then 3D renders were provided to assist our clients with spacial layout and materials selections.

A small shed with a greenroof was added in a little utilized corner, the deck was slightly expanded and a generous, raised cedar walkway was extended to a seating area.

For privacy and structure a simple pergola with strong lines and a cantilever on one end was paced so that a fire table, sofa and occasional chairs could be placed in this area.

Raised Corten steel planters and a decomposed granite terrace paving created a dog friendly space that still allowed for greenery and visual interest.

Bamboo was used and this lovely exotic has done very well especially in the sheltered basement walkout providing a soft texture and year round interest for this basement area.
