What's included
Most of Muskoka sits on granite, slopes toward the water and freezes hard every winter. That's tough on stonework. A patio set on a thin base heaves the first spring, and a wall with nothing behind it starts to lean.
So we build the base properly first, then set the patios, walkways, stairs and walls on top of it.
- PatiosA level, well-drained place to sit out, sized to how you actually use the yard.
- Walkways and stairsPaths from the driveway to the door and from the deck down to the dock, with steps where the grade calls for them.
- Retaining wallsWalls that hold back a slope and stay straight, with the base they need behind them.
- Gravel drivewaysGravel driveways topped up and raked out so they stay smooth.
- Gravel and stoneFresh gravel and stone for paths, driveways and beds, delivered and spread.
Built for Muskoka ground
- Rock close to the surfaceWe plan the layout around the rock instead of fighting it.
- Frost and freeze-thawA properly compacted base keeps patios and walkways from heaving when the ground freezes and thaws.
- Slopes down to the waterSteps, walls and terraces turn a steep yard into one you can actually use.
- Spring runoffWe look at where the water goes before we build, so it doesn't end up under your patio or against the house.
When to book
Building season runs spring to fall. Spring books up first, so the best time to get on the list is the fall or winter before.

Questions we get
When should I book a patio or retaining wall?
Spring through fall is building season. Spring fills up first, so the best time to get on the list is the fall or winter before.
Can you work on a steep or rocky lot?
Yes. That describes most properties in Muskoka. We plan the layout around the slope and the rock.
Do you bring the gravel and stone?
Yes. We pick up gravel and stone at the pit with our own dump truck and bring it right to the site.
