We are excited to share this one. A project where artistry and craftsmanship truly shine together.
This property came with challenging access, complex logistics, and a steep hillside that demanded thoughtful planning from the start. Transforming spaces like this is never simple, but we love the process & the end result is always worth it.
What was once a difficult slope is now a calm, natural backyard retreat designed for year round enjoyment.
The Upper Terrace is one of our favourite features. As you complete your journey through the natural slab staircase, the Terrace opens up with a gorgeous flagstone patio and a boulder retention wall with newly planted Hemlock trees in the continuing hillside. It was intentionally designed so the homeowners can flood it in winter and create their own skating rink! A space that transitions from summer gatherings to winter memories.
Every step, stone, and boulder was meticulously and strategically placed. Natural stone carries texture, movement, and character. When installed properly, it feels like itβs always belonged there.
Please look through to see the after photos first, followed by the before photos and construction progress to appreciate the full transformation.
