My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Love the bench built into the rock

Nice charcoal fence for beside MBR, protecting the sauna/hot tub area.

love the slate patio for the edge of the hill. love the random pieces in the grass too.

The dark slate is unique and maybe a good base for muskoka perch to pull the charcoal colours from the house to the landscaping. Could consider a stone gas fireplace in that area overlooking the lake.

I like the stone steps down from the higher back yard to the lower area of yard toward the fire pit.

flagstone for muskoka chair perch would look nice

I like the outdoor sauna with view of the lake
Q

I could see this setup on the southeast side of the MBR to provide privacy from the neighbours....just don't want to affect the view from the MBR. Consider sinking the hot tub into the ground so not to impede the view.

Love the rough fescue area that surrounds the tidy pool/deck area...could do stone walkway through it to the Muskoka perch
Q
Photo
we created this at our last lakefront property and LOVE the look with the armour stone behind the patio....but there has to be a walkway to it without having to walk through the grass or it might not get used as much as we'd like
Q

simple way to create a covered sitting area nearer the water that isn't vulnerable to the weather, although our shade at cottage withstood the winds fine
Q

like the use of boulders along with stone slab steps down to the lake
Q

modern planters might be a nice barrier transition from "clean" landscaping around the house to the "native" landscaping down to the lake
Q

native landscape on way down to lake
Q

love the rustic stone steps down to the lake with native landscaping different from the "clean" landscaping up near the house/pool
Love the bench built into the rock
