Design ideas for a contemporary backyard landscaping in Toronto.

Homeowner had a very tight space which prevented any furniture or other items from getting into the basement. We tore out the existing railing and rebuilt a new oak railing with a removable system - the railing itself is one unit and can be removed and reinstalled with just nine screws. This new system will allow large furniture and other basement play things to be moved up and down the stairs without having to gut the stair railing.

The entryway plays an important role in the overall appeal of the cellar. For this particular project in California, our clients opted for a glass custom wine cellar door. It provides a lovely view of the wine room. We insulated the glass to prevent condensation from forming in the cellar. The Barolo style door complements the existing decor of the home.

We converted an underused back yard into a modern outdoor living space. A bright tiled planter anchors an otherwise neutral space. The decking is ipe hardwood, the fence is stained cedar, and cast concrete with gravel adds texture at the fire pit. The gas fire pit unit is by Cement Elegance.

Do you have a steep slope on your property that you want to do something with? Try a technique we call "boulder cropping" to hold the slope, provide places to stand while tending to your garden or harvesting flowers, and prevent soil erosion. The slope will become a wonderful display garden as the slope helps keep each plant in the spotlight and each plant helps hold the soil in place. The play between hard surface and softscape will always provide interest as the seasons, colors, and lighting change.

Although the L-shaped stairway prevented us from running a large connected family room running the length of the basement, we did realize during our evaluation that it would provide a perfect place to add a wet bar. Thus, providing our homeowners with another item that they could check off of their wishlist.

This striking arrangement of natural boulders and drought-tolerant plants that not only enhances the visual appeal but also plays a crucial role in controlling erosion. Complementing the boulders, a selection of drought-tolerant plants is thoughtfully integrated into the design. These plants, with their diverse textures and colors, create a vibrant landscape that thrives in Santa Fe’s arid climate. Ornamental grasses rise alongside the boulders, adding height and movement, while flowering plants provide splashes of color that attract pollinators and enhance biodiversity. Groundcover is used to fill in gaps, preventing soil erosion while also softening the edges of the boulders. The overall effect is a harmonious blend of hardscape and softscape that draws the eye along the driveway, making the journey more visually engaging while ensuring that the landscape remains sustainable and functional. This design approach not only beautifies the property but also promotes environmental stewardship by minimizing water usage and preventing soil loss.
