Spaces Built the Right Way
At Greenspace Landscaping & Outdoor Living, we believe longevity and quality craftsmanship are the foundation of every successful project. Often, the most important parts of a landscape are the elements you never actually see. The base preparation beneath a patio or new lawn, the way a root ball is handled before planting a tree, or the foundation beneath a retaining wall all play a critical role in how well a landscape performs over time.
Many of the details that determine the success of a project are buried underground or hidden within the structure of the installation. When these elements are done correctly, they quietly support the beauty and functionality of the finished space for years to come. When they are done poorly, problems can begin to appear surprisingly quickly.
At Greenspace, we approach every project with a commitment to building things properly from the ground up. A few core principles guide the way we work.
Ongoing Education & Knowledge of Best Practices
Landscaping is an industry that continues to evolve as new materials, techniques, and standards emerge. Our team is committed to continually learning and refining our craft so we can deliver the highest quality work possible. We regularly attend provincial conferences, study proven construction methods, and stay informed about the latest landscaping and installation practices. This commitment to education allows us to approach each project with confidence that we are applying the best methods available.
Thoughtful Material Selection
The materials used in a landscape have a significant impact on both the appearance and long-term performance of a project. While the final material selections are always made by our clients, we place a strong emphasis on recommending high-quality, proven products that will stand the test of time. Our goal is to help guide material choices that reflect the investment being made in the property and support a landscape that will continue to perform well for many years.
Corners Never Cut
Unfortunately, we often hear stories of failed retaining walls, heaving driveways, or struggling plantings that have occurred because key steps in the installation process were skipped or rushed. These types of problems are frustrating because, in many cases, they are entirely preventable. At Greenspace, we are committed to building landscapes the right way the first time. Our clients should feel confident that the work being installed on their property has been completed with care, attention to detail, and a focus on long-term value. By refusing to cut corners, we aim to deliver projects that stand up to time and eliminate the need for costly repairs or replacements down the road.
Ongoing Care & Support
Our relationship with our clients does not end when the project is complete. Landscapes are living, evolving spaces, and as they grow and mature, questions or small adjustments may naturally arise.
At Greenspace, we are a company that genuinely cares about the people who work with us. We are always happy to answer questions, offer guidance, or help address anything that may come up in your landscape over time. Whether you are unsure about the care of a particular plant, notice a pest or issue developing, would like something pruned in a specific way, or need a repair to part of the landscape, our team is here to help.
We believe this level of care and accessibility should be common practice in our industry. Our goal is to remain a trusted resource for our clients long after installation so you can continue to enjoy your outdoor space with confidence.
Industry-Leading Warranties
A landscape project is a meaningful investment in your home, and it should be built with the expectation that it will last. At Greenspace, we stand behind the work we install and the materials we use. Our warranties are designed to give you confidence that your landscape has been built properly and that our team will support the project after installation.
We carefully select materials, follow proven installation practices, and pay close attention to the details that influence long-term performance. When those elements are combined with clear warranties, our clients can feel comfortable knowing their outdoor space has been built with longevity in mind.
Depending on the elements included in your project, the following warranties may apply:
Interlock Patios, Walkways, and Retaining Walls — 10 Year Warranty
Hardscape elements such as patios, walkways, and retaining walls are built to serve as long-lasting structural features within your landscape. When installed by our team, these systems are covered by a 10-year workmanship warranty that reflects the quality standards we apply during installation.
Lighting & Water Features — 5 Year Warranty
Outdoor lighting enhances both the beauty and usability of your property. Our lighting installations are backed by a five-year warranty so you can enjoy reliable performance from your lighting system.
Fences, Decks & Pergolas — 5 Year Warranty
Outdoor structures such as fences, decks, and pergolas play an important role in defining and supporting your outdoor living space. Our installations are backed by a five-year warranty.
Irrigation Systems — 5 Year Warranty
A properly installed irrigation system helps maintain the health and appearance of your landscape over time. Our irrigation systems are backed by a five-year warranty to ensure reliable operation and long-term performance.
Lawn Installations — 1 Year Warranty (with Irrigation)
Lawn installations that include a full-coverage Wi-Fi supported irrigation system are covered by a one-year warranty to help ensure the lawn establishes properly and grows into a healthy, vibrant surface.
Garden Bed Installations — 1 Year Warranty (with Irrigation)
For garden bed installations that include a full-coverage Wi-Fi supported irrigation system, we provide a one-year limited warranty to support proper plant establishment and early growth. This helps ensure the planting areas develop into healthy, thriving parts of your landscape.
While the exact terms and coverage details vary depending on the project, the goal of these warranties is simple: we want our clients to feel confident that the landscapes we build are designed to perform and that our team stands behind our work.
Full warranty terms, conditions, and limitations are outlined in our project agreements. These details ensure clarity for both our team and our clients while reinforcing our commitment to building landscapes that last.
We hope that you will be our next 5-star review!
let's answer some of your most common questions
How much does a landscaping project typically cost?
Every landscaping project is unique, so the final investment depends on the size of your property, the elements included in the design, and the materials selected. Smaller projects such as garden bed installations may begin around a few thousand dollars, while larger outdoor living spaces involving patios, lighting, planting, and structures can reach $50,000–$100,000 or more. During our initial consultation, we take time to discuss your goals and budget so the design can be developed in a way that aligns with your investment while still achieving the vision you have for your outdoor space.
What is the process for starting a landscaping project with Greenspace?
Our process is designed to be clear and collaborative. First, we meet on site to discuss your goals, ideas, and budget. From there, we develop a landscape design and project plan. Once the design is finalized, we provide a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work and investment. After approval, your project is scheduled and our team begins installation. When the project is complete, we review the finished space together and remain available for ongoing care and support.
Do you handle the entire landscaping project?
Yes. Our team manages the majority of our projects from start to finish, including design, site preparation, construction, planting, lighting, and finishing details. For certain specialized elements, we may work with trusted trade partners, but we coordinate the process to ensure everything integrates smoothly with the overall project.
How long does a landscaping project usually take?
Project timelines vary depending on the scope of work. Smaller projects may take only a few days, while larger outdoor living spaces involving patios, structures, and planting can take several weeks. Once the design and scope are finalized, we provide a clearer timeline so you know what to expect before construction begins.
When is the best time of year to start a landscaping project?
Landscaping projects can typically be completed from spring through late fall. Many clients begin planning in winter or early spring so their projects can be scheduled earlier in the season. Because our installation calendar fills quickly each year, we often recommend reaching out several months in advance if you are hoping to complete a project during the upcoming season.
Do I need a landscape design before starting the project?
Not always, but thoughtful planning almost always leads to a better result. The vast majority of our projects begin with design so that the layout, materials, and plant selections work together cohesively before construction begins. We consider landscape design to be the cornerstone of all successful projects.
How do I know which landscaping materials to choose?
There are many material options available for patios, walkways, and other landscape elements. During the design process, we guide you through the available options and recommend materials that are durable, proven, and well suited to your property. Our goal is to help you select materials that reflect your style while also supporting long-term performance.
Will landscaping increase the value of my home?
A well-designed landscape can significantly enhance curb appeal and overall property value. Outdoor living spaces such as patios, walkways, lighting, and structured planting beds often provide strong returns by improving both the beauty and usability of the property. Just as importantly, these improvements create outdoor spaces you can enjoy every day.
How disruptive is a landscaping project?
Some disruption is unavoidable during construction, but our team works carefully to minimize the impact on your property and daily routine. We maintain an organized job site, communicate clearly about the progress of the project, and aim to complete installations as efficiently as possible while maintaining quality workmanship.
How do you ensure the landscape will last?
Longevity begins with proper construction. Many of the most important aspects of a landscape—such as base preparation, drainage, and structural support—are hidden beneath the finished surface. Our team follows proven installation methods and industry best practices to ensure the landscape performs well over time, and we stand behind many of our installations with industry-leading warranties.
Do you offer warranties on your landscaping work?
Yes. We offer warranties on many of the landscaping elements we install, including patios, retaining walls, lighting systems, irrigation systems, fences, decks, and lawns. These warranties reflect our commitment to building landscapes properly and standing behind the work we deliver. Full warranty details and coverage terms are outlined in our project agreements.
What happens if something goes wrong after the project is finished?
Our relationship with our clients does not end when the project is complete. If questions arise or something needs attention, we are always happy to help. Whether it is guidance on plant care, addressing an issue, or helping with repairs, we remain available to support our clients and their landscapes over time.
Do you offer landscape maintenance services?
Yes. In addition to landscape construction, we offer maintenance services to help clients care for their outdoor spaces as they grow and mature. This can include garden care, pruning, seasonal cleanups, and general landscape upkeep so your property continues to look its best.
Will my new landscape require a lot of maintenance?
Maintenance requirements vary depending on the design and the types of plants or features included. During the planning process, we can recommend plant selections and landscape features that align with the level of maintenance you are comfortable with. Some landscapes are designed to be very low maintenance, while others may require more regular care.
Do you install irrigation systems?
Yes, we work with a skilled subcontractor who specializes in irrigation systems to install full-coverage systems for our projects. Irrigation is one of the best ways to support healthy plant growth and maintain a vibrant lawn, and many systems can be controlled with Wi-Fi enabled technology for convenience.
What types of landscaping services do you offer?
Greenspace Landscaping & Outdoor Living offers a wide range of services including landscape design, patios and walkways, driveways, planting and garden beds, landscape lighting, irrigation systems, fences, decks, outdoor structures, lawn installations, and landscape maintenance. Our goal is to create cohesive outdoor spaces that combine beauty, functionality, and long-term value.
How far in advance should I book my landscaping project?
The best time to reach out is now. Regardless of where we are in the season, we would love to hear from you. Our installation calendar fills quickly each year, and reaching out early gives us more time to discuss your goals, develop a design, and schedule the project at the right time.
Why should I choose Greenspace Landscaping & Outdoor Living?
Clients choose Greenspace because they want a team that values thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and clear communication. We focus on building landscapes the right way, using proven installation methods and materials that stand the test of time. Our goal is to create outdoor spaces that feel beautiful, functional, and built to serve your property well for years to come.
What happens if my quote comes back over my budget?
We always aim to design landscapes that align with our clients’ budgets. Occasionally certain elements, materials, or site conditions can push a project beyond the initial target investment. When this happens, we are always happy to work with you to adjust the project scope. This may involve modifying material selections, adjusting the scale of certain features, prioritizing key elements, or phasing the project over time. Our goal is to value-engineer a landscape that still achieves your goals while remaining financially comfortable for you.
Do I need to know exactly what I want before contacting you?
Not at all. Many of our clients begin with only a general idea that they would like to improve their outdoor space. Part of our role is helping you explore possibilities, develop a clear vision, and guide you through the design process so the final landscape feels intentional and well planned.
What if my property has challenges like drainage issues or uneven grading?
Many landscapes have underlying issues such as poor drainage, uneven grading, or aging hardscape features. These challenges are often opportunities to improve the long-term performance of the space. During the planning process we assess site conditions and recommend solutions that address these issues while integrating them into the overall design.
How involved will I need to be during the project?
We aim to make the process smooth and manageable for homeowners. After the design and project details are finalized, our team handles the majority of the construction work. We keep you informed of progress along the way and are always available to answer questions, but you do not need to manage the project yourself.
How do I know if Greenspace is the right landscaper for my project?
Choosing the right landscaper comes down to trust, communication, and confidence in the team performing the work. We encourage homeowners to review our past projects, read client reviews, and speak with us about their goals. Our approach focuses on thoughtful design, quality construction, and building landscapes that last, and we want every client to feel confident that they are working with a team that genuinely cares about the result.
