Back Yard Landscaping Design
Life is increasingly moving outdoors, and many are choosing to upgrade their outdoor living spaces instead of relocating to a larger home. In the midst of everyday hustle, having a serene retreat in your backyard offers essential relaxation.
Promasterscape specializes in exceptional backyard landscaping and design services across Toronto, Markham, Stouffville, North York, Mississauga, Oakville, Richmond Hill, Aurora, and King City. Our team of experts crafts stunning backyards tailored to fit your lifestyle perfectly.
Backyard Landscaping Ideas:
Creating a backyard landscape design that looks great, fits your budget, and meets your needs can be challenging. To help you generate ideas, consider these questions:
-
How much time can I dedicate to maintaining the backyard garden?
-
What style appeals to me? Modern, traditional, or perhaps Japanese?
-
What is my budget for this backyard landscaping project?
Answering these questions will give you a clear idea of the landscape design that suits your backyard.
A well-designed backyard will provide ample outdoor living space tailored to your lifestyle.
At Promasterscape, we guide you through the planning process and keep you informed throughout. We start every project with a detailed plan and invite you to review it with us to ensure we deliver quality results that meet your expectations.
1. Finding the perfect patio size:
For every backyard landscaping design project in the GTA, we carefully measure the area to ensure precision. Accurate measurements allow us to create the perfect patio size for gatherings while preserving space for a beautiful garden. This meticulous approach helps us get it right the first time, ensuring your backyard meets all your needs.
2. Gardening and landscaping
No yard is complete without plants. Greenery not only adds visual appeal but also helps make the space cooler and more relaxing. We always ask our Toronto-based clients about the time they can dedicate to gardening and the level of effort they're willing to invest.
Typically, we incorporate low-maintenance bushes and trees into our designs.
At Promasterscape, we believe that a yard can be beautiful without requiring a lot of upkeep from our clients.
3. Picking out pavers:
At Promasterscape, we use only the highest quality paving materials to ensure that each walkway, driveway, and patio we build stands up to the seasons. Durable paving materials are essential for a solid backyard landscape design. Since patios act as your outdoor living room, the pavers should be both functional and attractive.
Different pavers cater to various needs. Some are eco-friendly, while others offer affordability. You might even need slip-resistant materials for a pool area. With so many options available, Promasterscape is here to guide you through the selection process.
When installing a new patio or resurfacing an existing one, you can choose from popular materials such as concrete, flagstone, pavers, and brick. Selecting the right materials will ensure your investment endures for years to come.
4. Patio Placement Guidelines:
Many people assume that a patio should be positioned directly off the back of the house, but there are several factors to consider for optimal placement:
- Purpose of the Patio: Determine how you plan to use the patio. For example, if you want a space for sunbathing, choose the sunniest spot in your yard.
- Proximity to the Home: Consider how close you want the patio to be to the house for convenience and accessibility.
- Available Space: Ensure there is enough room for the patio and any additional features you want to include.
- Sun and Shade: Evaluate the sun and shade patterns throughout the day to find a spot that matches your preferences for light and comfort.
- Views: Take advantage of any attractive views from your yard to enhance the overall experience of the patio.
The most crucial aspect of patio placement is its functionality. The patio should be situated in a location that best suits its intended use and complements the overall design of your outdoor space.
5. Patio Placement Tips:
-
Break Up Large Patios: Divide a large patio into multiple outdoor rooms to accommodate smaller groups and create a more intimate atmosphere.
-
Create a Destination Patio: Place a smaller patio further out in the yard to create a unique destination. This could take advantage of scenic views or offer a private retreat, ideal for a pair of chaise lounges or an outdoor conversation set.
-
Cooking or Dining Patios: Position cooking or dining areas close to the house for convenience. This minimizes the distance you'll need to carry food and utensils from the indoor kitchen, making for a more practical setup.
