After the consultation, our design experts create detailed plans and visualizations of your project.

Obtaining Permits
Before commencing any work, it’s essential to secure the necessary permits and approvals. Landscaping Etobicoke manages this process on your behalf, navigating local regulations and building codes to ensure compliance. Our team liaises with municipal authorities, submitting required documents and obtaining permits efficiently. This proactive approach minimizes delays and ensures that your stonework installation proceeds smoothly and legally.

Site Preparation
With permits secured, Landscaping Etobicoke begins site preparation by clearing the area of debris, vegetation, and any obstacles that could hinder the installation process. Our team meticulously grades the site to ensure proper drainage and a stable foundation for the stonework. This step is critical for the long-term durability and performance of your project, whether it involves a driveway, patio, walkway, or retaining wall.
After grading, we proceed to prepare the sub-base by compacting layers of gravel to create a solid base. The thickness and composition of the sub-base are customized to suit the specific requirements of your stonework installation. Our attention to detail during site preparation sets the stage for a seamless construction phase, ensuring that your outdoor space not only looks beautiful but also functions effectively for years to come. Trust Landscaping Etobicoke to execute every aspect of your project with precision and care.

We offer a wide range of options, including interlocking pavers, flagstones, and natural stones, each available in various colors, textures, and sizes.

Once the materials are selected, we handle the procurement process, ensuring timely delivery to the site. Our established relationships with reputable suppliers guarantee access to the best materials at competitive prices.

The quality of the materials we use directly impacts the durability and appearance of your stonework, making this step a critical part of our commitment to delivering exceptional results.
Stonework Installation
The installation phase is where your vision starts to take shape. Landscaping Etobicoke’s skilled craftsmen begin by laying the stones according to the approved design plan. For interlocking projects, we ensure each paver is placed precisely to create a seamless and uniform surface. Our team uses specialized techniques and equipment to cut and fit the stones perfectly, ensuring tight joints and a professional finish. For flagstone and natural stone installations, we carefully select and position each stone to create a harmonious and natural look.
Throughout the installation process, we pay close attention to detail, from maintaining consistent joint widths to ensuring proper alignment and leveling. Our professional team also implements necessary measures for drainage and stability, such as installing edge restraints and applying polymeric sand to lock the stones in place. This meticulous approach guarantees that your stonework not only looks stunning but also withstands the test of time.
Final Inspection and Clean-Up
Upon completion of the installation, we conduct a thorough final inspection to ensure every aspect of the project meets our high standards and your expectations.
