Another Urban Oasis: Transforming a Downtown Space

Maximizing Limited Access for a Complete Backyard Overhaul

Welcome to our journey at one of the season's final downtown projects, where the challenge of limited access becomes an opportunity for creativity. Leveraging a vacant lot for entry, we embarked on a transformative mission: to revamp a constrained outdoor space into a vibrant, welcoming area. The demolition of old fences and the removal of outdated pavers set the stage for a fresh start. Envision a newly designed landing, an inviting patio, and a reconstructed fence enhanced with elegant wooden planter boxes. This project exemplifies our ability to navigate logistical hurdles, turning tight spaces into functional and aesthetically pleasing environments. With careful planning and a touch of ingenuity, we're crafting an accessible urban retreat, proving that no area is too small for a significant transformation.

In the heart of the city, our latest project illustrates the power of innovative problem-solving in landscape design. Faced with the challenge of a mere 2.5ft passage between buildings, our team found a solution through the adjacent vacant lot, enabling us to introduce the necessary equipment for a complete backyard makeover. This project is a testament to our commitment to enhancing urban living spaces, regardless of access constraints. The transformation will include a new landing, patio, and a beautifully rebuilt fence with integrated planter boxes, turning a once-inaccessible area into a functional and attractive outdoor living space. This endeavor not only revitalizes the property but also enriches the urban fabric with a touch of greenery and craftsmanship, showcasing our dedication to bringing life and beauty to every nook of the city.

"From the moment I met Alyssa I knew this was the team to tackle our landscaping project. We could not have found a more skilled, dedicated, and professional group of individuals to work with us in transforming our yard. They provided solid advice every step of the way and even when I made some last minute modifications they took up the challenge enthusiastically and made it work beautifully. Steven, Luke, Paul and Alyssa go above and beyond to create beautiful landscapes. They are also a lovely family and it was apparent they are proud of the work they do together. We absolutely love what they did for us and would use them again without hesitation. "

"We are delighted with the beautiful work done on our property by Shades of Green landscaping. Alyssa worked with us to produce a design for the patio and gardens and she incorporated our ideas into the plan, as well as adding some excellent features. Steven and the crew did a fantastic job grading the property, doing the planting and prep work, and installing the stone steps, landings, walkway and patio. They are perfectionists and did the work as if it was their own home. The results are stunning. Paul supervised and did a professional job trimming the huge old maple trees on the property. They were totally reliable in all aspects, from the timelines, work and pricing. We highly recommend this family business! "

"I have had the distinct pleasure of working with this family business on many occasions. Their team consists of world-class managers, artists and labourers. They create magnificent landscapes through the use of leading edge technology and high quality natural resources. Better yet, their business is built on an eco-friendly foundation, and the custom nature of their work allows for a unique work of art every time. Kingston is lucky to have Shades of Green, and if your company is ever looking to expand into the Toronto market, please let me know!!! "
