Transforming Play: The Gore Street Turf Project

Crafting Active Spaces: A Backyard Designed for Family Fun

Meet the Gore Street Project: Shades of Green's pioneering venture into the realm of large turf installations, a testament to our commitment to meeting our clients' unique needs. Spearheaded by Luke, this project embarked on a mission to convert a once neglected backyard into a vibrant play paradise. From clearing the old to laying down a vast concrete pad and synthetic turf, every step was methodically planned to ensure a durable and versatile outdoor area. This wasn't just about installing turf; it was about creating a year-round playground for a family's children to enjoy sports, games, and even a winter hockey rink. Witness the transformation from unusable to unbelievable, a journey of turning dreams into durable, dynamic spaces.

Before Shades of Green intervened, the backyard was a quagmire of mud and weeds, hardly a place where children could play. The vision? A multi-purpose, all-weather play area that could adapt to the active lifestyle of a young family. The solution involved an intricate process of excavation, gravel laying for proper drainage, and the expert installation of high-quality synthetic turf by Classic Landscape Lighting. Beyond just aesthetics, this project was a deep dive into functionality, providing a safe, clean, and maintenance-free space that encourages kids to play outdoors. From the concept to completion, the Gore Street Project stands as a beacon of innovation in family-centric outdoor design, ensuring endless fun and activity regardless of the season.

"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!!! "
