A Note From the Founder

Built like it's
our own backyard.

Start with the way you want to use your backyard, then work through the details that make the plan practical.

In an industry known for shortcuts, we'd rather take the extra time and do it properly. When a family is going to live with a space for the next twenty years, it's worth building right the first time.

Discuss who will supervise the work, how site protection and communication will be handled, and which excavation, drainage and material specifications belong in your written scope.

My promise is simple: an honest quote, careful work, and a backyard your family will actually want to spend time in.

Sound Familiar?

You've been burned
by a contractor before.

Compare more than the headline price. Ask each contractor to explain site preparation, drainage, written scope, payment stages and how changes will be approved.

Your Patio is Sinking After One Winter

Typical:

They dug 6 inches, threw down some gravel, and called it a base. Now your stones are uneven and you're back to square one.

Our Way:

We review drainage, soil, access, and the project-specific excavation/base plan before finalizing a written scope.

They Took Your Deposit and Disappeared

Typical:

They were responsive before you paid. Now it's been three weeks with no updates, no timeline, and no one answering the phone.

Our Way:

Yorkis is on-site personally. You get daily photo updates and direct communication from the owner — not an answering machine.

The 'Final' Price Kept Climbing

Typical:

What started as a $15K quote turned into $22K after 'unforeseen' extras. Sound familiar?

Our Way:

We give you a fixed, detailed quote upfront. The price we agree on is the price you pay. No exceptions, no surprises.

Your Property Looked Like a Construction Zone

Typical:

Materials dumped on the lawn, equipment blocking the driveway, debris everywhere for weeks.

Our Way:

Our crew cleans and organizes the site every single day. Your neighbours won't even know we're there.

Real Homeowners. Real Results.

Don't take our word for it.

"We got three quotes. Two contractors wanted to dig 6 inches. Yorkis said he'd go 14. Three winters later, not a single stone has moved. You get what you pay for — and with Golden Maple, you get perfection."

Michael R.

Barrie, ON

"I was nervous spending this much on our backyard. Then Yorkis showed us the 3D render and I literally started tearing up — it was the exact space I'd been dreaming about since we moved to Innisfil. And the finished product? Even better."

Sarah L.

Innisfil, ON

"After being ghosted by two other contractors, Golden Maple was a completely different experience. Daily updates, a clean site, and they finished on time. Our neighbours keep coming over to ask who did the work."

Common Questions

Expert Insights.

Why do you dig so much deeper than other contractors?

Freeze-thaw, drainage, soil, access, and the intended use all affect site preparation. We confirm the project-specific excavation and base plan in the written scope.

Why TimberTech instead of regular wood decking?

Because nobody wants to spend their weekends sanding and staining a deck. TimberTech AZEK doesn't rot, warp, or splinter — even after decades of Simcoe County snow and ice. It looks like real wood without any of the maintenance, and it comes with up to a 50-year warranty.

What if something goes wrong after the project is done?

Ask for the current written workmanship terms for your project.

Is there a fee to get started?
