The Orillia build context.
Orillia is a city that notices when work is done right — and notices, even more, when it isn't. Heritage homes, Couchiching waterfront, a downtown that takes pride in how things look. If you live here, you've probably already seen what bad landscaping does to a beautiful property. We're here to make sure that's not what happens to yours.
The terrain
Lake Couchiching and Lake Simcoe shoreline plus mature urban neighbourhoods. Older homes mean older drainage systems that need careful integration with new hardscape.
The soil profile
Lake-influenced clay loam common across the city, with sandy pockets near the shoreline. Older established neighbourhoods often have surprise utility runs that excavation must respect.
Common project types we build here
- Heritage home walkway and step restorations
- Couchiching shoreline patios
- Downtown courtyard redesigns
- Modern decks for waterfront cottages

Why our landscape design lasts.
Most contractors sketch your project on the back of a quote sheet during the first visit. That's how you end up with a $50K patio that doesn't drain — or matches the wrong side of the house. We separate design from construction on purpose. Get the plan right first. Build the right thing second. The order matters.
Quick answers about
landscape design in Orillia.
Is the design fee refunded if I build with you?
100% — every dollar of the design fee comes off your final invoice if you proceed to construction with us. The fee exists to ensure serious clients and cover the design time.
Can I take your design to another builder?
Yes. The design is yours. Most clients build with us because we know the design intimately, but you are not locked in.
How long does the design process take?
Typical timeline is 4–6 weeks from kickoff: 1 week for measurement and concept, 2–3 weeks for design iteration, 1 week for final renderings and quote.
What if I just want plants and beds, not hardscaping?
We design soft-scape only projects. Planting plans, garden beds, lighting, and irrigation can be designed and built without any patio or wall work.
Trusted across Simcoe County.
"Yorkis and the team built our backyard patio in Innisfil and the difference is night and day. The level of detail in the base prep — they showed me photos at every stage — gave us complete confidence. Two winters in, perfectly flat."
"We got three quotes for our retaining wall. Golden Maple wasn't the cheapest but they were the only ones who explained geogrid and showed us the engineered drawing. The wall is gorgeous and rock solid."
"The 3D rendering Yorkis sent us before construction matched the finished backyard almost exactly. No surprises, no scope changes mid-build, fixed price held the whole way through. Rare in this industry."
