Fonthill, Ontario

Forestview Paradise

A once challenging space now hosts a stunning retreat for the whole family.

Seeing the possibilities

When we met this client, he had a beautiful wooded country lot but struggled to see how his dream outdoor space could come together. Elevations on the property posed a significant challenge, and made it hard for our client to picture the final layout. He originally cut a few things from the plan, but after meeting with us on-site and seeing how we marked out the space, his confidence grew. So did his excitement.

Blending nature and luxury

We tackled the property’s 4-foot elevation difference by incorporating armour stone retaining walls that blended seamlessly into the natural surroundings. A custom pool with a waterfall became the heart of the project, complemented by a spacious patio, elegant landscape lighting and lush plantings. To complete the retreat, we coordinated the design and construction of a custom-built pool house. The following year, cobblestone walkways were added to finish off the look and bring everything together in harmony.
