Winner of 2nd prize in the Gardens of Light and Shadow category at the APPQ 2022 gala, this project is a feat of engineering and design.
Our design and site teams worked brilliantly to bring this challenging project to fruition. This is where the expression Think Outside the Box takes on its full meaning!
The first challenge was to retain the light in the rear basement, while not restricting the exterior landscaping. The solution: create a huge coping using Boulder rock type natural stone, and build part of the steps with a central black steel stringer so as not to have risers.
The inside of the coping was laid out so as to enjoy a view of the plants in the basement.
The second challenge was a major one: installing an above-ground swim spa in the ground.
By its very nature, an above-ground swim spa cannot be buried in the ground, as its outer walls must be able to breathe and also allow the spa to be maintained. The solution: build a concrete “bunker” around the spa so that it can be placed at the bottom, giving the impression that it’s dug in.
We needed a minimum clearance of 24″ between the spa walls and the concrete walls to allow human access for spa maintenance and repair. The underground circulation area is therefore camouflaged by a composite patio with a custom-cut access hatch for climbing down.
The purpose of this first encounter is to develop a thorough understanding of your needs, desires, and vision for an ideal outdoor space. We will then be able to determine the time required for project planning and execution and provide you with an estimate of the costs.
The landscaping plan guides our decision-making, enabling us to suggest optimal solutions for your living space. This plan will be tailored to your individual needs so you can fully delight in outdoor living. Following approval by your municipality, the implementation phase begin.
Let the real work begin! During this phase, the scope of work is complex and extensive, yet essential to ensuring the sustainability of your project: demolition, excavation, drainage, pool digging, compacting of foundation, levelling, stake, wood structure, etc.
Upon the completion of construction work, our experts will turn to final touches, gradually revealing the final look and feel of your landscape. This will be the opportunity to integrate and harmonize all elements of your outdoor space, including paving stones, carpentry, plantings, irrigation, fencing, outdoor lighting, and outdoor furniture.
Our project manager will guide you through your newly transformed dream backyard, ensuring utmost satisfaction.
Now, we’ll leave you to the pleasure of discovering the art of outdoor living!
Preserve the quality of your landscape for the next 10 years by relying on our team of experts to maintain and beautify your outdoor spaces.
