Outside Spaces Designed Around Oakville’s Neighbourhoods

Landscaping options vary significantly across Oakville neighbourhoods, depending on lot size, proximity to Lake Ontario, tree coverage, drainage conditions, and local soil type. Here’s how our team handles various yard issues across areas in Oakville.

Southeast Oakville and the Morrison Enclave

Neighborhoods in these areas have large lots with extensive tree canopies, which often require careful grading, drainage planning, and tree protection strategies before construction begins. We recommend natural stone walkways, luxury pool covers, outdoor lighting, and layered gardens that complement the unique architectural styles.

Glen Abbey & River Oaks

For the family-focused neighbourhoods in Glen Abbey and River Oaks, we design functional outdoor living spaces that balance outdoor entertainment, require low maintenance, and support year-round usability. For instance, we design and install multi-level patios, covered seating areas, and drainage upgrades

Joshua Creek & Glenorchy (Uptown Core)

Modern homes in these neighborhoods have well-planned lots and many zoning restrictions. For such properties, we recommend contemporary interlocking designs, privacy screens, pergolas, and low-maintenance outdoor features that maximize usable space.

Our expertise in various landscaping, including:

Interlocking Patios

If you plan to spruce up your home’s outdoor living area, interlocking patio pavers are a good way to do it. They’re visually appealing, require low maintenance, and can boost your home’s value significantly. Work closely with our skilled landscapers to visualize your desired interlocking patio using a 3D design.

We’ll work closely with you to compare and choose pool materials, dimensions, water features, and pool lighting that best match your preferences.

Build a Custom Deck

Our deck installation experts have won numerous awards for exceptional and customized deck solutions. Whether you need a waterfront deck, rooftop deck, or multi-level decks, we’ll work closely with you to create unique deck designs that complement your home’s design.

LED Outdoor Lighting

Illuminate your driveways, walkways, pool decks, and other landscaping features, while also deterring intruders. It also highlights the beauty of your property’s architecture and landscaping. This creates stunning visual effects and improves curb appeal. Indeed, proper landscaping lighting can create a welcoming ambiance in your outdoor space.

To ensure a higher level of customer satisfaction, we follow the following steps to handle landscaping and outdoor construction projects.

Step 1: On-Site Assessment

Our team will assess your property layout, drainage conditions, and other aspects. Whether you own a lakeside home in Southeast Oakville or a newer house in Glenorchy, a detailed assessment allows us to align your vision with the services we provide.

Step 2: Custom Design and Permits

After the assessment, our in-house designers will create a detailed 3D yard plan and let you preview the suggested layouts, materials, lighting, grading, and outdoor features before construction begins. If permits or approvals are required, our team will help coordinate the application process.

Step 3: Actual Landscaping Work

Once we obtain the necessary permit, our in-house team will begin the construction process. From excavation and drainage preparation to hardscaping, lighting, planting, and final finishing details, every phase will be handled by professionals.

Step 4: Enjoy Your Finished Outdoor Space

Whether it’s a low-maintenance backyard retreat, a luxury pool, or a functional front entrance upgrade, your new landscape will be designed to complement your property and withstand Oakville’s changing seasons for years to come.

Smaller landscape projects cost as low as $5,000 while complex projects involving 3D planning, lighting layouts, and custom hardscaping can cost as high as $100,000. Therefore, it’s recommended to request a free quote and schedule an on-site assessment. The final cost of your project will depend on the following factors:

• Property grading and drainage requirements
• Premium hardscaping materials
• LED lighting and planting complexity
• Permit or engineering requirements
• 3D landscape design detail

Oakville has a competitive real estate market, which is why many homeowners view landscaping as a long-term investment that improves curb appeal, outdoor functionality, and overall property value. Let our team help budget for your desired upgrades.

Many landscaping projects in Oakville require permits or municipal approvals for landscaping work that involves changes to grading, drainage systems, tree removal, pools, or larger outdoor structures. Given that most Oakville neighbourhoods sit on heavy clay soil and sensitive creek or ravine systems, improper landscaping changes can lead to flooding, erosion, or compliance issues.

At Action Home Services, we help homeowners assess their landscaping projects and help obtain the following permits.

For all projects that involve stripping a significant area of topsoil or extensive excavations, we’ll ensure that Site Alteration By-law 2023-047 isn’t violated. Other permits that may be needed during landscaping include the Park Access permit (for backyards with limited access, and contractors must use the public park for access).

Depending on the scope of your project, you may not need a permit, especially for minor yard work. For mid-range or extensive landscaping work, you may need one or a few permits. The AHS team will handle it all so we can keep your project on track.
