See Your Finished Space Before We Break Ground

As a property owner, you want to ensure your finished landscape looks and functions exactly as you envision. Our advanced 3D landscape designs let you visualize every aspect of your project before the work begins. From grading to improve drainage on Markham’s clay-heavy lots to patio layouts, planting healthy lawns, and creating outdoor living spaces, we show a life-like 3D project plan.

Note that you can refine every detail of your project plan to align with your preferences before we begin the actual landscaping work.

For Markham homes, there’s no one-size-fits-all landscaping solution. Properties in older neighborhoods like Unionville, Thornhill, and Markham Village often require careful planning around mature trees and established grading.

On the other hand, homes in newer communities such as Cornell, Wismer, and Greensborough can benefit from grading improvements and soil preparation. Here’s how we customize our services to meet the varied requirements of Markham neighborhoods.

Yard Drainage Services

Heavy clay soil found throughout Markham drains slowly, leaving many property owners with standing water, muddy lawns, and pooling near foundations after heavy rain. Whether your yard needs regrading, catch basins, trench drains, or French drains, our team has got you covered. Whether you live in West Thornhill, Markham Village, Don Mills Channel, or other areas with poor drainage, let our landscaping team help resolve your yard drainage issues.

Commercial Landscaping

From office plazas along Highway 7 and Woodbine Avenue to commercial properties throughout Downtown Markham, businesses need regulatory-compliant landscapes tailored to their brands. At Action Home Services, we ensure your landscaping project aligns with Markham’s strict spatial boundary regulations, the tree preservation (bylaw 2017-26), and the boulevard bylaw-2018-109.

Our team designs commercial landscapes that remain visually appealing despite heavy pedestrian traffic, winter snow removal, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Custom Lighting Systems

Highlight the natural beauty of your home’s landscaping and architectural style with a custom lighting system. Our team can help install and maintain LED lights that create stunning visual effects and enhance your property’s curb appeal. The best part? Our professional designers will use advanced 3D software to help you visualize your illuminated walkways, driveways, and other areas of your yard.

From assessing your yard’s clay-rich soil and drainage to obtaining the necessary permits and preparing the site, we handle every aspect of your project. `

Step 1: Let’s Assess Your Outdoor Area

During your consultation, we’ll discuss your landscaping needs, assess drainage patterns, grading, soil conditions, sun exposure, and existing outdoor features. Whether your Markham home has mature trees or compacted builder-grade soil, we’ll recommend landscaping solutions that suit your property, not a one-size-fits-all backyard design.

Step 2: We Plan Every Last Detail

Our skilled designers will work closely with you to create a detailed design that aligns with your vision. Next, we will handle your project’s permit applications and the planning process. This may include managing zoning reviews, grading considerations, drainage compliance, and retaining wall approvals.

Step 3: Watch Your Yard Transform

Once we obtain the permits and necessary approvals, our in-house team will begin the yard transformation work. From excavation and base preparation to hardscaping, lighting, drainage, and final landscaping details, we handle every project phase professionally and in-house. Additionally, we help choose locally adapted plants and shrubs for your lawn or backyard.

Step 4: Enjoy New Space

Now that your project is complete, it’s time to relax or entertain your guests in your newly landscaped yard. Remember, your yard requires routine maintenance. Our team will provide practical landscape maintenance tips to keep your outdoor space stunning.

Landscaping costs in Markham vary depending on the size of the property, material selections, drainage requirements, grading conditions, and the overall scope of work. For instance, softscaping costs range from $5 to $25 per square foot, while complex hardscaping and outdoor construction projects cost more depending on complexity and site conditions. Here are aspects that can increase your project costs.

• Hardscaping installations
• Plant selection
• Water features, ponds, or pool installations
• Landscape lighting systems
• Custom outdoor structures and premium design features

It’s crucial to note that two backyards with identical square footage can require very different landscaping budgets. Factors such as difficult access, poor drainage, heavy clay soil, existing concrete removal, or significant grading corrections often have a greater impact on cost than the project’s scope alone.
