Other services include snow removal, seasonal cleanups, driveway sealing, asphalt repairs, pool installations, and outdoor kitchen construction and maintenance. To enhance your property’s functionality and aesthetic appeal, we provide the following services.

Interlocking Patios, Walkways, or Driveways

Interlocking patios, driveways, and walkways are a good way to spruce up your home’s outdoor living area. Generally, interlocking pavers are visually appealing, require low maintenance, and can significantly increase your home’s market value. Therefore, work closely with our skilled landscapers to design and visualize your desired interlocking structures using a 3D design.

Design a Backyard Oasis

At AHS, we design and install custom features to help Oakville homeowners create resort-like backyards that improve the quality of their day-to-day lives. We’ll work closely with you to compare and select features, such as a swimming pool, privacy screens, canopies, and grass or shrubs, that best match your preferences. Schedule a consultation today and discuss your project with a professional.

Custom LED Outdoor Lighting

Illuminate your patios, driveways, walkways, pool decks, and other landscaping features, while also deterring intruders with custom outdoor lighting. Proper lighting also highlights the beauty of your property’s architecture and landscaping. This creates stunning visual effects and improves the overall appearance of your property.

Landscaping options vary significantly across Oakville neighborhoods, depending on lot size, proximity to Lake Ontario, tree coverage, drainage conditions, and local soil type.

For instance, most property owners prioritize year-round visual appeal by mixing native or locally adapted plant species, such as seasonal perennials and evergreens. This helps create beautiful gardens that thrive in harsh weather and ensure sustainability. Here’s how we tailor our landscaping solutions to meet the needs of specific neighborhoods across Oakville.

Southeast Oakville and the Morrison Enclave

Homes in these neighborhoods have large lots with extensive tree canopies. This necessitates proper grading, drainage planning, and tree protection plans before construction begins. That’s why we recommend natural stone walkways, quality pool covers, outdoor lighting, and layered gardens.

Glen Abbey and River Oaks

Most old properties in Glen Abbey and River Oaks have sizable front and back yards. For such homes, we design functional outdoor living spaces that balance outdoor entertainment and require low maintenance. For instance, we design and install multi-level patios 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 team follows the following steps to handle landscaping and outdoor construction projects and ensure a higher level of customer satisfaction.

Step 1: Consultation & Free Estimate

Before recommending landscaping solutions, we take the time to understand your frustrations. From standing water and unusable lawns to aging hardscapes and underutilized outdoor areas, we’ll assess your property, identify the issues, and discuss the best path forward. We’ll also provide a free quote.

Step 2: Project Planning and Obtaining Permits

After the initial assessment, our in-house designers will create a detailed 3D yard plan. We’ll work with you to preview the suggested layouts, materials, lighting, grading, and outdoor features before construction begins. Next, we’ll help you obtain the necessary permits and approvals to ensure quality work that’s code-compliant.

Step 3: Actual Transformation

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

Step 4: Enjoy Your Finished 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.

Most landscaping projects in Oakville require permits or municipal approvals for structural work that involves changes to grading, drainage systems, tree removal, pools, or larger outdoor structures. Given that most Oakville neighborhoods 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. Our dedicated project management team will provide the professional support you need to bring your vision of a luxury backyard to life.
