Why Forty Five Scapes

What makes our landscaping company stand out

1

Our own crew and equipment

Design, excavation, stonework and planting are done by the Forty Five Scapes team, not passed down a chain of subcontractors. The people who quote your job are the people who build it.

2

5-year installation warranty

Every installation we build is covered for five years. If something we built settles or shifts, we come back and fix it.

3

100+ completed projects

From backyard patios to waterfront estates and commercial lots, our portfolio covers more than 100 finished projects around Georgian Bay. Ask us for references near you.

Clear quotes, quick answers

Local to Midland and Penetanguishene

We're based on Fuller Ave in Penetanguishene and our work is in community parks and city buildings around Midland, as well as private properties across the bay.

6

15+ years in the trade

More than fifteen years of building landscapes in Midland, Collingwood, Barrie and the surrounding area means we know the soils, the slopes and the permits before we break ground.
