Landscaping Design & Construction in Orillia

Forty Five Scapes brings professional landscape design and construction to Orillia homeowners, from lakeside properties on Couchiching and Simcoe to established neighbourhoods throughout the Sunshine City. We build outdoor spaces where families gather, entertain, and create the kind of memories that define summers in Orillia.

Full-Service Landscape Builds in Orillia

Every Orillia project starts with a 3D landscape design that gives you a clear picture of the finished space before construction begins. Our design-build team manages the full build — excavation, grading, hardscape installation, and planting — with one crew on your property from start to finish.

For Orillia families, this means a seamless process from concept to completion. No juggling multiple contractors. No gaps in the schedule. Just a beautiful outdoor space delivered on time and built to the standard your home deserves.

Lakefront & Drainage Solutions in Orillia

Orillia’s position between Lake Couchiching and Lake Simcoe creates specific site conditions — high water tables, clay-heavy soils, and seasonal flooding in low-lying areas. We engineer drainage systems that move water away from structures, build retaining walls that handle Orillia’s grade changes, and prepare bases that stay stable through freeze-thaw cycles.

For lakefront properties, our shoreline work and waterfront retaining walls protect your land from erosion while creating beautiful, functional access to the water for your family to enjoy all summer long.

Patios, Outdoor Kitchens & Gathering Spaces in Orillia

Orillia living is about being outside — and your hardscaping should make that easy. We install stone patios built for hosting, walkways that connect your home to the yard, and complete outdoor living areas with kitchens, fire features, and seating walls that turn your backyard into the gathering spot for the whole neighbourhood.

Add landscape lighting and your family can enjoy the space long after the sun sets over Lake Couchiching. We build outdoor rooms that feel as comfortable and intentional as anything inside your home.

Built for Orillia’s Lakeside Climate

Orillia’s lake-effect climate brings heavy snowfall, deep frost, and wet springs that test every surface and structure in your yard. We build on frost-depth footings, use engineered grading for proper surface drainage, and select trees and plantings rated for Zone 5 conditions.

Every material is chosen for long-term performance in Orillia’s specific conditions. The result is a landscape your family enjoys from Victoria Day weekend through Thanksgiving — and one that comes back looking great every spring without major repairs.
