Our design and build process starts with an on-site consultation at your Midland or Penetanguishene property. We assess your lot's grading, soil conditions, sun exposure, and existing features to create a plan that works with your landscape—not against it. From 3D landscape renderings to final installation, you work with one dedicated team throughout the entire project.

Georgian Bay properties demand materials and construction methods that hold up to freeze-thaw cycles, lake-effect moisture, and heavy snowfall. We use premium natural stone, pressure-treated lumber, and commercial-grade hardscape products proven to perform in Simcoe County's climate. Every retaining wall, patio, and garden bed is built to last decades.

Our single-team approach means no juggling subcontractors or chasing timelines. From excavation and lot grading to planting and landscape lighting, everything is coordinated in-house. Midland and Penetanguishene homeowners appreciate the simplicity of one point of contact managing their entire outdoor renovation.

We design and build complete outdoor living spaces that extend your home into the Georgian Bay landscape. Whether you want a stone patio for summer entertaining, an outdoor kitchen overlooking the water, or a custom fireplace for cool autumn evenings, our design-build model delivers your vision without compromise.

Our custom deck designs are shaped by the unique character of properties across Midland, Penetanguishene, and the Georgian Bay shoreline. We account for lakefront views, prevailing winds off the bay, and the way natural light moves across your yard throughout the seasons. Whether your home overlooks Georgian Bay or backs onto the wooded lots of Tiny Township, we create decks that frame the landscape and extend your living space outdoors. Pair your new deck with landscape lighting to enjoy those long summer evenings on the water.

Simcoe County's harsh freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and summer humidity demand materials that can perform year after year. We build with pressure-treated lumber, Western red cedar, and premium Ipe hardwood -- each chosen for its ability to withstand our local climate. All structural framing meets Ontario Building Code requirements for snow load ratings, and our fasteners and hardware are selected to resist corrosion from Georgian Bay's moisture-rich air. Compare options with our cedar deck building service.

For cottage owners on Georgian Bay, Lake Couchiching, or throughout Tiny and Tay Townships, a low-maintenance deck is essential. We offer composite and capped-composite decking options that resist fading, staining, and mould growth -- ideal for properties that sit unoccupied during shoulder seasons. Our designs incorporate proper drainage slopes, hidden fastener systems, and ventilated substructures that prevent moisture buildup beneath the deck surface, keeping your cottage deck in top shape with minimal seasonal upkeep.

A custom deck from Forty Five Scapes becomes the foundation of your outdoor lifestyle in Midland and Penetanguishene. We design multi-level decks with dedicated zones for dining, lounging, and entertaining -- with built-in options for outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and pergola shade structures. Many of our clients integrate their deck with a broader design-build landscaping plan that ties together hardscape, softscape, and outdoor living features into one cohesive property transformation.

Your front entrance should reflect your home's character and welcome guests with style. We design custom entrances for Midland and Penetanguishene homes featuring natural stone steps, stone walkways, layered garden beds, and accent lighting that creates an inviting approach from the street to your front door.

Front entrances in Midland face snow, ice, salt, and heavy foot traffic all winter long. We use slip-resistant flagstone and natural stone for steps and walkways, install proper drainage to prevent ice buildup, and build retaining walls with frost-depth footings that hold up through decades of Simcoe County winters.

A beautiful entrance should not require constant maintenance. We select native plantings that thrive in Georgian Bay's climate, install durable hardscaping, and design mulch beds that suppress weeds and retain moisture. Your Midland front entrance will look polished season after season with minimal effort.

A professionally landscaped front entrance is one of the highest-return improvements you can make. Combined with a complete front yard design and driveway upgrades, a custom entrance can significantly increase your Midland or Penetanguishene home's market value and neighbourhood appeal.

Every backyard in Midland and Penetanguishene is different—lot size, sun exposure, soil type, and how your family uses the space all shape the design. We start with an on-site assessment and develop a custom plan using our 3D landscape design process so you can see exactly how your new backyard will look before any construction begins. From intimate garden retreats to full outdoor living spaces, we tailor every project to your property.

Simcoe County backyards face extreme temperature swings, heavy frost, and significant snowfall. We select materials and construction methods that perform through it all—natural stone patios that resist cracking, retaining walls with proper drainage and footings, and plant selections rated for Zone 5b. Your Midland backyard will look as good in year five as it does on day one.

We design Midland backyards for enjoyment, not endless weekend maintenance. Native plantings, quality mulch beds, and efficient drainage systems reduce the time you spend working in your yard. Durable hardscape surfaces eliminate muddy patches, and strategic tree placement provides natural shade that reduces the need for structures.

Transform your Midland backyard into a complete outdoor living space. We integrate stone patios, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, pergolas, and landscape lighting into cohesive designs that extend your home's living area. Georgian Bay evenings are best enjoyed outdoors—we build the spaces that make it happen.
