Landscape Design & Construction in The Blue Mountains

Forty Five Scapes creates distinctive outdoor living spaces for Blue Mountains homeowners, from escarpment-view properties to village homes near the base of the slopes. We design and build landscapes that complement the area’s dramatic setting and give your family a reason to spend every free moment outside.

Custom Landscape Builds in The Blue Mountains

Blue Mountains properties come with incredible views and unique site conditions that require thoughtful design. We start with a 3D landscape design that captures your property’s topography, sightlines, and natural features, then build it out through complete landscape constructionexcavation, hardscaping, planting, and finishing — all under one crew.

For families who chose The Blue Mountains for the lifestyle, we create the outdoor spaces that make that lifestyle real — places to gather after a day on the slopes, cook outside on a summer evening, or watch the kids play while you take in the escarpment views.

Escarpment Terrain & Hillside Landscaping

The Blue Mountains’ escarpment terrain means steep grades, rocky substrate, and heavy water runoff during spring melt. We build retaining walls and stone step systems that manage elevation changes while preserving your views. Our drainage solutions handle the volume of water that moves through hillside properties — protecting your home and hardscaping from washout.

Proper grading is critical here. We engineer every surface to direct water away from structures and into controlled drainage paths, giving your family a yard that stays dry and usable even after the heaviest spring thaw.

Natural Stone & Outdoor Living in The Blue Mountains

Blue Mountains homes deserve hardscaping that matches the setting. We install natural stone patios and terraces, flagstone walkways, armour stone features, and outdoor living spaces designed around how your family actually uses the property — whether that’s evening entertaining, morning coffee with mountain views, or weekend gatherings with extended family.

We also install landscape lighting that extends your outdoor hours and highlights the natural beauty of your property’s setting after dark. The Blue Mountains lifestyle is about being outside — we build the spaces that make it effortless.

Built for Blue Mountains Snow Country

Blue Mountains winters bring some of the heaviest snowfall in southern Ontario, with rapid temperature swings and deep frost penetration across the escarpment. We install frost-depth footings under all structural elements, specify materials rated for extreme freeze-thaw exposure, and select plants and trees that thrive in the area’s Zone 5 microclimate.

Every base is compacted to spec, every grade is calculated for melt runoff, and every stone is set to handle the forces that Blue Mountains weather delivers. Your family’s landscape should welcome spring looking as strong as it did in fall.
