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. Before your consultation, our landscape design ideas and luxury landscape design guide are a good place to collect what you like.
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.
When you choose a design and build approach for your Midland property, you eliminate the guesswork and stress of coordinating separate designers and contractors. At Forty Five Scapes, we manage every phase of your landscape project—from the initial 3D design concept through to the final walkthrough. This integrated approach saves you time, reduces miscommunication, and ensures your finished landscape matches the vision you approved.
Landscaping along Georgian Bay presents unique opportunities and challenges. Waterfront lots in Midland and Tiny Township often feature rocky terrain, mature tree canopies, and sloping grades that require specialized knowledge. Our team has built dozens of properties across the region, understanding how to work with armour stone, manage drainage, and select plantings that thrive in our Zone 5b climate.
Whether you have purchased a new construction home in Penetanguishene or own an established property in Midland's older neighbourhoods, our design-build services adapt to your situation. New builds often require lot grading, sod installation, and foundational landscaping from scratch. Existing homes benefit from phased renovations that refresh tired landscapes while preserving mature trees and existing features worth keeping.
A typical design-build engagement with Forty Five Scapes covers site analysis, concept development, material selection, and full construction. Depending on your property, this may include retaining walls, hardscaping, custom decks, garden installations, and irrigation systems. We also coordinate any required excavation or land grading as part of the overall scope.
Midland residents know that outdoor living does not end when the leaves turn. We design four-season spaces with fireplaces, pergolas, and sheltered seating areas that let you enjoy your property from spring through the first snowfall. Combined with professional landscape lighting, your outdoor space becomes a year-round extension of your home.
