We design gardens using species native to the Georgian Bay region including white pine, red oak, sugar maple, birch, serviceberry, dogwood, and a wide range of Ontario-adapted perennials. Native plants establish faster in Simcoe County's soil, require less water once rooted, and support local pollinators and wildlife. Our 3D design process shows you exactly how your garden will look at maturity.
We build healthy gardens from the ground up—amending Simcoe County's clay-heavy soils with organic matter, installing proper drainage where needed, and selecting plants adapted to your property's specific sun and moisture conditions. Combined with premium mulch and proper spacing, our plantings establish quickly and require minimal chemical inputs to thrive year after year.
Our planting designs prioritize beauty without the burden of constant care. We select self-sustaining perennials, ground covers that suppress weeds, and trees that mature gracefully without heavy pruning. Combined with proper drainage and quality mulch beds, your Midland garden will look lush season after season with minimal weekend effort.
Whether you want a vibrant perennial border, a shaded woodland garden, privacy screening, or a complete property planting to complement your backyard or front yard design, our planting services bring your landscape to life. We also install gardens around patios, retaining walls, and water features to soften hardscape edges and add natural beauty.

Plants are what bring a landscape to life. At Forty Five Scapes, our planting services go far beyond digging holes and dropping in shrubs. We design comprehensive planting plans for properties across Midland, Penetanguishene, Tiny Township, and Tay Township that consider soil conditions, sun exposure, mature growth size, seasonal interest, and long-term sustainability. Every garden we install is built to thrive in Simcoe County's unique growing conditions.
Simcoe County presents a range of soil conditions from the clay-heavy soils common in Midland's residential areas to the rocky, thin soils near Georgian Bay's shoreline. We test and amend soil as needed before planting, adding organic matter to clay soils for better drainage and nutrients to sandy soils for improved moisture retention. Our plant selections are rated for Zone 5b, ensuring they survive our coldest winters.
We prioritize native species that have evolved to thrive here. White pine, red oak, sugar maple, and birch provide canopy structure. Serviceberry, dogwood, ninebark, and viburnum fill the mid-story. Native perennials like coneflower, black-eyed Susan, wild columbine, and ferns create ground-level interest. These plants require less water, resist local pests, and support Georgian Bay's pollinators and wildlife.
We design planting plans that keep your Midland property looking great year-round. Spring bulbs and early-blooming shrubs start the season. Summer brings full perennial borders and lush foliage. Native trees provide brilliant fall colour. Evergreens, ornamental grasses, and seed heads offer winter structure against the snow. Every planting plan considers all four seasons.
Our planting services are often part of a larger design-build project that includes hardscaping, lighting, and structural features. Plants soften the edges of retaining walls, frame views, screen utilities, and create the transitions between different outdoor zones. We coordinate planting timing with the rest of your construction schedule for seamless results.
