Loyalist Properties

New Builds, Lakefront Homes and Country Lots

New builds. Many new homes come with basic grading and a thin layer of topsoil. We finish the job with proper grading, healthy sod and a patio or walkway that suits the house.

Along Lake Ontario. Homes near the water in Bath and Amherstview deal with wind, spray and runoff. We plan materials, planting and drainage that respect the shoreline.

Space to work with. Around Odessa, larger lots and longer driveways call for durable surfaces and drainage that keeps the property dry from spring melt to fall rain.

New Home Roadmap

Finishing a New-Build Yard, Step by Step

You don't have to do it all at once. This is the order we recommend for most new homes in Loyalist.

1

Fix the grade

Make sure water drains away from the foundation before anything else goes in.

2

Lay the lawn

Add quality topsoil and sod so the yard is usable and erosion stops.

3

Add a patio

Build an outdoor living space sized for how you entertain.

4

Layer in the rest

Gardens, privacy planting and lighting can follow as time and budget allow.

Common Questions

Landscaping in Loyalist: Your Questions Answered

Do you take on projects in Amherstview, Bath and Odessa?

Yes, all the time. Loyalist Township is right next door to Kingston, which makes it one of the easiest areas for us to serve.

We just moved into a new build. Where should we start?

With grading and drainage. Once water moves away from the house, sod, gardens and a patio have a solid start. We can plan the rest in stages.

Part of our yard floods every spring. Can you help?

Usually, yes. Our article on why yards hold water in spring covers the common causes. We find the source on site and recommend a fix that lasts.

How soon could work start?

It depends on the season and our schedule. Projects booked over the fall and winter are first in line once the ground is ready in spring.

What does landscaping a new-build yard usually cost?

That depends on the size of the yard, how much grading is needed and what you want to add. We give you a written quote after a site visit, and our Kingston landscaping cost guide explains what affects the price.
