Outdoor Living Built for South Frontenac Properties
South Frontenac properties come with space, character and a few challenges. Long driveways, sloped lots, rocky ground and clay soil all shape how a landscape should be built. We plan for those conditions from the start, so your patio stays level, your walls stay standing and water goes where it should.
Mark of Excellence Landscaping has been owner-operated since 2014. Mark is a Humber College trained Landscape Technician with ICPI certification, and he is happy to answer your questions at every stage of the project.

Built for the Land
We Plan for South Frontenac's Ground Conditions
Rock and slope. Many lots sit on shallow bedrock or rolling terrain. We work with the grade, using retaining walls, terracing and steps to turn awkward slopes into usable space.
Clay and drainage. Heavy soils hold water, and standing water is what lifts and sinks patios over a few winters. Proper grading and base preparation come first on every project.
Lake properties. Waterfront homes on lakes around Sydenham, Inverary and Battersea need safe access and erosion control. We build paths, steps and walls that hold up near the water.
Long driveways. Rural driveways take a beating. We prepare a deep, compacted base so interlock and entrances stay solid under vehicles and snow removal.

What Our Clients Say
"After much exterior work on my home, our yard and associated retaining wall and gardens were in desperate need of some expert care. Mark and his crew did a great job grading our yard, repairing retaining walls, laying new sod and crafting new borders for our gardens. Mark is a pleasure to deal with: responsive, creative, and easy to have on site."Nancy Quinn
FAQ
South Frontenac Landscaping Questions
Do you travel to Sydenham, Verona and Harrowsmith?
Yes. South Frontenac is part of our regular service area, along with Kingston and the surrounding townships. Every quote starts with a visit to your property.
Can you build on a sloped or rocky lot?
Yes. Slopes and shallow rock are common here. We use grading, retaining walls, terracing and natural stone steps to create level, usable space that works with the land.
Do you handle excavation and drainage yourselves?
Yes. Excavation, grading and drainage are part of our services, so the base under your patio, walkway or driveway is built to our standards from the ground up.
When should I book a spring project?
Fall and winter are the best times to plan. Booking a consultation early helps secure your preferred start date in the spring.
How much will my project cost?
Cost depends on the size of the project, the materials you choose and your site conditions. We provide a personalized quote after an on-site consultation. Our guide to landscaping costs in the Kingston area explains what drives pricing.
