A manicured garden with stone path and flower beds at golden hour

Gardens that remember
the hand that made them.

Private landscape design, build and seasonal care for homes across Markham and the Greater Toronto Area. We work small, slow, and deliberately — one property at a time.

The slow art of a good garden.

We're a small studio of designers, horticulturists and stoneworkers based in old Markham village. We don't subcontract, we don't chase volume, and we plant for the climate we actually have — not the one in the catalogue.

Design

Site walks, hand-drawn plans, planting palettes built around your light, soil and use.

Build

Interlock, dry-stone, raised beds and irrigation. Done by the same crew, every time.

Tend

Weekly maintenance and seasonal cleanups so the work keeps looking like the day we left.

Took our tired front yard in Unionville and turned it into something I genuinely look at every morning. Crew was tidy, on time, and the planting plan still looks intentional after a full season.

Hired them for a full interlock patio and a rebuild of two retaining walls. Drainage actually drains. They explained every choice and never tried to upsell. Quietly professional.

We've used three different lawn companies in Cornell. LocalRoots is the only one that bothered to ask about how we use the yard before mowing. The grass shows it.

Designed a pollinator border along our fence in Cathedraltown. By July the bees had completely moved in. Beautiful, knowledgeable, fair price.

Snow plan through last winter was flawless — driveway done before 6am every storm, no salt damage on the new pavers. Worth every dollar.

Took a little longer than estimated due to weather, but the finished garden bed and stone edging are beautiful. They came back twice to tweak plant placement until we were happy.
