At Oakly Landscaping, we take pride in turning outdoor visions into reality. Recently, we completed a front and backyard renovation in Oakville (L6H 0P4), bringing together interlock, sod, planting, lighting, and finishing touches that gave this home a brand-new look. The project was completed in two weeks, with a total cost of $40,000 – $45,000, and delivered a functional yet stylish landscape that will serve the homeowners for years to come.

Driveway Extension & Front Porch Upgrade

The first stage of the project involved extending the driveway with Techo-Bloc Shale Grey Blue 60 stones, chosen for their durability and modern look. We began by marking and excavating the area, going down 12 inches to establish a strong base. Layers of clear gravel and Geotech landscape fabric were installed for drainage and soil stabilization, followed by precise leveling with High-Performance Polypropylene (HPP).

Once the surface was ready, we installed 80mm stones with careful alignment, filled joints with polymeric sand, and reinforced the edges with concrete to prevent movement. The result was a seamless, long-lasting extension that blends perfectly with the home’s exterior.

The front porch upgrade included new step stones and detailed interlock installation. Similar base preparation ensured strength, while the stonework provided both function and curb appeal.

Backyard Walkway & Interlocking Patio

For the backyard, we designed a walkway leading to a custom interlocking patio. Excavation reached a depth of 7–8 inches, followed by the installation of landscape fabric, gravel, and compacted layers for stability. The patio stones were carefully leveled and secured with polymeric sand, creating a space ideal for gatherings, dining, or relaxation.

This addition not only expanded the usable outdoor area but also tied the landscape together, providing flow between the different backyard features.

Professional Sod Installation by The SodFather

To bring life to the yard, we partnered with The SodFather, trusted experts in sod installation. Their team began by protecting existing features, flagging sprinkler heads, and removing the old grass with precision equipment. Premium triple-mix topsoil was spread to enrich the soil and ensure proper drainage.

Freshly cut Kentucky Bluegrass sod from Greenhorizon was then laid in a staggered pattern for a natural look, compacted with a lawn roller to establish strong root contact. Edges were trimmed neatly around garden beds and walkways, creating a seamless finish. The project was completed with a detailed care package for the homeowners, ensuring their new lawn thrives with proper watering and maintenance.

Landscape Installation & Planting

The landscape design included two custom garden beds—one against the street and another facing the ravine. We supplied and installed a mix of plantings sourced from Sheridan Nurseries, including:

12 Hill Yews for structure and privacy
1 Japanese Maple (15 Gallon) as a striking focal point
5 Hydrangeas for seasonal color
6 yards of black mulch and 6 yards of triple-mix soil for healthy growth and moisture control
A full row of armour stone to anchor the design and add visual weight

These selections created year-round interest while maintaining balance between elegance and low-maintenance care.

Landscape Lighting

To enhance the atmosphere, we installed 4 uplights and 4 pathway lights. These were connected with low-voltage wiring and a durable transformer, ensuring efficiency and safety. Careful planning of fixture placement highlighted the garden beds, walkways, and patio, making the space equally enjoyable after dark.

Powerwashing & Final Touches

As the last step, our crew carried out professional powerwashing to refresh surfaces and restore their clean finish. Using a 4800 PSI washer, combined with cleaning solutions and sealants, we removed construction debris, cleaned the stonework, and sealed the surfaces for protection. The geo polymeric sand was refilled in joints, locking everything into place.

This not only rejuvenated older surfaces but also gave the entire property a cohesive, polished look.

Commissioning & Handover

Upon completion, our team conducted a thorough walkthrough with the homeowners. Every feature—from the sod to the lighting—was tested and demonstrated. We also handed over detailed care instructions and warranty details, ensuring the property owners felt confident maintaining their new landscape. With all work complete, the keys to the project were officially handed back, marking another successful Oakly Landscaping transformation.

Conclusion

This Oakville front and backyard renovation showcases the strength of collaboration, craftsmanship, and design. With quality materials from Techo-Bloc, Greenhorizon, and Sheridan Nurseries, sod installed by The SodFather, and careful execution by Oakly Landscaping, the result is a timeless outdoor space that enhances both lifestyle and property value.
