About us

Maple Ridge Landscaping was founded in Barrie with a single goal: build outdoor spaces homeowners are proud of, year after year. What started as a two-person crew has grown into a full-service team of designers, hardscape specialists, and certified arborists. Every project starts with a conversation about how you actually use your yard. From there we design, source, and build — always on time, always on budget, and backed by a five-year workmanship warranty.

A note from the owner

"We don't leave a job until you'd be proud to have us back next year for the photoshoot."

I started Maple Ridge in 2008 after fifteen years working for one of Toronto's largest landscape design firms. The reason I went out on my own was simple: I wanted every job done to the standard I'd want at my own house. Every project I take on still goes through me personally — quote, design, and final walk-through. If something isn't right, you talk to me directly.

FAQ

How much does a typical landscaping project cost? +
Costs vary widely based on size, materials, and complexity, but here's a rough guide: a basic interlock walkway typically runs $4,000–$8,000, a full backyard patio install is $15,000–$45,000, and a complete design-build transformation usually lands between $50,000 and $150,000+. We give you a fixed written quote after the free consultation so there are no surprises.
How far in advance do I need to book? +
For spring/summer install slots, we typically book 6–10 weeks ahead. Fall installs (great for hardscape — better material pricing and faster scheduling) usually book 3–4 weeks ahead. Snow contracts must be signed by October 15. Emergency tree removal and repairs we handle within 48 hours.
Are you insured? +
Yes. We carry $5M liability coverage, full WSIB on every crew member, and tools/equipment insurance. Certificates available on request before any work starts.
Do you take a deposit? +
Standard residential projects require no upfront deposit — you pay 50% at material delivery and 50% at project completion. Larger commercial contracts may include a milestone payment schedule, which we'll lay out clearly in the quote.
What's covered under the workmanship warranty? +
Our 5-year workmanship warranty covers any failure due to installation — settling beyond tolerance, shifted pavers, retaining wall movement, drainage issues, etc. It's separate from manufacturer material warranties (which we also register on your behalf). Warranty paperwork is signed at the final walk-through.
Can you match an existing landscape style? +
Absolutely — and we encourage it. We've matched everything from heritage 1920s estates to modern minimalist builds. Bring photos, drawings, or just point at the neighbour's yard you've always liked. Our designer will work from there.
Do you handle the city permits? +
Yes. For projects requiring permits (retaining walls over 1m, certain drainage modifications, tree removals near property lines), we handle the entire permit application and inspection process. Cost is included in the quote.
What happens if I don't like the result? +
We don't ask for final payment until you're satisfied at the walk-through. If something's not right, we make it right — that's the whole point of the warranty. In 17 years and over 500 projects, we've never had a job leave unresolved.
