Retaining Walls Installation
Retaining walls are hardscaping elements uniquely constructed to keep compact soil rigidly in place where there is a change in ground elevation, such as a steep angle. The structure is designed to allow for drainage while withstanding the lateral or horizontal pressure of the soil being retained.
Local Pros can repair eroded retaining walls to prevent further collapse or construct a new one. Masonry, concrete, or brick are the preferred building materials due to their high durability and weather-resistance.
Planning, designing and constructing a durable retaining wall requires intensive labour and expertise in structural engineering to ensure the best results.

Walkway Design and Installation
Whether it’s your front entrance that needs sprucing or the path from your patio to the garage, a new walkway installation is attractive and adds value to your home.
Paths and walkways can be an immersive experience for visitors to your home, providing a clear and safe route for foot traffic while adding depth and creativity to one-dimensional hardscape surfaces.
Winding or straight, circular or curved, walkways can be designed for functionality and appeal, with a wide range of hardscaping construction materials to help you achieve the desired effect. Gravel, interlocking stones, flagstones, mulch, and brick are just some of the available options for installing a residential walkway.

Lawn Edging Installation
Weather-proof lawn edging is an economical way to add structure to outdoor spaces, allowing for a cleaner, more organized appearance to your home exterior and property.
Demarcating property lines around your lawn, limiting weed growth, keeping garden soil in place, or lining a new interlocking stone walkway are just a few reasons for installing lawn edges. Plastic, metal, brick or composite lawn edging can be seamlessly integrated into your landscape for both functionality and appeal year-round.
Once you’ve decided on the type of lawn edging you prefer, accurate perimeter measurements are essential to procure the right amount for your hardscaping project. Local Pro landscapers provide hardscaping design expertise as well as procurement and installation of your lawn edging to help you achieve professional results.

Is Hardscaping Right For Your Home?
Designing and installing an exterior landscape with seamlessly integrated hardscaping elements can be rewarding but very time-consuming and labour intensive.
Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or you prefer professional help, hardscaping is worth the time and investment for several reasons.
Retaining Walls Protect Boundaries
- An eroding retaining wall is both unsightly and costly for your property.
- Installing sturdy retaining walls made of durable construction will maintain the structural integrity of your property boundaries.
- Whether your retaining walls need to be replaced or reenforced, a Local Pro can make the right assessment to save you money and time.
Walkways Add Functionality
- In addition to being attractive focal points, installing a gravel walkway, ribbon walkway, or interlocking walkway provides visitors a safe unobstructed route to and from your home.
- Lighting, florals, and motion-sensors can be added to further enhance the functionality of your walkway.
- Local Pro landscapers can recommend the best design for your walkway, along with durable, low-maintenance hardscaping materials for lasting results.
Lawn Edging Adds Curb Appeal
- Clearly demarcating your landscape with decorative edging can help to highlight the various features of your home’s exterior.
- Hardscape edging around gardens, lawns, walkways and patios creates structure and form, directing the observer with clean lines.
- Rubber, plastic, brick, wood, paver or concrete – a Local Pro can help you choose and install the right type of lawn edging for your hardscaping project
