Now your dream getaway is just steps away:

  1. 1We confirm all the details. Remember - no one likes surprises, especially not at this stage. The project is reviewed by the sales rep, landscape designer and the construction foreman assigned to your project, to ensure all needed components are identified.
  2. 2The crews and any specialized tradespeople are assigned to your project.
  3. 3Locates are requested by Cedar Springs for the various utilities and services on your property. This is done to avoid unnecessary damage, injury, or service interruption.
  4. 4You will need to apply for the necessary permits (parking, site alterations, road occupancy, or building permits, for example). Don't want that inspector shutting down your dream for lack of a little paperwork.
  5. 5Crews begin the work. Depending on the type of project, the usual order looks like this: demolition if necessary, excavation, material delivery, base prep, electrical/plumbing rough in, hardscapes (masonry), carpentry, lighting & appliance installation, planting & sodding, site repairs, if necessary, detailing, testing, clean up.
  6. 6If anything comes up and we have some advice, we'll let you know. As usual, we'll get down all the details and send out any plan changes to you, so you always know where we all stand.
  7. 7When the project is complete, your sales rep and foreman make a final walkthrough and any outstanding items are taken care of.
  8. 8We'll arrange a follow up visit with you to see what you think. While we love doing the work, what makes it really rewarding for us is to see that you love your new space. If you'll let us, we'll also snap a few pictures for our portfolio.

Why choose Cedar Springs?

We are defined by character

We have worked hard for our reputation as a company that provides superior quality landscapes in Oakville, Burlington and the surrounding areas. We achieve that, first, by employing people of character – people that want to create products that are built to last.

We are guided by experience

Of course, the physical features of your current property will affect what is built and how it's done. Some things, like site elevations, the locations of utilities and soil conditions, are dealt with in the design phase.

But other features, like changes in soil content or unexpected materials underground, can only be identified once construction begins. As an example, when building the base for a deck, we may find that the lower soil makeup is less stable and a deeper footing would be needed to ensure a sound deck structure.

Cedar Springs foremen have the expertise to identify and resolve relevant issues as they come up. We know the quality of the finished product depends on our experienced, conscientious people.

We are approachable

You can always feel free to approach your site foreman on the job, or contact your sales rep with questions or concerns as the project unfolds.

We are neat freaks

Construction crews tidy work areas and sweep walk areas at the end of each workday.

How elevation impacts your landscape

Elevation Drawing

Your property’s current elevation plays a big part in how we build your getaway. Put simply, your elevation(s) may help or hinder you, depending on what you want to achieve.

If your property is a low flat grade for example, some features, like a stone patio, will be relatively simple to accomplish. But if your property is sloped or has multiple elevations, a lot of backfill and a retaining wall might be needed to achieve that same patio. A raised deck, on the other hand, might be more accommodating, without needing grade changes – or added expense.

Elevation is a good thing to consider when planning your project, and can have a big effect on the work, materials and budget that will be needed. Talk to us about how we design with your property in mind.
