DESIGN.
BUILD.
DONE RIGHT.

One team from your first sketch to the finished space — landscape design and construction for complete backyard and front yard transformations across the GTA.

Design-build means one team owns your project from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. No handoffs between a designer who drew something unbuildable and a contractor who prices it double. TSL Contracting designs what we build and builds what we design — across Toronto and the GTA.

It starts with a site visit and a real conversation about how you want to use the space, what you love, and what budget you are working with. From there we develop a plan — layout, materials, planting, lighting — priced honestly against that budget. When you approve it, the same team that designed it shows up to build it.

A full design-build project can include everything on this site: interlocking driveways, retaining walls and steps, patios and outdoor living space, sod and gardens, fencing, grading and drainage. One design. One crew. One result.

Common Questions

DESIGN-BUILD FAQ.

What does design-build actually mean?
It means the company that designs your landscape is the same company that builds it. You get one point of accountability, designs that are actually buildable at your budget, and no markup-on-markup between separate firms.
How does budget work?
You tell us your range early and we design to it — not 30% above it. If your wishlist exceeds the budget, we will show you what to phase for later instead of quietly cutting quality. Most clients are surprised what honest phasing makes possible.
How long does a full backyard project take?
Design typically takes a couple of weeks including revisions. Construction runs from about a week for focused projects to several weeks for complete transformations. You get a schedule before we break ground, and we keep you updated daily.
Do you handle permits and utility locates?
Yes. Utility locates happen before any digging, and if an element of your design needs a permit or engineered drawings — like some retaining walls — we manage that process as part of the project.
