FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Landscape design is the process of creating a personalized plan to help discover, enjoy and explore your outdoor living space. This can include designing ponds, waterfalls, pools, patios, carpentry, masonry, and planting arrangements. Connecting these creative elements  together in a thoughtful manner is the art of landscape design. 

A landscape designer can help you create a beautiful and functional outdoor space tailored to your personality, taste and lifestyle. They can also ensure that your landscape is sustainable and water certified with the use of native planting and best water management practices. Landscape designers offer valuable insight and experience in crafting bespoke outdoor living spaces with a very high degree of detail. 

At Pritty Landscapes, we offer a range of services including landscape and waterfront design, shoreline protection, and the creation of ponds,  waterfalls and streams. Our experienced project management works closely with our clients to design and build outdoor living spaces that embrace Georgian Bay and coastal living.

The length of the design process can vary depending on the complexity of the project and the specific needs of the client. Designs can typically take anywhere from 3-4 weeks upwards to several months based on the required detail and scope of work. Extensive projects requiring building permits, engineered drawings, the MNR and local conservation authorities will require more time.

The cost of landscape design can vary depending on the scope of the project and the specific services required. At Pritty Landscapes, we work with each of our clients to create a customized plan that meets their needs and budget. Variables such as technical requirements and specific job details, along with creative demands and your preferred presentation method will play a role in the cost of our design services.

At Pritty Landscapes, we are committed to using sustainable practices in all of our design and construction services. This includes methods such as using native plants and best water management practices to enhance the natural features of your landscape. 

To get started on your landscape design project, simply contact us to schedule a consultation. At the consultation, Tyler will get a chance to know you and your property as you discuss your vision, goals, and budget. At the end of this meeting you will be provided with an estimate for the design services required.

Shoreline protection is the process of enhancing the structural integrity of your waterfront to protect against erosion and other forms of damage caused by fluctuating water levels, high winds, boat traffic and winter ice. On large bodies of water such as Georgian Bay, this work typically includes the use of large boulders carefully placed along the waters edge to help stabilize the shoreline during wave uprush. As water levels continue to rise, shoreline protection remains the key to maintaining and preserving your waterfront real estate. 

Breakwalls and groynes are large rock structures built offshore into a body of water to protect breachfront real estate and water access points against significant wave uprush. Breakwalls are often used for marina and harbour inlets to provide a calm transition for boating traffic. Groynes are often used for preserving beachfront, where they extend into the water and often curl to protect against the prevailing wind direction. Breakwalls and groynes are typically built from water access using barges, platforms and tugboats. 

Have you ever heard the expression in life, nothing comes for free? The same applies to award winning design and build services. If we ran around offering free consultations, it would take away valuable time from our paying clients who deserve it most. Our personalized approach puts a valuable premium on Tyler’s time, requiring a small, location based consultation fee to start our initial design process.
