Many people feel that their dream garden is beyond reach, however with a well thought out design, your dreams can become a reality.

Step by step, we will design a master plan with you, tailored to your budget, carried out over a summer, or even a few years ... and before you know it ... you are enjoying your dream come true in a beautiful garden.
The following pictures and links will illustrate some of the extensive landscapes that have been completed by Natural Elements.

Ranging from simple structures, decks and fencing to complex designs with water features that enhance the gardens and pathways, to a variety of plants, trees, shrubs and stones which add to the overall beauty of the work. Now, with the added capability of Bobcat services, larger and even more comprehensive projects will be undertaken.

Design Imaging

There is no need to try and visualize an idea. Our 3D design software will allow you the customer to see a very clear image of the proposed design.

Interlocking Stone

Hess Project

Plenty of stone mulch makes for no grass cutting and the Cedar decks go across the back from one end to the other with planter boxes to create lots of room for entertaining and hot-tubbing.

Bryant Project

The flagstone patio with oversize steps adds a unique style to an otherwise plain back yard.

Meyers

Courtyard front entry Japanese style with Mica drilled water feature over the river. 
A bridge and black Chinese slate walkway lead you to the front door and through the courtyard.



What a difference! Here Ron designed and built a new look for this front yard,
by cutting the driveway to accomodate a soldier course down either side,
and creating a semi circle at the top of the driveway in Brussells Block.

The front steps are dressed with flag stone and the raised planting beds
were done with limestone walling stone.

To top it off, the plants are simple but elegant and finally,
the uplighting Ron installed gives a subtle and dramatic effect in the evening.


This flag stone walkway takes you from the front yard
down both sides of the house and around to the deck in the back yard.


This beautiful screen Ron designed for privacy from the neighbor's yard.
It works double duty as a lovely backdrop for the plantings.

If you look closely, there's a mirror in the centre of the screen.


Off the deck, we installed a small pond and waterfalls,
which is just enough of a water feature in this garden.


Ron created all this useable space for this homeowner, on the lake where there was none.

From the upper terrace, there is a river course that meanders down one side of the granite staircase, to the random flagstone patio.   If you look closely ...

Gardens

Japanese gardens are designed to soothe rather than stimulate, the senses.  They rely on the use of evergreen plant material, and unlike other gardens, they can be put in small spaces. Typically, this type of garden is low maintaince. A Japanese gardens are about form and texture.

Stonework, Pathways, Walkways, Patios

To add a sense of timelessness to the garden, allow moss to grow on garden rocks and ornaments.   The proper choice of trees and shrubs is often used to further this effect, their gnarled limbs creating a sense of antiquity and flow.   The stone walkways lead you through the wonderland.

Water Features

The Pond and waterfalls at the edge of the teahouse, is as low-maintenance as possible.  The Western style Teahouse is made of cedar, and a new product on the walls, which gives it granite like finish. Thatch on the Roof is from South Africa.  Tis a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the fish.


Poolscapes

A pool is just a pool.  But If you are interested in creating your own personal oasis, take a look at some of the Pool-Scaping Ron has created....

From a "Muskoka Look", of natural oversized flagstone with large boulders, used in conjunction with interlocking paving stones to create interest and texture....

or perhaps a Cabana with a change room and outdoor kitchen.

For a more formal look, concrete and stone pavers were used, along with pillars and a shade pergola.  Because Ron is a hands on contractor, he will only take on as many jobs as can be completed in a season, so you can be assured he will create your own custom paradise, done to high standards and in a timely manner.

Decks, Fencing

Ron was asked to create something different out of cedar. Here he designed and built these curved railings, following the curves is a bench and planter surrounding the cement stamped patio.

Structures

Screens, Pergolas, Gazebos, Tea Houses and much more ....

A Zen-like tranquility garden, with waterfalls, pond and stream. Ron turned this former driveway into an Oasis.  His clients love to view the Japanese Tea house, and Koi Pond (complete with fish) and meandering stream, or wander through it on the flagstone walkways.  The many unusual trees and rare planting material make it a pleasure to enjoy.
