Forest Hill Fine Homes has built a reputation for excellence in construction. We’ve been helping people in the Muskokas build their dream properties for over thirty years - and that includes landscaping.

Landscaping is both an incredibly important and incredibly overlooked part of building a home. It’s often considered a ‘finishing touch’ to a home when it should be a main priority - especially when it comes to your cottage property in the Muskokas. This is a region that’s all about enjoying the outdoors and spending time in nature, and your property should facilitate that.

Engaging a good landscaping company to help you with your property comes with a number of advantages. First and foremost, landscaping allows you to make good use of every square foot of your cottage property. Instead of unkempt grass you can enjoy stone patios, manicured gardens, and pathways leading down to the water. When the outside of your home is just as beautiful as the inside (and when you have fun features like an outdoor fireplace!), you’ll be far more likely to spend time outdoors and use it as an entertaining space for family and friends. 

If you choose to install pathways and patios throughout your property, you’ll also end up bringing in less dirt from the outside. It’s a subtle benefit, but nonetheless something you’ll enjoy. 

The last benefit is long-term in nature. A properly landscaped yard adds a lot of property value to your home. You’ll enjoy the curb appeal while you’re there, and prospective buyers will when they view your home. Though landscaping is largely cosmetic, it has a strong impact on the desirability of your Muskoka cottage property.

The services offered by landscaping companies nearby can be broken down into two general categories:

1. Softscapes refer to landscape designs using plants, shrubs, and flower beds, etc. 

2. Hardscapes refer to solid elements like stoneworks, patios, and interlocking driveways.

Between softscapes and hardscapes, you have a lot to consider when planning your own landscaping project. At Forest Hill Fine Homes, we’ll take you through all your options, including:

• Landscape design (softscape components)

• Retaining walls (we can make beautiful retaining walls using granite and stone)

• Sod installation (create a level surface that you can use for a variety of outdoor games and activities)

• Stonework (used for pathways, stairs, patios, driveways, and garden features)

• Fencing (if you want a little privacy, we offer plenty of fencing options)

• Pool decks (we can create a beautiful surround for people who prefer chlorinated waters)

• Fireplaces & fire pits (this is a sure way to make sure you spend plenty of time outdoors!)

• Outdoor kitchens (take things up a notch and impress your guests with an outdoor kitchen)

• Specific features like a golf putting green (we’ve installed this for clients in the past!)
