Landscape construction · Winnipeg · est. 1993
Terraces, walls, pools, kitchens, fire, lighting and planting installed as one connected project — by the crew that drew it, on a base engineered for Red River clay and a four-foot frost line.
A build is not a list of features bolted onto a yard. It is one construction project with a sequence — and the sequence is where most landscapes are won or lost.
Grades and water come first, then base, then structure, then the finishes people actually see. When one company owns all of it, nothing gets sequenced badly, no trade blames the last trade, and no detail gets dropped in a handoff. That is the whole argument for design-build, and in Winnipeg it matters more than most markets: our clay moves, our frost line sits about four feet down, and our build season is short enough that a wasted week costs a season.
We have been constructing landscapes here since 1993, certified by CMHA, Allan Block and Belgard, with MBNLA-judged award projects across the city. Everything below — hardscape, water, fire, light, planting, fencing — is installed by our own crews and, if you want, maintained by them afterwards.
The part you never see
A finished terrace is about 15% of the work. The other 85% is underneath it, and it is where a Winnipeg build either survives freeze-thaw or starts moving after the second winter.
We dig out to a depth sized for clay and frost, not to the shallowest number a quote can hide behind.
Granular base placed and compacted in measured lifts, tested for proper compaction before a single paver lands.
Water is routed away from the house and off finished surfaces — planned on the drawing, verified on site.
Kitchens, fireplaces, pergola posts and fence posts set below the frost line so they stay plumb.
Proper edge restraint and jointing keeps pavers tight instead of creeping outward season after season.
Pavers, wall systems, fixtures and plants specified for -40 °C and our freeze-thaw cycling — nothing rated for milder markets.
What we build
Most projects combine several of these. They are listed separately because that is how people search for them — not because we install them separately.
Paver terraces, walks and steps on a base sized for our frost depth — the surface that everything else in the yard connects to.
Explore patios
Allan Block and natural stone walls with the drainage and base prep behind them that keeps a wall from bulging.
Explore walls
Excavation, pool, and the terrace, planting and lighting around it delivered as one project — a finished backyard, not a pool in a work zone.
Explore pools
Kitchens, fireplaces and fire features with proper gas and electrical, on footings set below frost.
Explore kitchens
Ponds, fountains and waterfalls engineered to be drained and protected through freeze-up, and easy to live with in July.
Explore water
Low-voltage lighting for paths, steps, trees and features — the difference between a yard that ends at dusk and one that does not.
Explore lighting
Artificial turf and putting greens for shade, pets and grades where natural grass never wins.
Explore turf
Continuous decorative edging that holds mulch and stone where they belong and keeps its shape through freeze-thaw.
Explore curbing
Wood, vinyl, chain link and ornamental fencing, posts set below the frost line so the line stays straight.

Three stages on site, in this order. Skipping or reordering any of them is how landscapes fail.
Site protection, excavation, and the grading plan set out on the ground. Where water goes in a storm is decided here — not after the stone is down.
Walls, terraces, steps, pool shell, kitchen and fireplace footings. Everything structural goes in while the site is still a construction site, in one mobilisation.
Zone 3b planting, lighting, final grading and cleanup — then a walkthrough covering how the space works, what it needs, and what we look after if you want us to.

Word of mouth
“Lawn ‘N’ Order transformed our backyard into an amazing outdoor living space. Their attention to detail and professionalism is unmatched. Worth every penny!”
“The team designed and built our patio last summer. It survived the harsh winter perfectly. Their expertise in Manitoba’s climate really shows.”
“We’ve used them for 5 years for snow removal and lawn maintenance. Always reliable, always professional. Best landscaping company in Winnipeg!”
Build questions
Most residential patios take 3–5 days. Larger or more complex hardscape runs 1–2 weeks. A complete backyard transformation with pool, kitchen and planting is scheduled as a multi-week block inside one build season, and you get the sequence in writing before we start.
Earlier than most people expect. Build season runs roughly May to October and fills months ahead, so winter and early spring are when summer installs get confirmed. Projects designed over winter are the ones that break ground first.
No. Design, construction and ongoing care are three specialist teams inside one company. Your design is never subbed out, the handoff to the construction crew is managed in-house, and we’re still accountable for the work years later.
We double typical industry base depth because of Red River clay and a four-foot frost line, placed and compacted in lifts and tested for compaction before any stone is laid. It is the part of the quote you never see and the reason the surface is still level in a decade.
Yes. Our plans comply with Winnipeg’s Lot Grading Bylaw 7294/98, and we assist with permit applications where a project needs them.
It depends on scope — a single walkway and a full transformation are different orders of magnitude. The online calculator gives an instant range across 16 services, and we discuss anticipated investment openly at the consultation once the scope is clear.
