The Project Story

“It had to be easy to maintain — but still look amazing from the street.”

— The Homeowners

Bold Geometry Meets Zero Maintenance in Deerpoint

When the homeowners of this Deerpoint property approached us, they had a clear priority: create a landscape that delivers maximum curb appeal with minimum upkeep. They wanted their property to stand out in the neighborhood — but they didn’t want to spend every weekend mowing, watering, and weeding. The result is this award-winning design that proves low-maintenance can absolutely be high-impact.

The Synthetic Turf Foundation

The centerpiece of this modern landscape is premium synthetic turf that stays lush and green 365 days a year. No mowing. No watering. No fertilizing. No brown patches from Winnipeg’s harsh winters or dry summers. The turf provides the perfect verdant backdrop for the geometric hardscape elements while eliminating virtually all traditional lawn maintenance.

Geometric Paver Design

What sets this project apart is the bold geometric paver pattern integrated throughout the turf. Clean-cut square pavers are arranged in a precise grid pattern, creating a contemporary aesthetic that’s equal parts art installation and functional landscape. This striking design element provides visual interest, defines pathways, and adds architectural structure to what could otherwise be a simple lawn replacement.

The Sport Court

For active family living, we incorporated a professional-grade sport court in the backyard. The vibrant blue surface provides a dedicated space for games and exercise, while the synthetic turf surround ensures the area stays clean and mud-free year-round. The court’s bold color adds a playful element that balances the sophisticated front yard design.

Concrete Curbing & Clean Edges

Crisp concrete curbing defines every edge of the landscape, creating the clean lines that give this property its polished, modern appearance. The curbing separates turf from decorative gravel areas, ensuring each material stays in its place while adding another layer of geometric precision to the design.

Drought-Resistant Plantings

Strategic plantings add life and softness to the geometric hardscape without adding maintenance burden. We selected drought-resistant varieties that thrive in Winnipeg’s climate with minimal intervention — no constant watering or fussy care required. These thoughtful green accents prove that low-maintenance doesn’t mean no plants.

Black Gravel Accents

Decorative black gravel creates contrast and visual depth throughout the design. These gravel beds require zero maintenance while adding texture and sophistication. The dark color provides a striking backdrop for the green turf and light-colored pavers.

Front & Back Cohesion

The design language flows seamlessly from front yard to backyard, creating a cohesive property-wide aesthetic. Whether viewed from the street or enjoyed in the private backyard, every angle delivers the same modern, polished impression.

The Ridge Project stands as proof that you don’t have to sacrifice style for practicality. Low-maintenance landscaping can be just as stunning — if not more so — than traditional approaches.

What the Client Said

“We used to spend every Saturday mowing and every evening watering. Now? We literally do nothing, and our yard looks better than it ever did. The neighbors constantly ask who did our landscaping — they can’t believe the turf isn’t real until they touch it. The geometric paver design gives our home so much curb appeal, and the sport court keeps the kids entertained for hours. The Lawn ‘N’ Order team delivered exactly what we asked for: a yard that looks incredible without the work. Best decision we ever made for our property.”
