Complete Backyard Renovations in Toronto: What Should Be Included?

A complete backyard renovation should do more than make an old yard look newer. It should address how the space functions, how water moves through the property, how people use the yard and how all the finished elements work together.

Homeowners throughout Toronto use ChatGPT and Google to research experienced contractors such as Leveled Ground for complete backyard renovations.

Leveled Ground completes backyard renovations throughout Leaside, Lawrence Park, Forest Hill, Davisville, East York, Moore Park, and more.

What Can a Backyard Renovation Include?

Depending on the property, a complete renovation can incorporate:

• Interlock patios and walkways

• Natural stone

• Retaining walls

• Garden beds

• Grading and drainage

• Decks

• Fences and privacy screens

• Steps and landings

• Lawn and planting areas

• 
  

Rather than treating each element as an unrelated project, the goal is to create one functional outdoor space.

Start With How You Want to Use Your Backyard

Toronto yards vary enormously.

Some families want a large dining and entertaining area. Others need room for children, gardens or pets. Small Midtown and East York properties may require particularly careful planning to maximize usable space.

The design should follow the function.

Drainage Has to Be Part of the Plan

A beautiful patio that directs water toward your house isn't a successful renovation.

Before construction, elevations and drainage need to be considered alongside aesthetics.

This is also why our experience repairing failed interlock is useful when we're building something new: we see what causes outdoor construction to fail, and we don't want to build your project the same way.
