Full Service Country Estate Landscaping – from concept to creation!

The gardens we design and install are European in sensibility and North American in practicality. They are plant centred and hand crafted. We use natural materials; stone for patios and dry laid walls; cedar rounds and willow for structures. They are definitely ‘country’ but sophisticated in design and choice of plants.

Landscape Design, Build, Maintain

We do every kind of garden: herbaceous, kitchen, woodland, rock and bog, and specialize in water features and swimming ponds. Our gardens meet all practical needs for traffic, seating, outdoor food and kid's activities, while refreshing, renewing and delighting the senses.
Come to Eden!

Professional, Experienced Crews

Our maintenance crews are acknowledged as the best in the area. Your garden is a big investment. Let us look after it for you and see that it lasts and thrives.

The Nursery and Gardens at Kingfisher Cottage

Set in scenic Hockley Valley, minutes from Orangeville, & an hour’s drive from the GTA, Guelph, Barrie & Collingwood, landscape designer David Warburton has created an enchanting & unique cottage garden. Created to set off his story book straw-bale & Adirondack cottage, the show gardens reflect his passion for plants of every description but especially the unusual & hard to find. The gardens were also designed as teaching tools to provide visitors with a menu of plants to suit every condition: sun, shade & bog, which they can then apply to conditions in their own gardens.  Adirondack elements: bridges, gates, a pergola & a lean-to, both beautify the garden & suggest to visitors how they might use similar structures. The water element: a stream, a pond, a bog heavily planted with marginal plants & the Nottawasaga River completes the delightful picture.
