Front & Backyard Makeover

A Full Front & Backyard Makeover In Hamilton, Ontario

Front & Backyard Makeover – Charles St., Hamilton, Ontario

For this Hamilton landscaping project, our client wanted to refresh their curb appeal, enhance their entryway and backyard seating area, and eliminate lawn maintenance issues caused by dog urine and shade. We designed and installed a new interlock walkway, patio, and artificial turf, creating a modern, functional, and low-maintenance outdoor space.

Project Highlights

Interlocking Walkway & Patio Installation - To enhance both the front entryway and backyard seating area, we installed:

    • Walkway & Patio: Techo-Bloc Blu 60 in Champlain Grey (Slate finish)
      This high-quality interlock paver offers a sleek, durable, and visually appealing finish, improving the property’s overall aesthetic.

Artificial Turf Installation for a Maintenance-Free Lawn - Since the client struggled with growing grass due to shade and pet damage, we installed Saratoga 60 artificial turf as a long-term, worry-free solution.

The process included:

    • Excavating both lawn areas 6 inches down
    • Compacting the sub-base for stability
    • Installing landscape fabric to prevent weeds and enhance base structure
    • Adding a base of compacted screenings, ensuring smooth grading and proper drainage
    • Securing the artificial turf with 12-inch nails along all edges for lasting durability

Why Saratoga 60 Turf? - This premium artificial turf was selected for its no-infill sand requirement and extra thatch, which provides:

    • Better drainage
    • A softer, more natural look
    • A cleaner, more cost-effective installation

The Final Result

The finished project provides a stylish and practical outdoor space, featuring a welcoming front entryway, a comfortable backyard seating area, and a lush green lawn—without the hassle of mowing or maintenance. The client now enjoys a fresh, modern landscape that’s both beautiful and functional.

I first reached out to Square Leaf Landscaping because of their wonderful reviews. My experience with Sean and his team was a pleasure from start to finish. My new replaced front lawn and the artificial turf in the backyard look great. I couldn’t be happier with the work they completed and the clean up afterwards. I would highly recommend this company in the future for any outside project needs you may have. Thanks again Sean. October 2025

Sean was quick to quote the trimming of a large hedge for us. He advised it would be a month or two out, but sqeezed us in earlier. They cleaned up all the debris and completed the job in 1 day. Based on this experience, I would have no problem recommending Square Leaf for this type of work.

Sean was the right choice. He came in at budget, and finished two days earlier than quoted. He and the team were at our house every day until the project was done. The project consisted of a new fence, and two layered deck to an above ground pool. He and the team were a welcomed sight every day. We have two dogs, and once the fence was done, Sean supported them with providing extra materials so they could walk across the deck boards prior to the deck being built. I would recommend them again and again, and want the best for them.

We had sean and his team out last summer to do a small patio and some artificial turf in our backyard, and we are in love with our new outdoor space. Sean was easy to work with, made sure to take all our requests into consideration when planning out the job, and his team was friendly and tidy. Great experience with square leaf landscaping! If you’re thinking about it , go for it! You won’t regret it!

Our neighbours had Square Leaf Landscaping Company come today to completely redo their frontage. The workers arrived promptly at 7:30 a.m. this morning and began the proceedings. Heat and air quality warnings were issued for the city by Environment Canada, mainly due to summer climate change and the wildfires burning in Northern Ontario. The men from this company set to work immediately and have worked there all day in these extremely difficult conditions. As I type, they are still there, finishing today’s business. They never once took a sustained break that we noticed. They worked diligently and very hard all of this stifling summer day. They used machines, but the noise was subdued and not bothersome; they made, of course, some dust and debris, but cleaned up as they worked. They demonstrated extreme professionalism and obvious dedication to the job at hand. We asked if they would remove a garden rock from our place that we wished to dispose of, as they had other rocks to deal with in the course of their landscaping. Sean, the owner, kindly agreed to do this. We consider this company the epitome of professionalism, dedication, courtesy and kindness. Wewould most definitely recommend them based on what we saw transpire today.
