Hardscaping

We design and build beautiful low maintenance hardscapes

 Hardscape Design & Installation In Hamilton, Ontario
We offer professional and visually stunning hardscaping services

There are two main elements to a landscape and these are hardscaping and softscaping.  Hardscaping is all of the "hard" man-made elements that can make your landscape such as a driveway, a paver or natural stone patio, a walkway from your driveway to your front door, a retaining wall to hold back a slope, water features, and outdoor structures like decks, gazebos, and pergolas.

Softscaping would be your lawn area, all of your garden beds, hedges, and shrubs, and plantings. Hardscaped areas of your landscaping are usually more expensive and time consuming to complete because of the materials and labor involved but they also have much lower maintenance requirements as they are not "living" like your lawns or gardens.

Square Leaf Landscaping And Design is a landscaping contractor based out of Hamilton, Ontario.  We specialize in designing and building hardscapes for both residential and commercial properties of all sizes.

From a beautiful natural stone walkway that winds through your gardens, to a paver patio for your outdoor living area to a spectacular water fall feature and more, our team can build anything you want out of pavers, natural stone, or landscape block.

Hardscape Installation Services We Offer:

  • New driveway installations (brick, stone, gravel, or concrete)
  • Interlocking paver patios
  • Outdoor kitchens
  • Pool decks
  • Retaining wall construction
  • Gazebos and pergolas
  • Walkways and pathways
  • Water features
  • Drought tolerant landscapes

A well designed and constructed hardscape is an integral part of any landscape design.  Your hardscaping provides definition, separation, and organization to the natural areas and features of your landscape.  Hardscaping elements define how you use your new space, such as with a driveway that leads a visitor to your home, or a pathway that can lead visitors through different areas of your landscape or a patio area that allows you get more enjoyment out of your outdoor space.  There are so many ways to implement hardscapes into your landscape design.

Here's What They Say

Jamey Hanton

We called Sean because our backyard was in need of a solution for drainage. He knew exactly what we needed and worked inside our budget. They worked hard and were very professional. We are happy with his work and will hire again. Thanks Sean!

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

I am so pleased with work done at my home by Sean and crew. They were on time and left my home clean and tidy. Sean was a delight from his quote right to the end! I could not give them a higher review. They are the best!!!

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.
