Paver Patios
We install interlocking paver patios as the focal point of your outdoor space

Absolutely fabulous! Sean communicates beautifully and consistently. He is extremely fair and honest. Further, Sean and his crew are friendly, professional, punctual, reliable, tidy, tenacious, respectful and extremely hard working. They took down my old deck, built a beautiful new one, planted a massive row of cedars and put in some large flower beds. I would absolutely hire them again and strongly recommend this company to anyone. They are trustworthy and diligent; it is clear they really care. They went above and beyond! A+++++ Oh yeah - they loved my dog, too! 🙂

Sean and his team couldn't have been better! Great communication from start to finish. Timely, efficient and did an excellent job with our soak away. We will definitely be using them for future projects and 100% recommend them to everyone! Thank you!

We had an ancient set of stairs and a disaster of a back yard that was completely transformed by Sean and team! The work was done quickly (only two days!) and came in on budget. You can tell that the Square Leaf team puts a lot of pride into their work and it shines through with the results. Now we have the perfect patio to relax and entertain on. Thanks Sean!

Sean and his team did an amazing job replacing our backyard patio. He was very responsive, on time and he and his team left no mess behind. We are thrilled with his work and will definitely be using them again in the future. Highly recommend!

My backyard was a disaster! Sean and his team took care of that. It was a big job, and Sean was efficient and honest. In addition to being knowledgeable, Sean was also creative with his solutions, and he had a good eye for aesthetics and the final finished product. I would highly recommend Square Leaf.

Sean and his team just finished our backyard project. What an amazing job! The new fence and sod look fantastic. The team was clean, polite, professional and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Squareleaf Landscaping & Design!

Sean and his team were amazing, would hire them again without a doubt. The work was done quickly and to a very high level of quality, transforming our back yard from a sad dust bowl into an area we actually want to spend time in. They were extremely organized and kept the work areas neat. Sean was easy to communicate with and kept us in the loop on what was happening at all times. 10/10

Sean and his team completed my backyard hardscaping and fence addition to add more to our backyard space. He was able to fit us in ahead of schedule which allowed for more time to enjoy our refreshed backyard. The team was professional, punctual and even great with my kids who desperately wanted to watch them move gravel on their equipment. Sean spoke to my neighbours for me to explain that there would be some gravel in the street for a day or so but they would move as quick as possible to get it into the backyard. Which they did. Been a few months now of enjoying the new scenery and couldn't be happier. Thanks to Sean and the team at Square Leaf!

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.

Sean and his team did a fantastic job of transforming our backyard into a nice place we can now relax while the kids run around. They removed our old pink interlocking pavers from the 70s and put in modern large pavers and new stairs. They also built a little area in the corner for the kids to play with a privacy fence, a barn door gate to keep the kids away from the air conditioner and tools, put down new sod, straightened out our garden pavers, and built a new backyard entrance gate. From the first day he came to give us a quote all the way to the end of the project, Sean and his team were great. We would absolutely contact him for future landscaping work.

Sean and his team did an amazing job on our recent landscaping project. Sean is professional, easy to communicate with, and reliable. We had to adjust the start date slightly and he was extremely accommodating and understanding. Once the project started, Sean and his team arrived on time and worked quickly and efficiently, without compromising quality. I am still shocked that they completed the job so quickly and I think this is just a testament to their hard work and dedication. One thing that I really appreciated was that Sean was part of the process from start to finish and was on site for the entire project. It’s evident that he takes pride in his work. I couldn’t be happier with our experience and will confidently be recommending Sean and his team to friends and family members looking for landscaping services.

Sean was professional, technical, courteous, organized, and clean as he and his team constructed the solid-based, high quality 8ft high retaining wall stretching 40ft along the side of my property, built to hold back the tall steep hill behind it. I fully endorse Square Leaf and their excellent work!

Sean and his team installed a buried drain in my front yard. The work was completed in one day. They replaced the sod and cleaned up the property, so you can barely see that work was done. Highly recommend!

Sean and his team were fantastic. Sean listened to what we needed completed and gave us a fair quote. They stuck to their timeline and completed the work with care. They cleaned up the area and left the site tidy each day. We would not hesitate to use this service again.

I had a driveway in need of a channel drain and tie in to existing catch basin. Shawn and Colin finished the job on time and on budget. Shawn was a complete professional tgrough every step of the process, from quote to final inspection. They even went the extra mile to give the catch basin a facelift. My wife and i are beyond thrilled with the result. Would recommend Shawn and team to anyone and theyll be our first call for our landscaping needs in the future.

Sean and his team did an excellent job. They were professional, efficient, and had wonderful suggestions and solutions. My backyard looks great, and I’m thrilled with the results. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience with Square Leaf Landscaping and Design! Sean and his team completely transformed both our front and back yards. They removed the old lawn, regraded the area, and installed fresh new sod in the front, along with a new sprinkler system in collaboration with 8 Days Irrigation. They also redid all of our brick borders, which now look fantastic. In the backyard, they removed the old turf, regraded the space, and installed high-quality artificial turf along with a custom putting green — it looks incredible! Sean was great to work with — super organized, tidy, friendly, and communicated with us every step of the way. We’re thrilled with the results and highly recommend Square Leaf for any landscaping needs!

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.

Highly recommend Square Leaf. They worked efficiently (and through bad weather!). Our project was completed on time and on budget. We appreciated their thoughtful approach to design. We could not be happier with our new backyard.

Highly recommend! On time and on budget. Locally owned and superior results.

We had some work done in our backyard by Square Leaf Landscaping this Spring. The timing and quality of the work was completed exactly as discussed. Sean was very professional as well as easy to talk with. When the job was done he did a follow-up to make sure we were happy. We highly recommend the Square Leaf team for your next project.

Had four quotes for an all day job removing all the front lawn (1,000 sq feet) and though Square Leaf wasn’t the cheapest, Sean instilled a sense of trust and competence. Though the job ended up being a bit more difficult, the quote did not change. I was very happy with the result and will definitely reach out to Square Leaf for future work - many thanks Sean!

Sean did a great job re-grading our gravel drive to keep rainwater away from the basement. Good communication, and a fair price too.

We have nothing but good things to say about Sean and his team. The quality of the work was top notch and everything was finished on time and on budget. Sean is about as friendly and reliable as they come, and has an amazing eye for design. He helped update and transform our backyard into the oasis we always knew it could be. We will definitely be using Square Leaf again in the immediate future.

Sean and his crew transformed our backyard last year ( 2024 ). Their attention to detail and professionalism is second to none. We were thoroughly impressed with the outcome and will be hiring him this season to transform our front yard. I would strongly suggest Square Leaf Landscaping to anyone.

I had a fantastic experience working with Sean. From start to finish, he was kind, professional, and incredibly easy to talk to. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explain the process, and ensure I was comfortable with decisions along the way. It’s not easy to find a contractor who is both skilled and personable, but he exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free and positive experience!

Last summer our Condo Corp. was faced with a major water issue. On a recommendation, we contacted Square Leaf. They came, discussed the issue (a French Drain was required), and gave a start date. The work and workmanship was outstanding. Sean is a very knowledgeable individual and very hands on with the actual project. The work was completed beyond our expectations. One comment from his workers left a major impression on me. They said they "work WITH Sean, not FOR Sean". To me, that indicates a good leader who has created an excellent work environment. Each night, the job site was left neat and secure. When the job was totally completed, you would never know that heavy equipment, rocks, gravel etc. had been here. I guarantee that in the future, should we have any water issues that need to be addressed that we will use Square Leaf. Sean has my phone number and if you need any more information about their work, he has my permission to pass it on. Jim Craig President HCC 188

Sean is a master craftsman. I saw him and his crew working on a nearby house and liked what I saw. He rebuilt my front steps and levelled and re-sanded my driveway. He did a great job! I would recommend him to anyone.

Sean and his assistant, Colin, did an amazing job installing a flagstone walkway with stone flowerbed edging in our front yard. Sean listened carefully as we explained what we were looking for. He then recommended design options that met our needs. When we agreed on a path forward, he proceeded to get the job done in a very reasonable timeframe. Sean was respectful in answering any questions we had as the work progressed. When finished, everything was cleaned up nicely. With the added sod and grass seeding, the new features will blend in well with the existing front yard next spring. Thanks, Sean, for a job well done!

Impeccable work done in restoring our garden! Great team! Very hardworking and professional! Will definitely call Sean & team for future landscaping work!

Square Leaf Landscaping completed a patio in my backyard and they did an incredible job. They even took care of my grass because it looked a little unkept. The patio came out great and the grass looks the best it has ever looked before. Thanks Sean. I love my patio!

I have had Square Leaf do landscaping on a few properties now, and they do an exceptional job. Attention to detail and very good advice on how to maintain your property. I also may add they were the most cost effective option compared to other market quotes.

Sean was very professional and courteous, and kept a very neat workplace. He started and completed our job in the agreed upon timeframe. His keen attention to detail resulted in a job well done…all of our expectations for redirecting our drainage were met. We would highly recommend Square Leaf Landscaping and Design for any drainage solutions.

Sean and his crew did a remarkable job in installing artificial grass in less than 2 days to replace our grub infected front lawn. I found Sean to be a very professional, honest and up front guy who answered all the questions and concerns we had and the merits of installing artificial grass. He even suggested redesigning the border curbing that separated the natural grass from the shrubs and crushed red stone that were in place to reduce the square footage of artificial grass needed thereby reducing the overall cost of the installation. Sean and his crew were very neat and tidy cleaning up after every step of the installation. Sean went beyond what I had expected. I wouldn't hesitate to refer Sean to anyone requiring landscaping services.

Sean was very attentive to the things we wanted to do with our property, and delivered quality results. We love our new front and back yards now.

We had gotten several quotes. Though Sean’s quote wasn’t the cheapest, however, it addressed what we wanted in terms of drainage and function. Our back patio is simply gorgeous now and the quality of the work is evident. The work completed by Sean and his team exceeded our expectations. Communication was fantastic. I would not hesitate to recommend Square Leaf!

I Cannot say enough good things about Square Leaf landscaping. They did such a great job on our french drain I asked them to come back and fix the significant slope in my backyard. They were patient with me, explained the process, showed materials at different price points and worked creatively to stay within my budget while addressing the slope. The final outcome looks great. I highly recommend contacting them for any and all of your landscaping needs!

Sean and his team did a fantastic job grading your property. He was quick to respond to any questions and left the property very clean when the work was complete.

Square Leaf Landscaping and Design provided excellent service from start to finish. Their communication was clear and timely, and the team was professional and friendly. The quality of their work was excellent, and we’re thrilled with the results. Highly recommend!

My yard had a few pockets that didn't drain well with a lot of rain, half of it was covered in rubber mulch from when my kids had a trampoline, and the remaining sodded areas were patchy and never grew well. I had been looking into artificial turf for a couple of years - and never pulled the trigger until I had Sean from Square Leaf come and look at my yard. The consultation process was quick and easy and it felt like the pieces fell together perfectly to finally move forward with the project. Sean and team were friendly and professional and over 2 days, transformed my backyard into a usable and beautiful space that we are already spending a lot more time in. They worked hard, were efficient and cleaned up at the end of each day. My neighbour's were very complimentary of their work ethic and the finished product. We are very happy and would absolutely work with Square Leaf again.

Our small front lawn was a disaster. We found Sean and after reviewing what we wanted we hired him to do the job. Sean is personable and professional. He and his team did an excellent job. They were fast and cleaned up after they were finished. Top quality work! We are very pleased with the result.

Sean and his team of fellas were very professional and genuinely caring. The price was right and the work was fantastic! Would I recommend? 1,000%

Sean and his crew did an amazing job cleaning, trimming and edging my lawn and gardens. They also powerwashed my driveway and decking. The pricing was very reasonable and the entire team was friendly, efficient and and knowledgeable. Everything looks great. Thanks Sean!

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 and his team were very helpful and assisted me in making a huge change in my yard. In two days they transformed my jungle into the space is deserves to be. They supported my schedule and worked with me on getting rid of extra items. Thank you guys for a top rate job.

If you want your landscaping to be the envy of all your neighbours, you must hire Sean! We signed him up to do a much-needed front and back yard reno on a house we recently purchased. From the moment we met him at our initial consultation I knew I wanted to work with him. I had a clear idea in terms of design, but his input and honest feedback made for a collaborative process and an end result that was better than expected. He and his crew were on site for two weeks and proved themselves to be very hardworking, professional, and fun to have around. They were very friendly, considerate of our neighbours, and left everything completely spotless in the end. I highly recommend Square Leaf Landscaping for any projects. Thank you Sean for the AMAZING work!

Best landscaping experience I have had. The crew built a 50+ foot retaining wall out of stone. Did not cut any corners, worked hard and cleaned up well after themselves. Went above and beyond what I expected. Highly recommend Square Leaf if you are in the Waterdown area!

Ensuring Excellence in Paver Patio Installations
The Square Leaf Landscaping Approach to Paver Installation
At Square Leaf Landscaping, we understand that the foundation of a stunning, durable paver patio lies in the meticulous preparation. Poor groundwork can lead to disappointing outcomes, something we ensure never happens with our installations. Adhering strictly to the guidelines provided by some of the top manufacturers like Unilock and Permacon, we guarantee that your new paver landscape not only looks amazing, but stands the test of time and qualifies for the full manufacturer’s warranty.
Ground Preparation: The Square Leaf Methodology
Building the perfect paver patios, driveways, and walkways requires precision, patience, and sticking to a series of critical steps that distinguish our work from the rest.
Step 1: Layout and Design First, we accurately measure and delineate the area designated for your new paver patio. Using stakes and string lines, we outline the space's perimeter while employing spray paint or flags to mark any unique design features such as curves or corners.
Step 2: Clearing the Slate We then proceed to clear the area of any existing vegetation or debris, ensuring a clean base to start from. Following this, we excavate to a depth that accommodates your specific paver choice and the underlying base materials, which can vary based on the paver type and project requirements.
Step 3: Depth Precision The excavation depth is critical, tailored to the paver thickness and the desired level with adjacent surfaces. This includes room for the base material and any leveling agents, such as sand, to ensure a seamless finish.
Step 4: Base Material Application We lay down a foundation of crushed gravel followed by a layer of sand in the excavated area. The gravel layer establishes a firm base with adequate drainage, while the sand layer offers a smooth, adjustable surface for paver placement. Each layer is meticulously compacted to prevent future settling, using either hand tampers or mechanical tampers, as per our project's scope.
Step 5: Setting the Edges Installing edging is important to keep the pavers aligned and maintain the design's integrity. Depending on the specifications we might utilize metal or plastic edging secured along the paver area's perimeter, fixed in place with appropriate stakes or fasteners.
Step 6: Laying the Pavers Starting from a predefined corner, we methodically lay the pavers, adhering to your chosen pattern. A rubber mallet assists in accurately positioning each paver, while a level ensures all pieces align perfectly. Adjustments to the sand base are made as necessary to achieve a flawlessly level surface.
By dedicating ourselves to thorough site preparation, Square Leaf Landscaping promises a paver patio installation that not only meets but exceeds expectations, ensuring a beautiful and long-lasting addition to your outdoor space. Trust us to bring the expertise, precision, and care your project deserves.
