Outdoor spaces, designed around how you live.
A boutique residential landscape design and build studio, based in the GTA.
Hi, we're Leo Landscape Studio.
We help homeowners turn broad ideas, complicated properties, and real-world budgets into personal landscapes. We take the time to understand how you live, what matters to you, and how you want your home to feel, then shape the landscape through thoughtful design and skilled construction.
Landscapes shaped by the way people live
A selection of residential projects designed around the home, the property, and the people who live there.
Backyard Transformation
A neglected backyard reimagined into a space for gathering, dining, and quiet mornings — built around the mature trees that were already there.
French Château Estate Landscape Design
A newly built estate home paired with a landscape that finally matches its architecture — refined, proportioned, and unmistakably personal.
Three Homes, Three Strategies
Three different North York homes, three different strategies for stronger curb appeal and a stronger arrival.
Backyard Transformation
A backyard that had been neglected for years is now the heart of the home — a place for gathering with friends, weekday dinners, and quiet mornings with coffee.
The design is organized around clear zones: a dining terrace, a lounge area, and a garden path that ties everything together. We kept the mature trees already on site, building the new layout around them rather than starting from a blank slate.

A newly built custom home came with a landscape plan that felt generic — disconnected from the quality of the architecture around it. The homeowners wanted something that felt both classic and current.
We rebuilt the entry sequence and reworked proportion across the property, bringing balance between the home, the driveway, and the garden. The result is a landscape that finally matches the calibre of the house it surrounds.

Three very different North York homes, facing the same goal through three very different approaches: stronger curb appeal, and a stronger sense of arrival.
One relies on a single focal feature. One lets the garden lead. One simply gives the landscape enough room to match the scale of the home.
Together, these three projects prove that the best answer depends on what a property actually needs.

Five-star reviews from our clients are the badge we wear.
Clarity from the beginning
We take the time to understand your property, priorities, and investment range before the design takes shape. You'll have a clear sense of what we're creating, where the budget is going, and how the project will come together.
Designed around you
We shape the design around how you live, your home, your site, and what matters most to you. Every idea is considered alongside budget, construction, and maintenance, so the landscape feels personal, distinctive, and realistic to build.
We handle the complicated parts
Permits, grading, budgets, scheduling, and construction can quickly become overwhelming. We manage the moving pieces to keep the project clear and organized, while guiding you through the decisions along the way.
Your design, delivered expertly
We build with trusted specialists who bring deep expertise to every part of the project. Their craftsmanship helps preserve the intent behind each design decision. Together, we deliver a finished landscape with the quality and character you envisioned.
Design with Intention, Built with Care.
We provide full-service residential landscape design and construction. We turn your ideas into a clear, buildable design, then carry that vision through construction with trusted specialists. You get a landscape that is thoughtfully planned, carefully built, and delivered with the same attention from start to finish.
Backyard Design & Build
We design backyards around the way you want to live outside — from long dinners and weekend gatherings to quiet mornings and time by the pool. Patios, decks, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, planting, lighting, and garden areas are considered as part of one complete landscape, so the space feels personal, comfortable, and beautifully put together.
Pool Design & Build
We design the pool as part of the whole backyard experience — how you arrive at it, relax around it, entertain, and move between the house and garden. Pool placement, grading, privacy, cabanas, water features, planting, lighting, and permit requirements are considered together so the finished space feels effortless, private, and fully integrated with the property.
Front Yard Design & Build
We create front yards to create a stronger sense of arrival, elevate curb appeal, and make the home feel more complete from the street. Driveways, walkways, entry gardens, house numbers, lighting, and planting are considered together so the landscape feels connected to the architecture and gives you a front entrance you're proud to come home to.
Garden Design & Build
We design gardens around the look you love, the way you want the space to feel, and how much care you want to give it over time. Planting, colour, texture, seasonality, and site conditions are considered together so the garden feels personal, layered, and enjoyable throughout the year.
Landscape Lighting Design & Build
We design landscape lighting to make the property feel just as considered after dark. Path lighting, architectural lighting, garden lighting, and feature lighting improve safety while adding depth, warmth, and atmosphere, so you can enjoy the landscape well into the evening.
A clear path from idea to completion
From the first conversation through design and construction, we guide the project with a clear process and thoughtful decisions.
Understand + Define
We get to know your property, your priorities, and your budget, then build the right strategy around what your site can support.
Design + Refine
We develop a complete design solution, then bring it to life through drawings and renderings — refining the details together.
Prepare + Deliver
We turn the design into a clear scope and price, then build with trusted specialists so the finished landscape matches your vision.
Where we work
Etobicoke
Established neighbourhoods with mature trees and character homes, where our projects often focus on backyard living space and thoughtful front yard curb appeal. We've spent years learning the older lots here — narrow side yards, mature root systems, and drainage that was never quite planned for modern use.
Oakville
Custom homes and established estates, where our work ranges from whole-property plans for new builds to renovating dated backyards around pools and mature landscaping. It's one of our favourite cities to work in — close enough to the city, but with a scale and character all its own.
Mississauga
Family homes where lighting, garden renewal, and estate-style landscape redesigns are common — often working alongside other contractors and firms on larger collaborations. We've built real partnerships here, keeping pricing sharp and communication smooth on shared projects.
North York
A wide range of lot sizes and architectural styles, where we've worked on everything from feng shui-inspired front yards to multi-project perennial garden strategies. Clients here often come to us comparing several homes at once, looking for a consistent design language that still feels personal to each property.
Hamilton
An expanding service area where we bring the same design-led, full-service approach — from initial consultation through to construction and final planting. As more homeowners here look to invest in their outdoor space, we're building the same trusted network of specialists we rely on across the GTA.
What our clients say
We don't write these words — our clients do. Every review below comes from someone we've had the privilege of designing for, in their own words, after the work was done. If you're weighing whether to reach out, we hope their experience gives you a clearer sense of what it's like to work with us.

We had the pleasure of working with Leo Landscape this summer on our long-awaited backyard update, and we couldn't be happier with the results!

Their deep knowledge and proactive communication keep our projects on track. If you want a team that gets results, look no further.
Our backyard was a challenging project — irregularly shaped, significantly sloped, and a difficult space to make safe for our children. After speaking with several designers and contractors, Spencer was the only one who truly found a way to meet our goals within our budget. The result is incredible. She carefully designed the grades of the deck and the raised patio to eliminate steps in most areas, creating a seamless, safe environment for our kids to play. By creatively combining warm-toned stone with natural wood, she stayed within our tight budget while making the hardscaping blend beautifully into the natural surroundings. Backyard projects are often expensive and complicated, but Spencer's thoughtful design solved all of our concerns. We now have a beautiful, functional outdoor living space for our growing family. We couldn't be happier with the outcome!
