Transforming a Mississauga Property Through Professional Design Collaboration

When Oakly Landscaping approached Leo Landscape Studio for the design of a full-property renovation in Mississauga, they were looking for more than just drawings — they needed a design partner who could help them communicate their vision clearly, accelerate client approvals, and ensure a smooth construction process.

This project showcases how professional landscape design can dramatically enhance the efficiency, clarity, and success of a landscape construction company. It also highlights why many contractors across the GTA choose Leo Landscape Studio as their dedicated design partner.

Why Oakly Landscaping Chose Leo Landscape Studio

For construction companies, having professional design support can transform the way projects are sold and executed. Oakly brought us into this Mississauga renovation for three key reasons:

1. Clear visual communication
Our 2D and 3D visuals help contractors present ideas with confidence, reducing back-and-forth and speeding up approvals.

2. Eliminating guesswork during construction
Contractors receive build-ready drawings with accurate layouts, dimensions, materials, spacing, and installation notes — minimizing errors, delays, and costly site adjustments.

3. Knowledge of local materials, plants, and bylaws
Our team is trained in Ontario landscaping standards:

  • Unilock & Techo-Bloc product knowledge
  • NVK Nursery plant expertise
  • Grading, drainage, pool fencing, and municipal bylaws
  • This ensures designs are not only beautiful, but also practical and compliant.

Many contractors rely on us because they prefer a professional design partner over hiring a full-time in-house designer — gaining premium design quality at predictable, affordable cost.

How Leo Landscape Studio Helps Contractors Deliver Better Projects

Working with Leo Landscape Studio gives landscape companies a major competitive advantage. Our B2B design service includes:

• Professional 2D & 3D design presentations
• Material selection guidance based on availability & budget
• Planting design that fits Ontario’s climate and supplier stock
• Lighting plans that elevate nighttime aesthetics
• Clear communication tools for clients
• Build-ready dimension plans that eliminate confusion
• Fast turnarounds to align with contractor project timelines

This allows construction teams to focus on what they do best — building — while we handle the technical and creative planning.

The Mississauga Project – A Complete Transformation

The homeowners wanted a modern, cohesive outdoor space that better matched their home’s architectural character. The existing backyard felt disconnected and outdated, with uneven paving and limited usability.

Oakly Landscaping provided the construction expertise. Leo Landscape Studio provided the design vision, technical clarity, and full drawing package needed to bring the renovation together.

Our design included:
Hardscape Planning

• Reconfigured patio layout
• Defined dining, lounging, and circulation areas
• Modern material palette aligned with Oakly’s construction methods

Planting Design

• Layered composition for year-round color
• Low-maintenance selections suitable for Ontario climate
• Strategic placement to soften the new hardscapes

2D + 3D Renderings

Provided clarity for the homeowners and allowed Oakly to present a strong visual proposal — speeding up approvals dramatically.

A Streamlined Design Process Built for Contractors

Leo Landscape Studio has a mature, structured design workflow developed specifically for landscape construction companies:

  1. Contractor intake discussion
  2. Site photos, surveys, and measurements
  3. Two initial concept plans
  4. Material studies and product selection
  5. Refinements and revisions
  6. 3D model development (if requested)
  7. Final construction-ready drawings

Every step is designed to make the contractor’s job easier — with accurate, detailed drawings that can be handed directly to crews without translation or interpretation.

The Result: A Successful Project & a Strong B2B Partnership
