Project description

When the owners of a $20M estate on Doulton Pl in Mississauga began preparing their property for their son’s wedding, they knew their landscape needed a transformation. Their existing outdoor spaces felt outdated and no longer matched the grandeur of their home’s Gracian palace–inspired architecture. Through one of our trusted contractor partners, they reached out to Leo Landscape Studio to refresh their estate with a design that was elegant enough for the event and timeless enough for years to come.

The Design Challenge

This project required striking a delicate balance. The outdated landscaping clashed with the property’s dramatic architectural presence, and the homeowners wanted a design that delivered quiet luxury without overpowering the home’s classical character. The timeline added pressure — everything needed to be designed and built in time for the wedding.

Our Design Approach

Over a three-week design process, Leo Landscape Studio produced a full 3D design package. The plan modernized the estate while respecting its Gracian influence. Key elements included:

  • Grand hardscapes: a new driveway, pathways, and patios framed in large-format Techo-Bloc slabs.

  • Custom paving patterns: subtle geometric designs that elevated visual interest without distracting from the architecture.

  • Structured planting: formal boxwood layouts paired with seasonal accents chosen for both immediate event impact and long-term balance.

  • Lighting design: carefully placed illumination to highlight both architecture and landscape features.

Construction & Materials

The build was executed by Inno Interlocking, one of our trusted partners, over an eight-week timeline with a budget exceeding $500,000. Premium materials were selected to reinforce the refined aesthetic:

  • Techo-Bloc Sleek (Caffè Crema) as the main hardscape finish

  • Techo-Bloc Westmount (Caffè Crema) for continuity and durability

  • Techo-Bloc Squadra for intricate custom patterns

  • Boxwood plantings for evergreen structure

  • Seasonal displays providing color and event-ready vibrance

The Results

The finished landscape captured the vision of quiet luxury. A sweeping driveway now welcomes guests with grandeur, while the intricate paving patterns deliver subtle distinction. Formal boxwood plantings reinforce the estate’s architecture, complemented by seasonal color for the wedding celebration. The homeowners were thrilled with a design that not only created a stunning backdrop for an important family milestone but also elevated the long-term value and elegance of their estate.
