Elora, Ontario

Intriguingly perched on top of a deep ravine, this newly built estate home property presented itself with many unique design opportunities. Taking into consideration the steep grade of the property as well as the client’s desire for a pool, deck, and safe visual access between the two, it was decided that a tiered landscape would be ideal.

A small pool surrounded by an upper and lower terrace was installed to accommodate the tiered design, along with several stone staircases, landings and direction changes to provide access to the pool from several different elevations. The multi-level deck continued this trend, with the section facing the pool being the lowest tier to allow for optimal visual access. Plant material that would thrive in the acidic and shaded property was chosen, further enhancing the varying elevations throughout the property.
