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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

I found Sean online and what a great find. My husband and I have had a couple of rough years with sickness so we let things go in our front and back yards. Boy did Sean deliver!! He did almost every inch of our property, kept it very tidy and left nothing undone. It was so great to find someone who takes such pride in his work and went above and beyond to make our property look good. We will definitely be having him back next year to do some other projects that we have neglected. Thanks Sean and team!!!

Sean, the owner and operator of Square Leaf Landscaping, was great to work with. We hired him to build a brand new fence around our backyard, including the removal of an old metal fence. I was able to easily book him to come and do a quote and he offered a very realistic and reasonable estimate on the fence we wanted built. During the lead up to the project, he was easy to contact by phone, text or email and was open to some small changes to the project that we wanted following our initial contract negotiation. During the actual fence building, he was punctual and hired a great crew. The quality of the work is extremely high, he was very communicative during the build about the timeline and our yard was always left clean and tidy each evening when the crew was done for the day. At the end of the job, he walked us through the work and we were extremely pleased with the quality of the fence he built. It was exactly what we wanted and what he said he would build. Our property was left very clean and we've received endless compliments on our fence! The price was exactly what we agreed upon and there were no unexpected surprises, in the cost or the build. I would absolutely hire Square Leaf Landscaping for future projects.

I was impressed by Sean's expertise, friendly manner and punctuality when he first came to my home to give me a quote, which was very reasonable. He and his right-hand man, Omar, were a pleasure to work with. They recently removed a fairly large worn-out garden at the side of my house and added mounds of fresh soil and a stone border around the perimeter. In the spring, they'll be planting new flowers and shrubs. They were professional, extremely hard working and enthusiastic. They also took good care of the property and cleaned up everything at the end of each day. Most impressive was the quality of the work, especially the way the stone was cut and installed. It showed true craftsmanship. I highly recommend Sean and his team!

These guys work hard! Professional and work long days. They pay attention to every detail. Sean was very easy to approach for small changes as project progressed. They have the skill and equipment to get the project completed. They had to work in a very tight space between homes to get to backyard with machines and did so without damaging anything. Contract was honored and quote was very fair. Many compliments from neighbors! Thanks again Sean and Omar!

Square Leaf Landscaping And Design is a landscaping contractor based out of Hamilton, Ontario and serving and the surrounding area. We specialize in providing our clients with beautiful 3D landscape designs and consulting services to help them improve the appearance of their property.  Whether you're wondering what to do with an area you've just cleared, how to landscape your new construction home, what to plant in your garden beds, how to implement a nice landscape on a sloped property, or you just want to redesign your entire front or backyard, we'd be happy to help.

Our Landscape Design Process

Designing a landscape that you can enjoy and be proud of is a complex and multi-step process.  Landscape design requires a great deal of thought and care to ensure that the end result will meet your needs and preferences. A well-designed landscape not only adds beauty and value to your property but also enhances its functionality and sustainability.

Here are some factors that we need to consider when designing your landscape:

#1.  Lay of the land: The topography of the land, including its slope, elevation, and drainage patterns, can have a significant impact on the design of a landscape. These factors can affect the placement of features such as patios, retaining walls, and water features.

#2.  Size of the area: The size of the area that is being designed will also affect the design. We must consider the amount of available space, and how best to use that space to create a cohesive and functional design.

#3.  Use of plants: Plants are an essential part of any landscape design, and the choice of plants must be carefully considered. We must consider factors such as the local climate, soil type, sun exposure, and plant growth characteristics. We must also consider your preferences and the purpose of the plants, whether they are for shade, privacy, or aesthetic appeal.

#4.  Growth at maturity: When selecting plants as part of your landscape design, we must consider how they will grow and how big they will be at maturity. Your landscape 2,3, or even 5 years down the road will change as your plants grow.  This is an important design detail we need to consider to ensure that the plants do not outgrow their designated spaces or become an obstacle for maintenance in the future.

#5.  Hardscaping: Hardscaping, which includes features such as patios, walkways, and retaining walls, can be an integral part of your landscape design. We must consider the function and aesthetics of these features and how they will fit into the overall design.

#6.  Softscaping:  Softscaping is all of the softer, natural elements of your landscape.  This could include lawn areas, garden beds, landscape beds, hedges, shrubs, and trees.  Do you want a landscape that is low maintenance?  Do you want a landscape that reduces watering requirements? Or how about natural habitat for local wildlife?  These are factors we need to consider with your landscape design.

#7:  Budget:  We know not everyone likes to talk about their budget for their landscaping but this is critical to getting a great design.  We don't want to provide you with ideas and concepts that are outside of your price range.  If we know and understand your budget we can ensure the options we provide are going to stay within your range.  We don't want to design a landscape that you cannot afford to build.

Step #1.  Consultation: We will meet with you on your property to discuss your needs, preferences, and budget.

Step #2.  Site analysis: We will conduct a thorough analysis of the site, including its topography, soil type, drainage, and sun exposure.

Step #3.  Design concept: We will create a preliminary 2D or 3D design concept, including the layout of features and the selection and layout of plants.

Step #4.  Design development: We will refine the design concept, taking into consideration any feedback you have.  We want to make sure you're 100% happy with the design before proceeding.

Step #5.  Final design: We will present you with the final design, including a detailed plant list and hardscape specifications which will include the specific types and styles of materials being used.

Step #6.  Installation: Once the design has been approved by you, we will then schedule and oversee the installation of your new landscape.
