Wood Decks
We design and build beautiful custom wood decks

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!

Impeccable work done in restoring our garden! Great team! Very hardworking and professional! Will definitely call Sean & team for future landscaping work!

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. We would highly recommend Square Leaf Landscaping and Design for any drainage solutions.

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.

Sean was very attentive to the things we wanted to do with our property, and delivered quality results. We love our new front and back yards now.

We had gotten several quotes. Though Sean’s quote wasn’t the cheapest, however, it addressed what we wanted in terms of drainage and function. Our back patio is simply gorgeous now and the quality of the work is evident. The work completed by Sean and his team exceeded our expectations. Communication was fantastic. I would not hesitate to recommend Square Leaf!

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!

Sean and his team did a fantastic job grading your property. He was quick to respond to any questions and left the property very clean when the work was complete.

Square Leaf Landscaping and Design provided excellent service from start to finish. Their communication was clear and timely, and the team was professional and friendly. The quality of their work was excellent, and we’re thrilled with the results. Highly recommend!

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.

Our small front lawn was a disaster. We found Sean and after reviewing what we wanted we hired him to do the job. Sean is personable and professional. He and his team did an excellent job. They were fast and cleaned up after they were finished. Top quality work! We are very pleased with the result.

Sean and his team of fellas were very professional and genuinely caring. The price was right and the work was fantastic! Would I recommend? 1,000%

Sean and his crew did an amazing job cleaning, trimming and edging my lawn and gardens. They also powerwashed my driveway and decking. The pricing was very reasonable and the entire team was friendly, efficient and and knowledgeable. Everything looks great. Thanks Sean!

I am so pleased with work done at my home by Sean and crew. They were on time and left my home clean and tidy. Sean was a delight from his quote right to the end! I could not give them a higher review. They are the best!!!

Sean and his team were very helpful and assisted me in making a huge change in my yard. In two days they transformed my jungle into the space is deserves to be. They supported my schedule and worked with me on getting rid of extra items. Thank you guys for a top rate job.

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!

Best landscaping experience I have had. The crew built a 50+ foot retaining wall out of stone. Did not cut any corners, worked hard and cleaned up well after themselves. Went above and beyond what I expected. Highly recommend Square Leaf if you are in the Waterdown area!

It was a real pleasure to have Sean do our yard reno. Sean is an honest person and does good work. He listened to me, offered suggestions but never got pushy or tried to oversell. If I have further landscaping needs I will definitely call him.

We called Sean because our backyard was in need of a solution for drainage. He knew exactly what we needed and worked inside our budget. They worked hard and were very professional. We are happy with his work and will hire again. Thanks Sean!

Sean is very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions before the team began working on the backyard. Sean and his team are super hard working, professional, friendly and made sure we were comfortable with every step of the process! We had artificial turf, drainage features and a new walkway installed - everything looks AMAZING. This is some top quality work! We highly recommend Sean and his team & will definitely hire Square Leaf Landscaping again!

Took our old backyard and made it a place we actually want to be! We recently moved into a new home and the backyard was in desperate need of grading, new grass and a new shed and fence. Sean and his team made magic - the before and after speaks for itself. 10/10.

Sean and his team went over and beyond on our driveway. Turned it into a three car parking space with beautiful vehicle rated interlock. If you’re looking for professional landscape contracting, talk to Sean ! Thank you again !

Sean was quick to quote the trimming of a large hedge for us. He advised it would be a month or two out, but sqeezed us in earlier. They cleaned up all the debris and completed the job in 1 day. Based on this experience, I would have no problem recommending Square Leaf for this type of work.

We had sean and his team out last summer to do a small patio and some artificial turf in our backyard, and we are in love with our new outdoor space. Sean was easy to work with, made sure to take all our requests into consideration when planning out the job, and his team was friendly and tidy. Great experience with square leaf landscaping! If you’re thinking about it , go for it! You won’t regret it!

We had square leaf come out and help us with some backyard steps and walkway. They did a great job. Quick, clean, and attention to detail. I will be calling them again for future work

Sean & his team were fantastic. Professional and did a great job. Would definitely recommend!

Sean came out last summer to our place to put in an armour stone retaining wall. Him and his team were so great to work with. He walked us through the process and explained different options and designs, and made the whole experience easy. Would recommend for anyone looking to have landscaping done.

Sean installed a beautiful pergola in our backyard and it’s just what we wanted. Great experience overall.

Sean and his team were hired to redo our front yard. They redid our porch, put in a new driveway and walkway, and redid the sod. They did an AWESOME job. We will be having them out next summer to do the backyard.

We hired square leaf landscaping to do our backyard patio and pergola and we were not disappointed. They were professional, cleaned up every day, and the work is beautiful. I would highly recommend square leaf landscaping.

They did an amazing job making our front and backyard so beautiful. They were also very professional and worked in an organized manner. I would recommend them!

We were very satisfied with the work ethic, punctuality and outcome working with Square Leaf Landscaping. Sean redid a two level deck and with a louvered privacy screen. We were very pleased with the results. He communicates along the way with no surprises upon completion. Highly recommend Sean and his team for your landscape projects.

Sean was at my house today for a total yard cleanup. He was very professional and polite. He was a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend his company

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!!!

I needed a small project done and found Sean online. He responded quickly and was at my house the next day to discuss my options. He was easy to work with in coming up with a plan and was able to start in a timely manner. He got the job done in 2 days and I was very pleased with his work. I ended up with a small problem and he didn’t hesitate in working out a solution and came out that night to fix it. He was not the lowest price but the job was completed quickly, timely was done well, I was very pleased and would not hesitate in recommending Sean.

Sean and Omar are hardworking guys with a passion for building. I now have a 20 x 12 deck and pergola and it’s beautiful, strong and it’s exactly what I wanted. I’m getting them back in the spring for another job. That says it all.

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.

Sean was very responsive and professional throughout the whole process. He made honest recommendations based on our house layout and water drainage issues. Sean installed an excellent water drainage system along a narrow alley of the house. Would recommend their service.

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!

Sean and Omar completed a backyard project for me including Teco bloc stone patio, planted cedars, retaining wall, walkway and drainage. They transformed my backyard into an oasis! 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!

I got my interlock relaid and they did a great job. I highly recommend them! Sean and Omar are an excellent team. I will definitely hire them again.

I hired Square Leaf Landscaping to replace my existing sod in both front and back and to do an overhaul of our overgrown trees and bushes. Sean and Omar not only worked on the hottest days in September (33-34 degrees) to get this job completed for me but did so professionally and pleasantly. I am so happy with the work they did and would recommend them to anyone looking for landscapers.

When Sean came to look at our project and provide us with an estimate, he listened carefully to our vision for our back and front patio and offered ideas and suggestions without pressuring us. Throughout the job Sean and Omar were polite, professional, meticulous, tidy and hard working. The process was stress free and went smoothly. The end result is a spectacular small and cozy backyard and front patio that we will enjoy for years to come. Thank you Sean and Omar!

Wood Decks are an excellent way to keep a natural look and feel about your property. Most decks today are built out of wood because it’s affordable and easy for your builder to work with.
The most affordable and commonly used type of wood for decking would be pressure treated decking materials. However, wood can also be quite expensive if you’re wanting to build your deck out of popular redwood, cedar or the even more expensive Ipe. Natural decking materials however offer a certain richness, and feel that you can only get from using wood.
Materials We Use For Building Custom Decks
- Pressure Treated Wood Decking
- Western Red Cedar Decking
- Ipe Decking
- Kayu Decking
What’s The Difference In Decking Materials?
Pressure Treated Decking: It’s very resistant to rot and insects and it also withstands moisture very well, not to mention it’s readily available which also makes it affordable. Pressure treated wood doesn’t necessarily need to be painted if you like the dark brown, or dark green color variations that it comes in. Most pressure treated decking material is milled from southern yellow pine. Square Leaf Landscaping And Design can build you a deck out of pressure treated lumber throughout the Ontario area.
Redwood & Cedar Decking: If budget isn’t an issue and you want one of the more elegant looking materials for your deck then redwood or red cedar are great choices. Both of these western softwoods are highly sought after for their deep rich colors and natural beauty. Both of these species actually contain tannins and oils that help them naturally resist rot, decay and wood boring insects without having to be treated with chemicals. The crew at Square Leaf Landscaping And Design are the Ontario Cedar Decking experts!
Ipe Decking: Also known as Brazilian Walnut or Ironwood Ipe pronounced (Ee-pee) is beautiful looking exotic wood from South America. Ipe is naturally very resistant to rot, abrasion & weather which makes it a good canditate for a deck in our Ontario climate. Ipe’s great looks and performance don’t come without cost however as it’s more expensive than Cedar. Ipe is definitely not a budget deck material but we work with it enough that Square Leaf Landscaping And Design can provide you with an excellent looking Ipe Deck.
Composite Decking: A modern alternative to traditional wood decking, composite decking combines the beauty of natural wood with the durability and low maintenance of synthetic materials. Made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastics, composite decking is resistant to rot, fading, staining, and insects, making it an ideal choice for a long-lasting, beautiful deck with minimal upkeep. Available in a variety of colors and finishes, composite decking offers the aesthetic appeal of wood without the need for regular staining or sealing. Square Leaf Landscaping And Design offers expert composite deck installations, providing you with a sustainable, attractive outdoor living space in the Ontario area.

Simple Landscaping is a reliable and excellent company. Sean is very professional, skilled and communicative. Definitely will have Sean and his team work on projects.

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.

I love working with people that take their time to deliver unique work within a budget. Sean checked our space, gave us a plan and executed it in a day. No hassle. Will be reaching out to Square Leaf for bigger jobs in the future.
