Gardens galore! That’s what the client wanted, in order to soften the hard lines of the garage and the house—and she wanted a walkway, too. Prior to hiring All Pro Landscaping, the family used to walk through the garage or on the lawn to get to the front door. For this aging home in the Toronto East – Scarborough neighbourhood of Midland Park, this landscape design gave it a fresh new look, taking it from a few concrete patio slabs and no step at the front entrance, to a meandering walkway and miniature courtyard between the garage and the house; and, of course, the garden beds. A few years later, All Pro Landscaping continued the project to the side of the house and into the back yard.
