Cedarwood Avenue Toronto

A Backyard Facelift In Toronto

The previous owners of this property on Cedarwood Avenue in Toronto had done their landscaping to a very formal taste that was at odds with the new owners’ very contemporary tastes. They wished to completely transform their Toronto backyard to this aesthetic.

Traditional tumbled lock stone patio and pool deck were exchanged for large, square cut, black granite pavers.  A substantial outdoor pavilion, covering over 600 sq. ft. was constructed to shelter both a bar/kitchen area as well as a lounging area complete with television. Sleek, polished, ledgestone clads the walls and stainless steel fixtures and fans provide lighting. Even the furniture has been custom crafted with stainless steel. The deck surface on the floor of the pavilion is a maintenance free pvc material and an open, vaulted ceiling gives the space an even more expansive feel.

Traditional baluster rails on the existing elevated deck were replaced with aluminum and tempered glass.

A new fence was constructed of clear tongue and groove cedar with the boards oriented horizontally to match the horizontal installation of the ledgestone in the pavilion and a sunken basement walkout area’s poured concrete retaining walls were clad with the same ledgestone installed in the pavilion to tie the two areas together.

Plantings were kept very simple with the emphasis on cedar hedge walls for privacy… particularly around the pool. The colour scheme was essentially monochromatic green in order to lend a minimalist accent to the contemporary pavilion and granite surfaces.

Warm white, halogen landscape lighting was installed throughout.

We would like to thank you for the beautiful deck you have built. The name Paradise certainly describes the product you build. From start to finish we were completely impressed.

We were so excited when presented with the design but nothing speaks better than the finished product. It is a beautiful extension of our home. It is so custom, like a fine piece of furniture. So much care has been taken with the finishing touches.
