The Perfect Backyard Retreat: Bringing this National Award-Winning Design to Life
In the heart of Toronto’s Lawrence Park, JHDG transformed an underutilized, sloped backyard into a serene, national and provincial award-winning urban spa retreat. Collaborating with Lake Ridge Landscaping, the project overcame challenges like preserving a protected oak tree and maintaining the home’s historic charm while incorporating modern features like a plunge pool and pergola. The result? A perfect balance of tradition and modernity, honored with the prestigious 2024 CNLA Circle of Excellence Award for Best Landscape Design as well as the Landscape Ontario Neil Vanderkruk Award for Design Excellence in 2023.
