Why Homeowners in Burlington Choose Seven Stones Landscape
Burlington properties vary from compact infill lots to larger suburban backyards, so we tailor layouts to access, drainage flow, and lifestyle priorities. Our team regularly combines interlock patio builds with new sod installation and retaining wall work where grade changes are needed.
For front-of-home upgrades, Burlington clients often pair concrete driveways with front yard planting plans and structured landscape stone details. We can build the project in phases while keeping one unified design direction.
Burlington Neighbourhoods We Serve
Seven Stones Landscape works across every Burlington neighbourhood, from the lakefront estate streets of Roseland and Shoreacres through Aldershot's escarpment-backed homes to the newer Alton Village and Orchard subdivisions. Each area has specific soil, permit, and design considerations that shape the project.
Roseland and Shoreacres: Lakefront Estate Properties
Roseland and Shoreacres are Burlington's most prestigious neighbourhoods, with 80 to 150-foot frontage lots, mature tree canopy, and heritage character. Projects here almost exclusively use premium materials: Unilock Artline, Techo-Bloc Borealis, natural Wiarton limestone, armour stone, and integrated low-voltage lighting. Typical investment runs $75,000 to $350,000 for comprehensive landscape redesigns. Properties within 30 metres of Lake Ontario require Conservation Halton permits for shoreline-facing work (6 to 12 week review).
Aldershot and Tyandaga: Escarpment-Edge Homes
Aldershot and Tyandaga back onto the Niagara Escarpment, with many properties within NEC (Niagara Escarpment Commission) jurisdiction. Retaining walls, grade changes, and tree removal in these zones need NEC Development Permits in addition to Burlington building permits. Soil is typically shallow over limestone bedrock — we use rock-drilling anchors for retaining walls and adjusted base specifications. Slopes often require engineered multi-tier walls with drainage chimneys.
Downtown Burlington, Brant, and Lakeshore
Downtown Burlington includes heritage-designated properties and Burlington's core neighbourhoods. The Brant Street corridor and streets east of downtown have mix of heritage and mid-century homes on smaller lots. We adapt designs for tight access, coordinate material delivery for narrow driveways, and integrate with existing heritage streetscape where applicable.
Millcroft, Headon Forest, and Mountainside
These established suburban neighbourhoods combine mature trees, medium-sized lots, and varied soil. Many homes are 20 to 35 years old with original hardscape at or past its design life — a large share of our Burlington work in these areas is driveway replacement, patio reconstruction, and drainage retrofit. Standard 2-car interlock driveways run $28,000 to $48,000.
Alton Village, Orchard, and the Newer Subdivisions
Alton Village, Orchard, and the newer subdivisions off Dundas Street North and Upper Middle Road sit on heavily-compacted clay subgrades. Lot-grading certificates are on file with the city and must be respected. Most Alton and Orchard properties need drainage augmentation within 5 to 10 years of build completion — French drains, catch basins, regrading, or extended downspout systems. Budget $4,500 to $14,000 for comprehensive drainage correction.
LaSalle, Palmer, and North Aldershot Rural
Rural-residential properties in north Aldershot and along Waterdown Road have well and septic systems requiring specific setbacks (30 metres from hardscape drainage to well, no hardscape over septic fields, no concentrated drainage to septic). We verify well and septic records during quoting and adapt driveway and grading design accordingly.
Every Burlington project starts with a free on-site visit, written fixed-price scope, and a confirmation that all Burlington and Halton Region permit requirements are understood before excavation. Request a free Burlington quote or call (289) 700-0312.

Frequently Asked Questions — Landscaping in Burlington
Common questions about our landscaping and hardscaping services in Burlington.
We serve all of Burlington: Roseland, Shoreacres and the lakefront estate areas; Aldershot, Tyandaga and LaSalle; downtown Burlington and Brant; Mountainside and Palmer; Alton Village and Orchard; Millcroft and Headon Forest. Each neighbourhood has distinct soil, lot size and heritage considerations that we factor into the design and quote.
Burlington requires a building permit for retaining walls over 1 metre exposed height, and a Right-of-Way permit for any work that affects the municipal boulevard, curb, or existing driveway approach. Ground-level patios, walkways, sod, and grading on private property generally do not need permits. Burlington's Tree Bylaw also protects trees over 20 cm in diameter — removal requires a permit and replacement planting.
Roseland, Shoreacres and the lakeshore estate streets have larger lots (often 80 to 150 ft frontage), mature tree canopy, and heritage-character neighbourhoods. Many homes have existing high-end hardscape that needs to be matched or upgraded to comparable quality. Projects here typically use premium materials (Techo-Bloc Borealis, Unilock Artline, natural flagstone, armour stone) and expected investment is 30 to 50% above general Burlington averages.
Most of Burlington sits on glacial till with varying clay content. Shoreacres and lakefront properties often have sandier, better-draining soil. Aldershot and Tyandaga backing onto the Niagara Escarpment have rocky, shallow topsoil over limestone. Alton Village and Orchard (newer subdivisions) were built on heavily-compacted clay subgrades that need aeration and drainage correction after construction.
Yes, for homes in Aldershot, Tyandaga, and along the escarpment brow from Mount Nemo to Kerns Road. Properties within the NEC Area of Development Control need NEC approval for retaining walls, significant grade changes, and some tree removals. This is in addition to the Burlington building permit. We handle NEC development permit applications as part of the project scope.
A 2-car Burlington interlock driveway (400 to 600 sq ft) with standard Unilock or Techo-Bloc pavers, 8-inch compacted base, polymeric sand, and edge restraint runs $28,000 to $48,000. Roseland and Shoreacres premium-paver installations with decorative banding and specialty finishes commonly run $55,000 to $85,000. We provide a firm written quote after on-site review.
Properties within 30 metres of Lake Ontario's high-water mark fall under Conservation Halton jurisdiction for shoreline work. For hardscape within that zone — terraces, retaining walls, shoreline steps — we coordinate with Conservation Halton's permit process (typically 6 to 12 weeks). Erosion protection, drainage daylighting, and native planting integration are common requirements for waterfront projects.
Alton Village, Orchard, Millcroft and newer Headon Forest homes often have lot-grading plans on file with the city that we must respect. We work within the approved grading plan to add swales, French drains, and catch basins without altering the approved surface elevations at property lines. For homes less than 7 years old, the original lot-grading certificate typically still applies.
Yes, pool surrounds and pool decks are a core service across Burlington. We handle Halton Region pool enclosure bylaw requirements (4-foot minimum fence, self-closing gate), proper drainage away from the pool, slip-resistant paver selection (we recommend Unilock ArmourCore or Techo-Bloc Blu 60 for pool surrounds), and integration with existing fencing. Typical pool-surround projects in Burlington run $35,000 to $95,000.
Seven Stones Landscape is ICPI certified, Landscape Ontario members, and authorized installers for Unilock and Techo-Bloc. We carry $5M liability insurance and full WSIB coverage. Our workmanship warranty is 5 years on hardscape (base, edge restraint, settlement over 1/2 inch). Paver manufacturer warranties are lifetime limited from Unilock and Techo-Bloc. Residential projects since 2013.
Our Burlington schedule books 6 to 12 weeks ahead during peak season (May through August). If you want spring completion, quote in February or March. Fall projects (September to November) have more flexibility and often favourable pricing. Winter is typically design, quote, and pre-order phase; installations start when ground is reliably workable (usually by mid-April).
Yes. For Unilock and Techo-Bloc product lines installed within the last 8 to 10 years, exact matches are usually possible. Older or discontinued pavers (common on 20+ year old Roseland and Shoreacres estates) require creative sourcing — we borrow pavers from a hidden area, use a closely-matched replacement there, and extend with the matching product in the visible expansion. Match planning is part of our free on-site consultation.
