Tackling a landscape design or retaining wall construction on your own can be overwhelming. It is no debate that it is a lot of work, so let Simcoe Contracting do the landscaping design and retaining wall construction for you.

There are many good design techniques such as working around a focal point. Many good landscape designs have a focal point or series of focal points, this is one of the easy principles that we will share with you as your experienced Barrie landscaping company. Maybe be a favourite tree, or a stunning plant, or a series of shrubs; we have many great ideas for your landscaping project. The idea is to draw your eye and move it through your landscaping creation. Another idea is to focus on scale and pacing. This gives your yard a coordinated look. We can use variations in colour, size and shape with tall plants behind a flowerbed or against a building, with paths that lead through the space. We can repeat some elements so there’s a sense of cohesion, but at the same time we may add the occasional element that’s different so as not to be monotonous. It is these subtleties of design that you can only get from Simcoe Contracting; your experienced Barrie landscape company
