About UltraScape
UltraScape offers landscape design and construction for Markham homeowners, with plans tailored to the property’s specific conditions. Instead of applying a standard layout, we assess drainage, mature trees, grade, and neighbourhood character before selecting materials or finalising the design.
Our approach helps create outdoor spaces that handle wet springs, winter freeze-thaw cycles, and everyday Markham conditions while fitting naturally with the existing home and surroundings. We’re also just 24 minutes away, making it easy to get your project started.
A yard that grew one project at a time rarely holds together: a patio added here, a path patched there, nothing quite matching up. We start with the backyard landscape design Markham homeowners request as a single, coordinated plan, so grading, hardscape, and planting all work toward the same finished result.
A driveway or path that shifts every spring points to a base problem, not a material problem on its own. UltraScape installs the interlock landscaping Markham properties can count on, using premium stones, pavers, and bricks set on deep compacted bases built to resist seasonal ground movement year after year.
Shaded corners, busy households, and inconsistent watering routines can turn a lawn patchy fast, no matter how much effort is put in. Our artificial turf and synthetic grass installation gives you a consistently green surface set on a properly graded, drainage-ready base, so water still moves as it should.
An unused backyard is often just an unfinished one, waiting for a reason to spend time outside. Patio Design & Installation brings structure to entertaining spaces, dining areas, and quiet corners alike, with surfaces built on a solid base so the finished patio stays level through every freeze-and-thaw cycle.
A cracked, uneven driveway is the first impression a property makes, and rarely the right one to leave with visitors or buyers. We handle driveway paving and interlock installation with proper excavation and compaction at every stage, replacing surfaces that failed early with ones built to actually last.
A sloped or uneven lot limits how much of a yard you can actually use, and often sheds soil onto whatever sits below it. Our retaining wall landscape design service in Markham turns awkward grade changes into level terraces, planting beds, and seating areas, engineered to hold back soil and manage water pressure behind the wall.
A tired walkway or settled step quietly undercuts an otherwise well-kept home, long before a visitor reaches the door. Front Entrance Design & Installation rebuilds the approach with masonry steps and lighting-ready layouts, giving front-yard landscaping in Markham neighbours the polish it was always meant to have.
An uneven, heaving path is more than a cosmetic issue; it is a hazard waiting for the wrong step on a wet, icy morning. Flagstone & Interlock Walkway Installation replaces settled paths with natural stone or interlock set on a properly built base, keeping the surface level and safe year-round.
Worn precast steps or a stair run that shifts underfoot put people at real risk once the weather turns icy and stays that way for months. Outdoor Staircase Installation uses natural stone and durable interlocking materials engineered to withstand frost heave, so the entryway remains sound through every winter.
Grass that struggles no matter how much it is watered usually points to what is under it, not the seed being used. Fresh Sod Installation & Lawn Replacement corrects the grade, amends the soil, and lays sod that can actually root, replacing a patchy lawn with one that holds its colour through the season.

01
Every Markham project starts with a walk-through, not a phone estimate. We assess grade, drainage, mature trees, and any heritage or permit considerations on-site, so your quote reflects the actual property, not a generic square-footage rate applied everywhere.
02
Before pricing gets finalised, we sketch a plan that accounts for water flow, tree protection zones, and neighbourhood context. A landscape design with patio Markham homeowners request gets tested against real site constraints, not just a wish list.
03
Our crews build to the approved plan, starting with excavation and base preparation, since that stage decides whether hardscape holds up through freeze-thaw cycles. Materials go in sequence, with drainage checked at each phase rather than assumed at the end.
04
Every completed project is reviewed with you on-site before we call it finished, confirming that grading, drainage, and finish quality match what was approved. A 3-year workmanship warranty and lifetime materials warranty back the work from there, in writing.
Not sure which service your Markham property actually needs? Tell us what is going wrong- a sinking driveway, a wet backyard corner, a lawn that never quite fills in- and we will point you to the right fix before you commit to a full design or a fixed price.

Markham homeowners often deal with mature trees, compacted soil, drainage issues, and outdoor spaces that have been updated in stages over the years. A backyard may have an aging patio, an uneven walkway, a worn lawn, or a driveway that no longer fits the property. A complete landscape plan brings these elements together instead of treating each area as a separate project.
UltraScape designs and builds residential landscapes around how your family uses the property. From patios, interlocking walkways, and retaining walls to front entrances and fresh sod and artificial turf, each feature is planned around existing grades, drainage, trees, and available space. The result is a more functional outdoor area that feels connected to the home.
Commercial properties need outdoor spaces that look presentable while handling regular foot traffic, vehicle use, weather exposure, and ongoing maintenance demands. Retail locations, offices, restaurants, condominiums, and other Markham businesses can quickly lose curb appeal when walkways settle, entrances wear down, or surrounding landscaping becomes difficult to maintain.
Our commercial landscaping approach focuses on practical layouts, durable hardscape installation, proper drainage, and clean access around the property. We can coordinate interlocking walkways, entrance upgrades, retaining walls, sod, turf, and other landscape features into one organised plan, helping create a property that looks professional and functions reliably throughout the year.
Basement flooding and sewer capacity are documented concerns in parts of Markham, so backyard drainage landscaping Markham properties need is never an afterthought. We grade every project to move water away from foundations, not toward them, from the first sketch.
Markham requires a permit before injuring or removing certain private trees with a diameter above a set threshold. Landscaping around mature trees. Markham properties often feature mature trees, so we map root zones early, so your design never needs a mid-project redraw once digging starts.
Unionville and Markham Village carry heritage conservation district rules that can affect visible exterior changes. Heritage property landscaping Markham homes deserve gets screened for approval needs before materials are ever selected or ordered.
A 3-year workmanship warranty and lifetime materials warranty come standard on every project, backed by more than 25 years building outdoor spaces across the GTA. Experience only counts if it is backed by a written guarantee you can actually hold us to.
Hardscape that shifts every spring usually fails below the surface, not on top of it. We build every base to handle Markham’s freeze-thaw cycles, with proper excavation depth and compaction, so interlock, walkways, and steps hold their line through repeated winters.
Design, hardscape, retaining walls, entrances, sod, and turf are handled by a single team rather than several subcontractors. You get a single point of contact and one coordinated schedule, with every element planned to work with the rest of the property, not around it.

UltraScape is a landscaping company Markham, Ontario, homeowners rely on, covering landscaping near Highway 404 and routes near Highway 407, as well as landscape design near Highway 407 corridors across the city’s neighbourhoods and growth areas.
Markham is a diverse city in York Region with established neighbourhoods, newer communities, commercial districts, and a mix of older and modern properties. Areas such as Unionville, Markham Village, Cornell, Berczy Village, Wismer, and Box Grove feature different lot layouts, mature trees, drainage patterns, and outdoor space requirements.
The city also includes major local destinations such as Markham Civic Centre, Pacific Mall, Markham Main Street, Toogood Pond Park, and Milne Dam Conservation Park. These varied residential and commercial areas create different opportunities for landscape design, from backyard renovations and patios to driveways, walkways, retaining walls, and lawn improvements.
UltraScape provides landscaping and landscape design across Markham for residential and commercial properties. Our team plans outdoor spaces based on the property’s layout, grade, drainage, trees, and intended use, and manages construction from site preparation through final installation.
Often, yes, if a tree on-site meets the city’s size threshold. The question of whether a tree permit is needed for landscaping in Markham comes up on almost every project involving excavation near a mature tree, since Markham requires a permit before injuring or removing certain private trees above that threshold.
For pressing drainage issues, reach out, and we will assess the situation as promptly as scheduling allows, without guaranteeing a same-day visit. As an urgent backyard drainage contractor Markham homeowners can contact, we check grade, downspouts, and soil saturation first, since most pooling traces to one of those.
Yes, though response timing depends on scheduling and severity, and we do not promise a fixed arrival window for every case that comes in during the season. Retaining wall repair landscaping Markham urgent situations usually involve bulging or leaning sections, which we assess quickly to check for a safety concern.
Landscape design costs in Markham depend on lot size, drainage complexity, and whether trees or a heritage review factor into the plan and overall timeline. A landscape design with patio Markham project typically costs more than planting alone. A site visit gives you an accurate, no-obligation free quote.
It can contribute to a solution, though it rarely solves flooding on its own. Flood-aware landscaping Markham properties benefit from combined grading that moves water away from the foundation, swales or channels to redirect flow, and reduced impervious surface, working alongside the home’s existing drainage system.
Pooling usually means the surface no longer directs water to a proper exit point. Common causes include a low spot from settled soil, a driveway or patio sloped the wrong way, or compacted clay that does not absorb rainwater quickly enough. A grading assessment identifies which of these is happening on your property.
Sometimes, depending on location. Markham states that exterior property alterations in heritage conservation districts require Heritage Permit review, and Unionville and Markham Village both contain these districts. Visible front-yard changes warrant early screening before a design is finalised or approved.
Low-maintenance landscaping for Markham backyard projects typically combines artificial turf or drought-tolerant plantings with proper drainage and a reduced overall lawn area. The base work still matters, since a low-maintenance surface installed over poor drainage will still develop problems over time.
A thorough quote should include a site assessment noting the grade and drainage, any identified tree or heritage considerations, a materials breakdown, and a clear scope of work. If a quote skips the site visit entirely, it is worth asking how the pricing reflects your property’s actual condition.
