3D LandscapeDesign

A full 3D model of your property with an immersive walkthrough, dimensioned drawings you can build from, material and paver selections, a planting plan for the gardens and softscape, and notes on layout, levels and flow. You get revisions until the design is exactly right, and the finished package is detailed enough to price and construct without guesswork.

The design fee is scaled to the size and complexity of your property, so a front yard costs less to design than a full backyard with walls, a patio and gardens. We quote the design fee up front before any work starts, and the full amount is credited toward your project when Maxinity builds it. On a typical GTA build, the design effectively costs nothing.

Every quote includes a free 2D design. After the site visit we draw up your new space, layout, zones and flow, at no cost, so you can see the plan before deciding anything. Want to walk through it before it is built? Our 3D Landscape Design service models the full property in Unilock U-Vision with detailed drawings, materials and revisions, and the fee is credited toward your project when you build with us.

The free 2D design comes with every quote. It is an overhead plan that shows layout, zones and flow so you can picture the space and approve a direction. The 3D landscape design is the step up: your actual property modelled in three dimensions, walked through on screen at eye level, with real paver products, planting and material detail. Choose 2D to understand the layout, and 3D when you want to see the finished space before you commit to it.

We design in Unilock U-Vision, professional 3D landscape design software built around real Unilock and Permacon products. Because the model pulls from the actual paver, slab and wall catalogues, the colours, textures and formats you see on screen are the same ones we install on your property, not generic stand-ins.

Very. The model is built from real site measurements, photographs and elevations taken at your property, and it uses the manufacturers' actual products, so the proportions, sightlines and materials carry straight through to construction. What you approve in the 3D walkthrough is what gets built, at the fixed price we agreed.

Most designs run about two to four weeks from the on-site discovery meeting to the final package, depending on the size of the property and how many revisions you want. We give you a timeline at the start and keep the revision rounds moving so the design is ready when the build season is.

As many as it takes to get it right. Moving a patio edge, trying a different paver colour, raising a wall or reworking a planting bed all happen in the model, where changes are free. That is the entire point of designing first: you change your mind on screen instead of halfway through a build.

Yes. We design front yard and curb appeal projects, backyard patios and outdoor living spaces, pool surrounds, or the whole property as one plan. If you plan to build in phases, we design the full property first and stage it, so year two connects cleanly to year one instead of fighting it.

It has to. Grade, drainage and water management are worked out in the design phase, before anyone breaks ground: where water goes, where retaining walls or steps are needed to turn a slope into usable level space, and how the property ties back to the house and the street. Anything that needs engineering or a permit is flagged there too.

Yes. You paid for the design package and it is yours to keep, including the drawings and material selections. The design fee is credited only when Maxinity builds the project, which is how we keep the design honest rather than a sales tool.

Not much. A rough idea of how you want to use the space, any inspiration photos you have collected, a realistic budget range, and a property survey if you have one. We handle the measurements, photography and base plan at the discovery meeting, then take it from there.
