A Muskoka Family Retreat

For this project, we crafted custom stone stairs that gently lead from the house down to the water's edge. Each step is designed to make your journey feel seamless and connected to the landscape around you. Our interlocking stone pathways wind through the property, offering a beautiful and sturdy way to explore and enjoy every corner of your outdoor space.

As evening falls, our thoughtfully placed landscape lighting transforms the area. The soft glow highlights the natural beauty of the trees, plants, and stonework, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for nighttime gatherings. It's all about making the outdoors feel just as welcoming after the sun sets.

At the heart of this retreat is a fire pit surrounded by classic Adirondack chairs. It's a spot designed for togetherness—whether you're sharing stories, watching the sunset, or simply soaking in the fresh Muskoka air. We added vibrant plants and ornamental grasses to bring pops of color and texture, ensuring the space feels alive while still blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings.

This project captures everything we stand for at Forty-Five Scapes: creating outdoor spaces that feel personal, timeless, and connected to nature. It's not just landscaping to us—it's about crafting a place where your family can come together and truly enjoy all the outdoors has to offer. We poured our hearts into every detail so that this backyard isn't just a space but a cherished part of your home.
