WHAT WE DO
Three ways we serve your landscape.
From first concept through decades of ongoing care — every engagement begins with your specific property, its ecology, and what you want to feel when you step outside.
Our Approach
Sustainable is beautiful.
We connect people to their natural environment, creating landscapes that enrich lives, elevate beauty, and leave every space better than we found it.
While many landscapers can build beautiful spaces, few approach design with a deep understanding of the land itself. We consider native plant systems, natural water flow, and the long-term health of the ecosystem to preserve and enhance what’s already there.
Our team brings together a Master’s-trained landscape architect, experienced horticulturalists rooted in this region, and skilled tradespeople who have spent their careers working this land.
Sustainability is built into every step, from site evaluation and plant selection to water management and environmental protection, resulting in landscapes that feel natural, enduring, and truly belong.
Native Plant Landscapes
Plants that evolved in Central Ontario, thrive in local soil and climate with minimal intervention, support pollinators, and connect your property to its natural heritage. Specified for your exact site, not selected from a standard list.
Rain Garden & Water Management
Capture, filter, and slowly release stormwater to protect lake health, reduce erosion, and meet waterfront regulations. Functional ecology that happens to look extraordinary.
Cottage & Waterfront Design
Setback regulations, shoreline buffers, dock surrounds, erosion control — we've worked on lakefront properties across Simcoe County and cottage country for decades.
Feature Projects. Lasting impact.
We've been shaping the landscapes and shorelines of Central Ontario and cottage country for nearly 70 years.
Our History
A family business
built on loving this land.
Parklane has been a family-run company since 1958, now made up of a team of skilled professionals who take pride in their craft.
Our work is guided by our values: Performance, Passion, People, and Planet. These principles show up in the details: the way we manage each site, the care we bring to every project, and the long-standing relationships we build with our clients.

Get Started
Let's talk about what's possible for your property.
Every landscape has its own water flow, light, and character. Our first conversation is about understanding yours, not selling you anything.
We discuss how you want to live in the space and how thoughtful design can bring it together; from patios and walkways to gardens, grading, drainage, lighting, shorelines and complete outdoor living environments.
Every element is considered as part of one cohesive design, built to function beautifully and last for years.
Our commitment: No pressure. No obligation. Just a thoughtful conversation about what makes sense for your property. We'll be in touch within 2 business days.
