Services

Four services that work together.

Excavation project in Halifax by Green Apple Landscaping Builders

01 / Excavation

Dig, grade, and prep the ground the right way.

Every good landscape and drainage project starts underground. We run a Kubota fleet to dig, grade, trench, and clear lots so the work that follows sits on solid, properly shaped ground. Whether you are prepping for a new lawn, a patio, a foundation, or fixing a yard that never drained right, we shape the site to plan and haul off what does not belong.

  • Site Excavation and Digging
  • Grading and Leveling
  • Trenching for Drainage and Utilities
  • Land and Lot Clearing
  • Foundation and Footing Prep
  • Material Hauling and Removal

Drainage project in Halifax by Green Apple Landscaping Builders

02 / Drainage

Move water away from where it does damage.

Standing water, a soggy lawn, or a wet basement almost always comes down to grade and drainage. We dig and install French drains, catch basins, and proper yard drainage, then regrade the surface so water runs where it should. The result is a dry foundation, a usable yard, and landscaping that lasts instead of washing out.

  • French Drain Installation
  • Yard and Surface Drainage
  • Foundation and Footing Drainage
  • Catch Basins and Drain Lines
  • Downspout and Sump Discharge
  • Regrading for Positive Drainage

Softscaping project in Halifax by Green Apple Landscaping Builders

03 / Softscaping

Lawns, beds, and planting that look the part.

Softscaping is the living side of your yard, and it only thrives when the groundwork is right. We strip, grade, and bring in proper topsoil, then install sod or hydroseed for a full lawn, shape and mulch flower beds, and plant trees and shrubs that suit the site. Done properly the first time, it greens in fast and stays that way.

  • Sod Installation
  • Hydroseeding and Seeding
  • Flower Bed Design and Edging
  • Mulch and Topsoil Installation
  • Tree and Shrub Planting
  • Lawn Grading and Repair

Hardscaping project in Halifax by Green Apple Landscaping Builders

04 / Hardscaping

Patios, walkways, walls, and steps that hold.

Hardscaping gives a yard its shape and its usable space. We build paver patios, walkways, steps, and retaining walls on a compacted, well drained base so nothing heaves or settles through a Nova Scotia winter. From a simple front walk to a full backyard patio with a fire pit and natural stone, the base work is where we earn the finish.

  • Paver Patios
  • Walkways and Garden Paths
  • Retaining and Garden Walls
  • Steps and Stairs
  • Fire Pits and Sitting Areas
  • Natural Stone and Flagstone
