Landscape Design in Winnipeg
Comprehensive landscape design that brings clarity, flow, and long-term vision to complex outdoor projects.
Classic Landscapes designs landscapes for homes across Winnipeg and nearby communities, from a single backyard to a full front and back master plan. Every design includes 3D renderings, so you can see your yard before construction starts, and our own crews build what you approve.

Designing and building since 2009
Our Approach
Good landscape design starts with how you want to use your yard. We walk the property with you, noting sun exposure, drainage, existing trees, and where water sits after the Winnipeg spring melt, then build a plan around the way you live. You see the result in 3D before anything is built, with day and night views, so changes happen on screen instead of on site. Plans cover grading, materials, and planting, and can be split into phases so a bigger vision fits your budget over several seasons. Every plan is written for our own crews, so what you approve is what gets built.

Discovery call
We start with a call to talk through your goals, how you want to use the space, your timeline, and a working budget.
Site visit
We walk the property with you and note sun exposure, existing trees, access for equipment, and where water collects after the spring melt.
Revisions
You review the design and we adjust layouts, materials, and features on screen, where changes are quick and inexpensive.
Final plan
You receive the finished design with grading, a material and planting list, and a phased roadmap if the project will be built over more than one season.

Designed for Winnipeg Yards
Clay
Most of Winnipeg sits on heavy Red River clay. It holds water, swells when wet, and shrinks as it dries, so grading and drainage are planned first in every design. Getting water to move away from the house and hardscaping is what keeps patios level and walls straight for years.
Frost
Our winters shape the plan too. Deep frost and repeated freeze and thaw cycles affect how bases are built, which materials hold up, and which plants survive. We choose materials and plants that are proven in Manitoba, not just ones that look good in a catalogue.
Timing
The build season is short, so timing matters. Designing in the fall or winter means your plan is finished and ready to schedule when the ground thaws in spring. If any part of your project needs city approval or engineering, such as a tall retaining wall or a structure near a property line, we flag it during design.
What Landscape Design Costs
$500–$3,000+
Typical design fees
Design fees typically range from $500 to $3,000+ depending on the size of the property and the level of detail. A concept plan for a small yard sits at the lower end, while a full master plan with 3D renderings, grading, and a phased build roadmap sits at the higher end.
Design fees are credited back when you build with us, so the plan becomes part of your project rather than an extra cost.
