Outdoor Living Design
Adding design elements that enhance the room like feel of your landscape is a great way to ensure enjoyment of your existing space outdoors. Adding elements that mimic interior environments such as walls, ceilings, lighting and flooring can not only ensure protection from the elements but also enjoyment at night.


Materials
The materials that you choose to create your outdoor room can greatly affect the feel and style of your space. Visiting manufacturer websites or our photo gallery is a great way to see different types of material applications and designs. Choosing the material for each component will ensure the longevity of your landscape and a consistent design.

Construction
Common paving for any outdoor space begins with a base of 3/4" Crusher Run or Granular A gravel. For a light duty application the interlock or flagstone base consists of 4" of highly compacted gravel then a uniform 3/4" layer of concrete sand and finally stone. Any foundation for decks, fences or pergolas should have a minimum depth of 48” to protect them from the harsh Toronto climate. At Merlin our contractors are focused on an efficient landscape installs with minimal environmental impact. Construction of outdoor rooms can lead to future issues such as soil compaction which we work to avoid.

One of the most prevalent mistakes homeowners make is to take on their landscape a little at a time. They start projects, begin to clear areas add a mix of plants and continue without a plan. Implementing a design plan with a prepared budget will lead a homeowner to a beautiful landscape that they can feel good about.
