Before & After
In the heart of a quiet Winnipeg neighbourhood, this Ruskin backyard was ready for a transformation. The clients envisioned a contemporary outdoor space that would feel like an extension of their home—perfect for both entertaining and unwinding. With a focus on modern design, elegant hardscaping, and functional flow, North Coral Landscaping brought the vision to life with a blend of clean lines, soft greenery, and thoughtful detail.
The design plan for this project emphasized clean geometry, usability, and a clear visual flow. The layout optimized the existing space, introducing structured zones for walking, relaxing, and enjoying the garden. The use of overhead views during the planning phase allowed for precise positioning of paver edges, plant groupings, and flow pathways—ensuring balance and cohesion from every angle.
Design Drafts
Building the Vision
- Site Prep & Foundation Work: The backyard was cleared and leveled, and proper drainage was implemented to protect the foundation and future plantings.
- Installing the Hardscaping: Using high-quality pavers, the patio and walkways were meticulously installed. Their precise lines and soft curves were designed to mirror the home’s modern architecture.
- Garden Installation: The new garden beds were framed with sleek edging and filled with a mix of evergreen and seasonal plants, chosen for both visual impact and ease of care.
- Final Details: Every element was refined with care—from the crisp lawn edges to the curated plant arrangements—bringing warmth and personality to the modern design.
The Ruskin project is a stunning example of modern outdoor living done right. With its streamlined paver layout, intentional garden design, and thoughtful use of space, this backyard now functions as a tranquil escape just steps from the home. It’s proof that even simple designs can make a bold statement with the right materials, vision, and execution.
