01One accountable team

Plan, prepare, build and care.

Most properties are divided among a landscaper, an excavator, a septic installer and a stone mason. NuScape coordinates all of it, reducing the burden on you, your builder and your architect.

01

Plan

Property discovery, site and constraint review, master planning and investment alignment, before anything is built.

02

Prepare

Permits, procurement, access, staging and pre-construction coordination with your builder and architect.

03

Build

Excavation, septic, grading, drainage, natural stone, structures and planting installed by our own crews.

04

Care

Ongoing estate care keeps the landscape performing and maturing long after construction is complete.

Complex property expertise

Built for difficult sites.

Bedrock, elevation, shorelines and access are where most projects stall. They are where NuScape is strongest, planning the infrastructure first so the finished landscape lasts.

  • Bedrock & blasting
  • Steep elevation
  • Shoreline restoration
  • Septic & drainage
  • Remote access
  • Retaining & grading

The client experience
04Project investment

Where NuScape fits.

Every property is different, access, bedrock, elevation, drainage, materials and timeline all shape the investment. Most NuScape projects are significant, multi-season undertakings, and we scope each one around what the site actually needs.

Tier 01
Significant improvements
Patios, planting, grading and meaningful property upgrades.
Tier 02
Comprehensive projects
Elevation, retaining and waterfront connections at scale.
Tier 03
Full-property & complex
Multiple disciplines, site services and phased execution.

In the end, this is about how you live, long weekends at the cottage, evenings by the fire and early mornings on the dock.

We listen closely, plan with intention and stay accountable through every stage, so the property works as beautifully as it looks, season after season.

Client & builder proof01 / 04

“We had the pleasure of working with Dustyn Pilger from NuScape Landscaping, a very young and talented landscape designer who truly exceeded our expectations. He brought with him a team of equally impressive young men, each one well trained, professional, and committed to the highest standards of workmanship. The results speak for themselves, our outdoor space has been completely transformed, and we couldn't be happier.”

Laura Campbell

“We just had work done by NuScape landscaping to the front of our house. The staff were professional, kind, hard-working, wonderful people. They showed up on time and left the job site clean and tidy. They did an expert job cutting each piece of stone to perfectly fit into a jigsaw puzzle that looks like a masterpiece. I would highly recommend this company.”

Cathy S.

“We were delighted with the work done by Dustyn and his crew. The Muskoka granite steps and walkway from our deck to the lake looks great. He was reliable, kept us updated and was very attentive to details. Could not have asked for a better landscaper.”

E. Palermo

“Dustyn did a great job addressing my landscape needs. He was collaborative, competitively priced and followed through with everything that he offered. He and his team did a great job of communicating timing and had great ideas to satisfy the direction I wanted to take my project. I would gladly recommend his company.”
