Landscape Design in Erin & Guelph
Turn your Erin or Guelph property into a cohesive outdoor retreat with a design-build landscape from O'Connor Contracting. We start with a plan — how you want to live in the space — then build every element ourselves: grading, planting, patios, walls, water features and lighting. Serving Erin, Hillsburgh, Guelph and the surrounding Wellington County countryside since 2003.
Because one family-run team designs and constructs the whole project, the finished landscape is unified, properly graded and built to last — backed by $5M insurance, WSIB coverage, a BBB A+ rating and 500+ completed projects.
Our Landscape Design-Build Process
From concept to the final plant, we keep it under one roof:
- Design & planning — a plan that balances hardscape, planting, drainage and how you’ll use the yard
- Softscape — grading, sod, garden beds, trees and low-maintenance planting suited to Wellington County
- Hardscape — interlock patios, walkways, retaining walls and steps
- Water features & pools — waterfalls, ponds and pool-surround landscaping
- Finishing — landscape lighting, edging and outdoor living details
Landscaping Built for Erin & Guelph Properties
Larger rural and estate lots around Erin, Hillsburgh and Guelph bring their own challenges — grade, drainage, well and septic locations, and the transition from manicured space to natural surroundings. We design with all of it in mind, so the landscape looks intentional and drains correctly for the long run. Ready to build outdoors too? Explore our decks and patios.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a landscape design cost in the Erin & Guelph area?
Every property is different, so we scope and quote each project individually after understanding your goals, lot size and site conditions. Design-build pricing is provided as a clear, itemized estimate with no obligation.
Do you handle both the design and the construction?
Yes. We are a true design-build landscaper — the same team that designs your plan builds it, which keeps the vision intact, avoids finger-pointing between trades and usually saves time and money.
When is the best time to start a landscape project?
We build through most of the year, but spring and early summer book up fast. Planning a design over winter means your project is shovel-ready as soon as the season opens.
Do you work on large rural and estate properties?
We do. Many Erin, Hillsburgh and Guelph-area projects are on acreage, and we plan for grade, drainage, well and septic considerations that come with larger country lots.
