A garden bed is more than a strip of soil with a few plants in it. A well-designed bed has shape, layers, and a plan for colour that carries through spring, summer, and fall. Most beds fall flat because they are planted with no design. Random plants, no structure, and beds that look bare half the year.
McCoy designs and builds garden beds that look intentional and stay full through the seasons. We plan the shape, the layering, and the plant mix so there is always something in bloom or in leaf. As a design-build company, we shape your beds around your patios, walls, and lawn so the whole yard flows together.
Every yard is different. Here are the garden beds we design most often across Oakville, Burlington, Mississauga, and Milton homes.

Most garden bed projects take a few days to 1 week on-site, depending on size. Spring and fall are the best planting seasons, so book ahead.
Every project is scoped to the size and shape of the beds, the plant plan, and the soil and edging work needed. There is no flat guessing over the phone. We build the written estimate after the on-site visit, so the number you see is the number you pay. No surprises, no escalations.
It depends on the size and shape of the beds, the plant plan, and the soil and edging work. A single front bed costs far less than a full yard of designed beds. We give you a written estimate after the on-site visit, not a guess over the phone.
