Our Landscaping Services
We offer a full range of residential landscaping services in Ottawa, whether you’re starting from scratch or upgrading an existing yard.
Hardscape
Patios, walkways, retaining walls, and steps, we build hardscape that handles Ottawa’s frost depth, clay soil, and freeze-thaw cycles. Every job starts with the base, not the surface.
Sunken pavers, edge creep, and settled sections; most interlock problems come down to base failure or drainage. We diagnose the cause first so the fix actually holds.
Ottawa’s frost depth is nearly 2 metres in a bad winter. A retaining wall that isn’t built with proper drainage and footing depth will move; we’ve repaired enough of other people’s walls to know exactly what not to skip.
Ottawa’s clay soil needs to be addressed before sod goes down, not after. We prep, grade, and topsoil properly so the turf establishes in the first season and stays level.
A patio that lasts in Ottawa needs 8–10 inches of excavation, a proper granular base, drainage slope, and edge restraint. We do all of it. The surface is the easy part.
A pergola turns a patio into an outdoor room. We build in cedar or pressure-treated lumber with footings below frost, designed for Ottawa’s snow load and wind, not just a catalogue photo.
Ottawa’s outdoor season is short. A fire pit extends into September evenings, cool May nights, and Thanksgiving weekend. We build wood-burning and gas fire features integrated into the patio or as a separate seating area.
Mulch not only improves soil health but also gives your garden beds a neat, polished appearance. Proper installation helps retain moisture and keeps unwanted weeds at bay.
Why Choose Bennett Lawn & Landscape?
Work That Doesn’t Need Fixing a Year Later

We take pride in doing things right, from base preparation to the final cleanup. As a trusted landscape contractor in Ottawa, our goal is simple: deliver a finished project you can enjoy for years, not just the first summer.
Our Philosophy
We believe landscaping should feel like it belongs with your home, not something added as an afterthought. That’s why we take the time to understand how you want to use your outdoor space before recommending a design or layout.
Every project is approached with the same level of care and attention Isaac Bennett would expect on his own property, no shortcuts, no rushed decisions.
About Isaac Bennett
Isaac Bennett is the founder and owner of Bennett Lawn & Landscape, an Ottawa-based landscaping company established in 2020. With a hands-on approach to both design and construction, Isaac believes that good landscaping starts with understanding how a homeowner actually uses their outdoor space, and ends with work that stands the test of time.
Rather than running multiple crews across dozens of sites, Isaac stays closely involved in project planning, material selection, and quality control. Clients appreciate knowing the person behind the company is accountable for how their project turns out.
Isaac founded Bennett Lawn & Landscape to offer homeowners a more personal alternative to large, impersonal landscaping companies, one focused on craftsmanship, honest communication, and long-term results.

What Is the Best Time of Year To Hire a Landscape Company?
The best time of year to hire a landscape company in Ottawa is spring and summer. It gives us time to design and install the project, and gives you time to enjoy it the rest of the year.
What is the easiest type of landscaping to maintain year-round?
In Ottawa, the easiest landscaping to maintain year-round includes native plants, mulch or rock garden beds, and interlock or stone hardscaping. These elements are built to handle hot summers and cold winters, and they need minimal watering, trimming, and seasonal repairs.
What is the least expensive way to landscape?
The least expensive way to landscape is to focus on simple lawn areas, mulch beds, and small plants instead of large hardscaping features. Using native plants also reduces long-term costs because they need less water and maintenance.
What landscaping increases home value in Ottawa?
Landscaping that improves curb appeal and adds usable outdoor space increases home value in Ottawa. Features like a healthy lawn, neat planting beds, stone walkways, patios, and outdoor lighting make homes more attractive to buyers and can help boost resale value.
How do you make sure your clients are happy with your work?
We make sure our clients are happy by listening to their needs, keeping clear communication throughout the project, and delivering quality workmanship. We also walk through the finished job with our clients to ensure everything meets their expectations.
What is the difference between landscaping and hardscaping?
Landscaping refers to the living elements of your yard, like lawns, plants, trees, and flowers, while hardscaping includes non-living features such as patios, walkways, retaining walls, and stone or brick elements. Together, they create a complete and balanced outdoor space.
