“Sometimes a backyard is more than just a space… it becomes a place to slow down, relax, and make memories.”
— Labrador Trucking
While the homeowners were on vacation, Labrador Trucking created a winding decorative river using white crystal and black granite. Black mulch, boulders, plants and flowers frame the stonework, with solar lights for the evening. A custom-built bridge crosses the river and leads into the woods. The work also included preparation for future hydroseed, a gazebo pad and a shed pad.

A BETTER GRADE. A CLEANER FINISH.

“This was a big job - we were 5 days, all hands on deck!”
— Labrador Trucking
This five-day project involved hauling in fill, lowering high ground at the front and reshaping the property. The crew removed a dump-truck load of debris, cleaned both ditches and sloped the steep roadside bank. Hand-laid R5 rock formed a ditch between neighbouring properties at different elevations. Turbo Hydroseeding & Landscapes was scheduled to handle the hydroseeding.

FROM BARE GROUND TO GREEN.

“Book your ground Prep and topsoil spreading today!!”
— Labrador Trucking
Working within a strict budget, the crew cut and moved ground to reshape the property, then finished it with fresh soil. Hauling started Monday and the job was completed Wednesday, as planned. All-Scape & Design handled the hydroseeding. The later update shows the lawn grown in, with the homeowners keeping it watered as it established.

Drag the arrow to compare before and after.
“They wanted a pad done for their gazebo, a pad for their new deck”
— Labrador Trucking
While the homeowners were away, Labrador Trucking prepared pads for a gazebo and a new deck, regraded the backyard and spread fresh topsoil. The crew also widened the driveway, dealt with the weeds and added crushed rock, giving the owners a refreshed property to come home to.

GETTING WATER AWAY FROM HOME.
Drag the arrow to compare before and after.
“We moved 230 ton!!! of dirt”
— Labrador Trucking
The owners reported a sump pump running almost constantly. Labrador Trucking found the yard sloping toward the house, with additional runoff arriving from the woods. The crew lowered and regraded the ground, moved roughly 230 tons of soil and used it to extend the backyard. A river-rock ditch redirected water around the home. Their post reported that the sump pump had stayed off during the following few days.

A CLEAN SLATE FOR A NEW LAWN.

“This beautiful property in waasis is ready for hydroseeding!”

A PATH WORTH CELEBRATING.
Drag the arrow to compare before and after.
“This turned into a beautiful scenic walkway for their family and friends to join them in celebration.”
— Labrador Trucking
Working through the weekend and into the evenings, the crew built a wedding pad and scenic walkway in time for the celebration. Platinum White and Black Granite gave the woodland setting a bright, finished surface.

A FRONT YARD TRANSFORMED.

11Property grading · Ditch reshaping
RESHAPED FOR BETTER WATER FLOW.
Drag the arrow to compare before and after.
“There were highs and lows all over.”
— Labrador Trucking
The crew lowered high areas, cleared overgrowth and reshaped the steep roadside ditch to guide water away from the property. The first photo shows early work; the team noted that they missed a full before photo. Heavy rain later caused some washout at the bottom of the ditch, while the rest of the regraded property held up with little washout.
