Old World Charm

Old World Charm Backyard Retreat in Toronto’s Beaches by Earthscape

Nestled in the heart of Toronto’s picturesque Beaches neighbourhood, the Old World Charm project by Earthscape transforms a traditional yard into a family-friendly outdoor haven. With a focus on artificial turf, ergonomic design for children, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and a cozy fire pit, this landscape exemplifies Earthscape’s mastery in marrying functionality with classic style.

Artificial Turf & Kid-Friendly Play Zones

To ensure a lush, maintenance-free lawn year-round, Earthscape installed premium synthetic turf that feels soft underfoot and drains efficiently after rainfall. This resilient surface creates a safe play area for kids of all ages—perfect for backyard games, impromptu picnics, or barefoot summertime fun. The turf’s vibrant green backdrop contrasts beautifully with flagstone stepping areas, guiding little feet toward activity zones and minimizing slip-and-fall risks.

Outdoor Kitchen & Entertaining Pavilion

At the core of this Old World–inspired design is a bespoke outdoor kitchen sheltered beneath a timber-framed pavilion. Earthscape’s craftsmen selected natural stone veneer and cedar accents to echo the project’s classic theme. Equipped with stainless-steel appliances—a built-in grill, undercounter fridge, and prep sink—this kitchen supports al fresco dining from spring through fall. A granite countertop bar invites guests to gather, socialize, and savor effortless meal service against the backdrop of Toronto’s lake-effect breeze.

Fire Pit Lounge & Evening Ambiance

Adjacent to the kitchen, a circular fire pit becomes the project’s social hearth. Constructed of hand-chiseled stone that complements nearby walls, the fire pit offers a safe, contained flame for marshmallow roasts and storytelling. Comfortable built-in benches, topped with weather-treated timber, provide seating for the whole family, while recessed LED uplights cast a warm glow on the surrounding masonry—extending usability deep into cool Ontario evenings.

Seamless Hardscape & Subtle Softscape Accents

Earthscape balanced the bold architecture with restrained planting pockets—featuring low-maintenance evergreens, boxwood hedges, and ornamental grasses. Corten steel edging crisply defines these softscape areas, ensuring clean lines that mirror the Old World masonry. Natural flagstone patios and pathways create gentle circulation between play zones, kitchen, and fire pit, all unified by a cohesive colour palette and timeless materials.

Local Character & Sustainable Practices

Designed for Toronto’s Beaches lifestyle, this backyard retreat prioritizes sustainable landscape design. The artificial turf eliminates watering and mowing, while the flagstone surfaces allow rainwater infiltration. All wood and stone components were sourced locally to reduce environmental impact. By blending classic charm with modern convenience, Earthscape delivers a turnkey outdoor living solution that delights families and enhances property value in the Beaches community.
