About Us

Transforming Outdoor Spaces into Personal Retreats

At Yard Retreats, we’re passionate about turning everyday backyards into extraordinary outdoor spaces you can’t wait to come home to. With over 25 years of hands-on experience in property renovations across the Durham Region, we bring a deep understanding of design, construction, and what truly makes a space feel like home.

We believe in honest conversations, thoughtful planning, and quality that speaks for itself. Every project is approached with care, using the best materials, skilled craftsmanship, and a commitment to excellence—because we treat your home like it’s our own.

Kevin and his Team

Kevin has spent his entire career in the contracting world, which naturally led him into landscaping. What started as a profession quickly became a passion. I take great pride in every project we complete and love the opportunity to meet new clients, build relationships, and help bring their outdoor visions to life. I’m a people person through and through, and customer satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do.

Let’s create a space you’ll love to live in—outside.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Samantha Webster

Kevin and his team recently completed work at my parents property in Whitby. He was referred by an old friend and we were not disappointed. From his detailed communication, efficiency of the young team working with him and their attention to detail their yard has had a much needed overhaul. They were so pleased with the result and hope you will consider him for your future projects.

Warren and Sharon Pickering

Kevin did a fantastic job building our deck! He worked well with us on designing some additional elements on the fly, and brought them to life as imagined, and without fuss. We also liked that he brings young people and mentors them on the job. Skilled trades are in such demand, and learning from Kevin must be great for these kids. We get a lot of compliments on our deck, and are always pleased to pass along Yard Retreat's contact.

Bill W

Kevin and his crew were absolutely fantastic! They worked very hard and built us a great deck and gates for our yard. They are honest, reliable, friendly and very professional. Kevin has an eye for detail and was easy to work with in designing our deck. I like that he has young people working for him and he takes time to mentor them. I would highly recommend Yard Retreat for any of your future yard projects, as I would definitely hire them again and will do so.

Mark Blackmore

10/10! Kevin and his Yard Retreat team were professional, punctual, and delivered exactly what I envisioned for a very reasonable cost. They removed >10 yards of earth, properly secured my deck, power washed a wood retaining wall, laid two interlock walkways, replaced a section of fence, redid my front garden, painted my foundation and siding, and installed some outdoor lighting. All of their work was top notch, done on time and on budget! Along the way, Kevin even offered some great options that worked so well with my vision! I can't recommend Yard Retreat highly enough!

Jean Stevens, Oshawa

Kevin is always incredibly professional and accommodating. I know I can trust him to work diligently, even when I’m away on vacation. His workmanship is incredible and he is reliable. Stop looking, this is the man you need to get the job done right.
