Who we are.....

Welcome to Monarch Fine Landscapes, Pools & Spas. Since 1996, we’ve been dedicated to crafting exceptional outdoor spaces while adapting to the unique and evolving needs of our valued clients. Specializing in outdoor lifestyle design, we remain dedicated to one core principle, that every project starts with your vision. Our mission is clear—transform that vision into a stunning reality. Whether it’s a small garden refresh or the creation of a breathtaking backyard resort, our commitment is unwavering: to deliver exceptional results tailored to your needs and aspirations. 

Since 1999, we have been a proud member of Landscape Ontario and have received numerous Awards of Excellence including the prestigious "Casey Van Maris" trophy for innovation and uniqueness of design.

In recent years, we’ve broadened our landscape construction services to include the installation of Latham swimming pools together with quality Hayward pool products and Naturekast weatherproof outdoor kitchen cabinetry. Additionally, we’ve launched a retail division at our Northfield Drive location in the Eastbridge neighbourhood within the City of Waterloo, where we are pleased to offer Bullfrog and Marquis swim spas and hot tubs, along with all the essential supplies to keep them running smoothly and efficiently.

What we do.....

Frequently asked questions......

How do we initiate the design build process?

Simply click on the Free Consultation button located at the bottom of each page and you will be redirected to our Contact Form. Fill in your contact details and a brief description of your project and submit. We will then follow up to arrange a convenient day and time for an on site review and discussion. No obligation and no cost.

Do I need a permit before I install a pool or hot tub?

While most municipalities in Ontario do not require a permit for hot tubs prior to installation provided they are installed with a "lockable" cover, some may, it is always advisable to check. Many homeowners elect to install fencing with a lockable gate. With respect to swimming pools, all Municipalities will have permit approval requirements with subtle differences between them depending on the jurisdiction. In all instances an "Enclosure Permit" will be required prior to filling the pool with water.

What is the lead time required to initiate a project?

Many homeowners continue to be under the impression that construction lead times remain at Covid levels. During that period, labour and material shortages as well as supply chain interruptions greatly protracted time periods. In current market conditions, time periods have normalized with lead times being as short as four weeks depending on project design complexity and permit requirements.

What types of services do you provide?

In addition to traditional landscape elements such as swimming pools, decks, fences, patios and softscape, we also provide installation of Naturekast outdoor kitchens as well as the Blaze line of outdoor grills and accessories. Our retail division also offers a selection of Marquis and Bullfrog hot tub and swim spa products and accessories as well as maintenance services.

What service areas do you cover?

Our primary markets are Waterloo, Kitchener, Cambridge, Guelph, Woodstock, Elora and Fergus. Generally, we prefer to limit our service area to within one hour of our base of operations in Waterloo.

Can I phase the project over several years?

Yes, with some qualifications. We are often asked this question. We always encourage Clients to complete any required structural and  underground work (electrical, gas, telecommunications cable) to be completed in the initial phase to avoid having to bring heavy equipment back into the property. Wood structures, such as decks, pool cabanas or storage sheds can easily be constructed after the initial phase. As some homeowners prefer to install their own plant materials, we simply ensure that planting beds are excavated and proper growing medium is installed in Phase 1.

Client testimonials.....

Absolutely amazing company to deal with from start to finish and beyond! We can not say enough good things about this company. They were honest and upfront with us right from the beginning in terms of cost and what they could/could not do. The quality of the work and attention to detail was outstanding along with a guarantee/warranty on all plants/trees. My wife and I changed our plans several times during the construction and not once did they give us any resistance. The project went on during the heart of COVID despite the scarcity of supplies but they stood by their contract and came to us with solutions, not problems.

You will not regret your decision to go with Monarch!!

I have had the pleasure of working with Monarch in renovating two backyards in Waterloo. As a homeowner who has well-defined design preferences and aesthetic needs, Monarch worked hard and succeeded in translating my requirements into their designs. I think their creativity and vision for both projects have been nothing less than exceptional. As I sit here in my living room looking at my backyard, I'm reminded again of why we chose to go with Monarch Landscape. Our backyard space is simply stunning and my family and I are looking forward to our many stay-cations here in the years to come. The team at Monarch are great! Everyone, including the pool(concrete), electrical and painting subcontractors, were as nice as can be, as well as very professional. They indulged questions from 2 curious young boys (as well as mine) throughout the project. Thank you so much for making our dream backyard a reality, once again

We had the pleasure of working with Monarch Landscape on an extensive backyard project that spanned from the creation of a new outdoor living space to the addition of a four-season sunroom to complete the design.

From the beginning we were impressed by our experience with Monarch. They possess an exceptional ability to listen to their client’s desires and integrate them with their broad depth of knowledge of landscape design resulting in a uniquely beautiful and artistic creation. The staff at Monarch was attentive, easily accessible and bear an unparalleled attention to detail ensuring our complete satisfaction. We would recommend them to anyone interested in making improvements to their outdoor living environment.

The entire Monarch team was professional, tidy and courteous. Any complications that arose were dealt with promptly and thoroughly. The project stayed true to budget and all changes were met with approval. From beginning to end we had an amazing experience with Monarch Landscape and one that we would both strongly endorse.
