Garden Beds in Barrie, Orillia & Muskoka
We design with growth in mind.
At Strong Roots, garden beds are more than places to plant—they’re living design elements that shape the entire experience of your outdoor space. Our team takes a holistic approach to bed layout, layering, and plant selection to ensure your garden thrives visually and biologically.
Using 3D visualization, we help you see your new garden beds before the first shovel hits the soil. This lets you explore plant combinations, color palettes, and bed shapes in context with your home and surrounding landscape. With in-house expertise, we ensure that every bed isn’t just beautiful, but thoughtfully built to suit the site and seasonality.
What Are Garden Beds in Landscaping?
Garden beds are the foundation of softscaping—where plants, soil, and structure work together to bring life and movement to your outdoor space. They can define borders, frame patios, add privacy, or draw attention to focal points in the yard. But successful garden bed design requires more than planting flowers—it’s about understanding soil composition, drainage, sunlight exposure, and how to layer textures and bloom times.
At Strong Roots Landscaping, we build garden beds that reflect both your aesthetic and the natural rhythms of your property. Whether it’s a native perennial bed or a modern low-maintenance mix, each installation is customized to flourish in its environment.
Our Approach to Garden Beds in Barrie, Orillia & Muskoka
We design with the landscape—not against it. In Muskoka, we work with rocky, wooded terrain to create beds that blend seamlessly with natural features. In Orillia and Barrie, we consider neighborhood context, sun patterns, and microclimates to build beds that mature gracefully and suit their setting.
Our garden bed services include:
- Native & Pollinator-Friendly Planting
- Raised Garden Beds
- Bed Edge Installation (natural stone, steel, or paver)
- Soil Conditioning & Mulching

Absolutely amazing to work with…
From rendering to execution, Zach was there every step of the way. Rain or shine they worked hard to deliver an amazing end result before schedule. Zach was flexible and adaptable every step of the project, from grading issues to stone shortage, Zach offered amazing alternatives and delivered. Our oasis is more than we could have asked for. We are looking forward to having Zach and his team back for phase 2 of our project later this fall or early spring. Most importantly, the strong roots crew where very much loved by my Labradors.

You were recommended to us…
From the moment we first contacted Zach for our walkway project, to the completed installation, we were impressed with his professionalism and attention to detail. Zach's suggestions regarding the walkway made it easy for us to finalize a design. Zach and his crew's did a fabulous job. Their attention to detail was amazing. There was not one day on the job where they did not leave without cleaning up the work site. We felt at total ease knowing we made the right choice to hire Strong Roots Landscaping. Looking forward to having them return for more work!
