Tucked into a lush canopy of mature trees, this backyard is a true expression of private, serene outdoor living. Clean architectural lines and a calming palette frame the pool, while layered greenery creates a natural sense of seclusion and quiet.

SAMANTHA KLEINKNECHT - FOUNDER SK LANDSCAPE DESIGN

Before graduating from Ryerson’s Landscape Design program, I graduated with a degree in Economics from Trent University and from York University in Technical and Professional Writing.  My belief that being outdoors can improve your quality of life, and a passion for design led me to Ryerson’s Landscape Design program.

Creative Vision

“My husband and I have lived in our home for 32 years. With our three sons now out of our home, we decided it was time for a complete home renovation. Both inside and out. With the inside almost complete it was time to tackle the outside. We know that a professional landscape designer would be the way to go. I searched on Houzz website and was put in touch with Samantha. Samantha toured our house, saw the design direction we have gone, listened to what we wanted and then came back with a few plans that captured the aesthetic for which we were aiming. Samantha was a total joy to work with. Immediately upon meeting her we were impressed by her creative vision and warm professionalism. She made us feel like we knew her for years. She really took the time to figure out our style and find plants that we loved that would also be easy to maintain and grow well in the space. I couldn’t recommend Samantha more highly. If you want a beautiful, unique landscaping design handled by someone pleasant, efficient, and highly skilled; Samantha is who you should contact.”
