👉 At Frontiers, approximately 25% of our work is landscape design/build, 50% of our work is renovations and additions, and the remaining 25% is for special multi-unit residential projects for not-for-profit organizations.

🔥 The Frontiers Difference:

Our ability to tackle both inside and outside has led us to take on many unique projects for homeowners who wish to tackle home facades, windows, doors, additions, and transition spaces, as part of a larger backyard project. Conversely, it is of great benefit for our landscape team to come in and put the pieces back together after a home addition. Of course, you want to work with one trusted and capable resource, as opposed to being your own general contractor. Further to that, the alignment and efficiency we can build into these projects is a big benefit to you, the homeowner.

Let's get started on your next high-performance, residential or commercial renovation project. 👌

We love a backyard redo, but let's not forget about the front of the house 😍

This stunning front yard space played off the fusion of a traditional yellow brick facade with rustic corten steel planters, a modern poured concrete driveway, and an incredible green roof above a newly constructed garage. 🍃

Integrated lighting in the planters illuminates the custom natural stone steps at night. The lush plantings throughout soften and unite the mix of traditional and modern features.

Off the beaten track, this historic schoolhouse has old school charm with its traditional stone exterior. 👊🏻

We pulled this style into the landscape, which resulted in a stunning pool courtyard space, complete with a fire howl and tasteful outdoor kitchen.

Who's excited it's summer????

👉 Why Construction Projects Go Over Budget

Budget overruns are often blamed on rising material costs or unforeseen site conditions. But one of the biggest hidden causes is poor coordination between designers and builders.

At Frontiers, we have worked extensively with our design partners to build tremendous alignment and efficiency during the Pre-Construction planning stage - keeping design and budget aligned throughout the project lifecycle.

When drawings lack coordination, problems are discovered during construction—when fixes are expensive.

Where Coordination Breaks Down
▪️ structural conflicts
▪️ mechanical systems competing for space
▪️ incomplete detailing
▪️ unrealistic construction assumptions

Each of these issues leads to delays, change orders, and frustration.

Projects that bring designers, engineers, and builders together early experience fewer surprises. Collaborative teams can:
▪️ review constructability
▪️ align budgets with design decisions
▪️ resolve technical conflicts before construction begins

Great construction projects rarely happen by accident. They are the result of careful planning, collaboration, and alignment between all members of the project team.

This semester, Kyle has been a valued part of the Frontiers team as our co-op student, gaining hands-on experience across a wide range of skills from framing, insulation, and drywall to the many day-to-day details that bring a project together.

When asked about his experience, Kyle shared:

“Throughout this semester, I learned a lot of valuable skills from framing to insulation and drywall, as well as many other useful skills. The Frontiers team is filled with awesome individuals who helped me learn, improve my skills, and made sure I felt part of the team.”

We’re proud to support the next generation of skilled tradespeople and grateful to have had Kyle as part of the team. Thanks for all your hard work this semester, Kyle — we can’t wait to see what’s next for you!

Project Feature: Bungalow Bistro 👊

This modest bungalow kitchen received a complete transformation that proves high-end functionality isn’t reserved for large floor plans. Within the intimate 11.5′ x 12′ footprint, the space was reimagined to maximize natural light and flow by replacing a small existing window with an expansive new unit and adding a dedicated exterior man door. To anchor the room, a new central island was installed featuring an induction cooktop and a professional direct vent range hood.

While the core plumbing remained in its original location to optimize the budget, the aesthetic was elevated by maintaining the original hardwood floors. This choice provides a warm, durable foundation that can be extended throughout the entire main floor for a unified, seamless transition between rooms.

The result is a sophisticated, efficient kitchen that balances structural upgrades—like new headers and exterior access—with the modern luxuries of a custom gourmet workspace.

At Frontiers, we renovate for the long-term. Reach out to us to get started on your next reno project!
