Tumber & Associates

A beautiful outdoor space should be a place of inspiration and sanctuary - a retreat from the hectic pace of everyday life. It should say welcome home, enjoy, stay awhile. Tumber transformed the rear garden and pool area of the 1970s-era country house that we purchased as our retirement forever home from worn-out and overgrown into a relaxing multi-use, multi-level, 4-season retreat. The project included a revitalized pool and patio area, landscape lighting, perennial gardens, a 4-season cabana with gas fireplace and infrared heaters, a small stream which courses down the back hill to a fish pond, a wooden bridge, a new deck with recessed hot tub, and stones steps to a lower garden and fire pit patio. The project was not without its challenges. The Tumber team had to address drainage issues and work permitting approvals through the local conservation authority. Fortunately, they have experience and expertise with both. Their collaborative and creative approach to planning and decision-making made the whole experience enjoyable and we would highly recommend them. In fact, we hope to work with them again soon on some improvements to the front yard.
