About
About
Basswood Landscapes is the landscape design division of Basswood Inc., run by Kenny Prince and Erin Prince (Partner).
From on-site measurements, digital imaging, and drones, we turn your lot into these layouts. Photoreal stills, 3D videos, 2D installation drawings, and the permit path. The file specifies the products, including where the spa electrical line lands.
The drawing names products we sell and install: stone, railing, fire, kitchen, spa, heat. The grade, drainage, and freeze-thaw are in the file. A pretty picture that still says spa TBD is how pads get poured in the wrong place.
We fly the lot when the grade needs it. The design sits on the real trees, slope, and water edge, not a guessed plan.
Who it is for
Cottage and rural lots that want the drawing on the actual grade.
From Echo Bay to Elliot Lake, including Iron Bridge, and the lakes and towns in between. Then the option to have Basswood install it.
What done looks like
Stills, video, drawings, and a list the crew can order from.
Photoreal stills of the actual lot. 3D videos. A lighting plan. 2D installation drawings. A takeoff list so we know exactly what you are going to need for the project. Stone, planting, and specified products installed as one job so the drawing holds through freeze-thaw.
Start here
3D drawings start at $2,200.
Anyone looking for a drawing layout or a quote starts here. Photoreal stills of the actual house and grade. Card includes a 2% processing fee. Interac e-transfer is $2,200 to build@basswoodinc.ca. If you choose Basswood for installation and project management, this fee goes toward that deposit. Drawings are included in all of our site installations. If you use another firm, a final bill is issued when the final drawings are released.
3D video
Walk the lot on screen before anything is built.
A 3D video of the design on the actual house and grade. Pause it, send it to family, and change a wall or a bed before the stone is ordered.
2D installation drawings
This is what it looks like in drawing form.
Overhead layout with planting, hardscape, and labels. The file the installer works from, not a mood board. Lighting plan and takeoff list sit with it.
What to send
The address, how you use the lot, and a few photos.
Civic address and township. Lake access, parking, fire, planting, privacy. Any products already named: stone, railing, fire, kitchen, spa. Tape measurements help. We can fly the lot if you do not have them.
Meet on the lot or virtual. Same design team. Same files.
What this line covers
Four packages. Quoted to the lot.
02
Lifelike 3D Design
Photoreal stills of the actual house and grade. Live review. Revisions until it sits. The core package. 3D drawings start at $2,200.
03
Full Design Set
3D, video walkthrough, 2D hardscape / planting / layout plans, lighting plan, plant list, material takeoffs. Night views as an add-on. Permit drawings when the file needs them.
04
Design + Build
Same set, then Basswood installs. Earthwork, armour stone, patio, planting, drainage, and the specified products as one job. Drawings are included in all of our site installations, so the $2,200 fee goes toward that deposit.
How we work
Consult. Draw. Permit. Build.
01
First meeting
On the lot or on screen. You tell us how you use the place. We tell you which package fits and which permits the file is likely to need.
02
Site capture
Photos, tape, and drone if the grade needs it. Existing trees, slope, water edge, utilities, and products already named.
03
Live review
We put the first model up and move walls, stairs, and beds with you watching.
04
Presentation
Finished stills and a walkthrough on the Full Design Set. Plants at mature size. Materials we can buy and install.
05
Revisions
A round in a few business days. The design is not locked until you say it is.
06
Plans and permits
We work with the various permit requirements in each township, with our subtrades, so the drawings match what the file actually needs. Agency fees stay yours.
Typical first package: about two weeks after the consult. Small photo jobs faster. Big lake lots longer.

Questions
Straight answers.
Who is Basswood Landscapes?
Basswood Landscapes is the landscape design division of Basswood Inc. in Huron Shores, Ontario. The yard is at 1413 Basswood Lake Road. We draw cottage and rural lots for Algoma, then Basswood can install the work if you want it built.
Do you design landscapes as well as build them?
Yes. Basswood Inc. in Huron Shores has a dedicated design team. We draw the lot on site or virtual, and Basswood can install the earthwork, stone, planting, and specified products.
What do 3D landscape drawings cost?
3D drawings start at $2,200 CAD. That is the start of a layout or a quote. Card payments include a 2% processing fee. Interac e-transfer is $2,200 to build@basswoodinc.ca. If you choose Basswood for installation and project management, this fee goes toward that deposit. Drawings are included in all of our site installations. If you use another firm, a final bill is issued when the final drawings are released.
Where do you work?
From Echo Bay to Elliot Lake, and the lakes and towns in between, including Huron Shores, Thessalon, Iron Bridge, Blind River, St. Joseph Island, and cottage lots across Algoma. Meet on the lot or virtual.
How long does a design take?
Most packages land about two weeks after the first meeting. A single photo job can be quicker. A full lake-lot set with plans takes longer. Changes after presentation usually come back within a few business days.
Can we change it if we do not like it?
Yes. Revisions are part of the work. We would rather move a stair on the drawing than on the slope.
Do we have to meet in person?
No. On your lot or virtual. Same design team. Same files.
Do you handle permits?
We work with the various permit requirements in each township, with our subtrades, and prepare the drawings the file needs. Fees to the agency stay yours. Rules change, so we confirm them on the actual lot, not from a generic list.
Will the plants look like the drawing?
Drawings show shrubs and perennials at mature size and trees in the 10 to 15 year range. Species are chosen for our climate, Canadian plant hardiness zone 4b.
How is this different from a pretty picture?
The drawing names products we sell and install. The grade, drainage, walls, and pads are built for freeze-thaw. If the grade needs armour stone, the design already accounts for the machine.
