Why Alliston Homeowners Call GDS
Alliston is one of the fastest-growing towns in Simcoe County — new subdivisions going up constantly, young families moving in, and a whole lot of new-build homes with unfinished yards. If you just took possession and you’re staring at a mud lot, that’s our most common Alliston call.
New construction landscaping is its own specialty. Builders leave you with rough grading, construction debris, and a deadline from the town to get it finished. We do complete new-build packages: final grading, topsoil, sod, interlocking walkways and patios, fences, and planting — everything the builder didn’t do, done in the right order so nothing has to be redone.
The other big Alliston pattern is fences. When a whole street moves in at once, everyone wants a fence at the same time — and neighbours who coordinate save money. We regularly fence multiple adjacent lots in one mobilization, which keeps the per-foot price down for everybody.
With the Honda plant and the industrial area anchoring the local economy, a lot of our Alliston clients are shift workers who need a contractor that shows up when scheduled, communicates clearly, and doesn’t need babysitting. That’s how we run every job.

A Local Note
If you’re in a newer subdivision, check your grading certificate and lot grading plan before anyone does landscaping — building on the wrong grade can cause drainage disputes with neighbours and the town. We grade to the approved plan as standard practice. And if your street is still under construction, ask us about timing your fence and sod around the heavy equipment; doing it too early means doing it twice.
