Why Clearview Homeowners Call GDS
Clearview Township stretches from the pretty streets of Creemore to the growing town of Stayner, with the Niagara Escarpment rising along its western edge. It’s a township of contrasts: century farmhouses on concession roads, newer subdivisions in Stayner, and rural properties where the backyard is measured in acres. GDS Landscaping and General Contracting builds the outdoor spaces and interior renovations Clearview homeowners ask for — work that suits both a heritage main street and a country acreage.
The older housing stock defines a lot of our work here. Creemore’s beautiful old homes and the farmhouses scattered through the township come with stone foundations, old wells, and yards that have been evolving for a hundred years. We do full-property renewals: regrading around old foundations, new interlocking walkways and patios, retaining walls for sloped escarpment-edge lots, and fences that suit a heritage property. Inside, these homes often need the lower level finished or the basement dried out — we handle basement renovations and exterior waterproofing too.
In Stayner, the story is growth — new subdivisions where builders leave rough-graded lots and mud. We do complete new-build packages: final grading, sod, interlocking, fences, and planting beds, all from one contractor. And on the rural properties, where lots back onto the escarpment or open farmland, we build long driveways, privacy plantings, and landscape lighting, plus drainage that handles spring runoff off the high ground.

A Local Note
If your property sits near the escarpment, plan for water — spring runoff off the high ground is the number one issue we fix in Clearview. Get the grading and drainage assessed before you invest in patios or sod. And for the township’s older farmhouses, check the foundation drainage before any interior finishing: a dry basement starts outside.
