Our gardens are about you. Your lifestyle, your interests, your personal style, your home – these are the key elements we consider when we approach each and every garden design. The process is simple: first, we absorb your input and take in your surroundings, then we offer our counsel and design expertise, and, ultimately, we create a beautiful, thoughtfully designed space that reflects who you are, and maintains our aesthetic and craftsmanship standards. It’s a winning proposition. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Founded by partners Andrew Skeoch and Nickolaos Kon, Fossil Landscapes is a boutique landscape design/build firm that is passionate about design and demands quality craftsmanship. Andrew and Nickolaos are the creative forces, project managers and lead craftsmen who see each garden through from beginning to end. It’s a personalized, hands-on approach that ensures you get the very best service and a beautiful garden that we love as much as you do.
Passionate about design, committed to craftsmanship.
Partners Nickolaos Kon and Andrew Skeoch have been creating gardens together since they paired up for their first assignment at Ryerson University’s Landscape Architecture program more than 10 years ago. With Andrew’s strong construction know-how and Nickolaos’s creative edge, it was a match fit for a future of beautiful landscapes. More than a decade and hundreds of projects later, Andrew and Nickolaos’s have evolved into design professionals who fully engage in the construction process.
Designers, project managers and hands-on craftsmen, alike, Nickoloas and Andy have built a boutique landscape design/build firm that truly has a personal stake in each project. Like any skilled craftsman knows, flawless execution is the path to a work of art. Good design, after all, is only realized in the finished product. Nickolaos and Andy guarantee it.

Jill & Dan DevlinI had a particular vision for my backyard garden, which Fossil Landscaping understood and helped make a reality – they were open to my ideas and made some wonderful suggestions. Nick and Andrew and the team are honest, hard working and take pride in doing a good job.
