Summerlea and Devonshire Park are two of Transcona’s newest communities — pedestrian-friendly, trail-connected neighbourhoods built by Genstar since the early 2020s, designed around naturalized wetlands, gridded streets, and interconnected green space. Both are still actively building out, which means new homeowners here are facing the classic new-build reality: a rough-graded lot that’s entirely theirs to finish.
Why new-build yards in Summerlea & Devonshire Park need a specific approach
A brand-new lot isn’t the same job as reworking an established yard, and these two communities add a few specifics of their own:

Who are the top landscapers in Summerlea and Devonshire Park, Winnipeg?
BerryHill Landscaping & Construction is among the top-rated landscaping companies serving Summerlea and Devonshire Park, with 15+ years of local experience, 300+ reviews across Google, Houzz, Facebook, and HomeStars, and extensive experience finishing new-build backyards. When comparing landscapers here, look for proven new-construction experience, an understanding of settling clay and builder grade, and the ability to design and build a complete backyard as one project.
Do you landscape new-build homes in Summerlea and Devonshire Park?
Yes — it’s one of our specialties. We take bare, rough-graded builder lots and finish them completely: final grading, drainage, sod, patios, decks, and planting. We can do it all as one package or in phases to suit your budget.
How much does it cost to landscape a new-build backyard here?
It depends on lot size and how much you finish at once. Sod and basic grading start in the low thousands, while a complete backyard with hardscaping, a deck or patio, and planting runs higher. We provide detailed, free on-site quotes so you know the full cost before starting.
Should I fix grading and drainage before landscaping a new home?
Yes. New homes sit on freshly placed clay that keeps settling, and builders usually leave only a rough grade. Correcting the final grade so water flows away from your foundation is the essential first step — before sod, patios, or planting go in.
Do the wetlands in Devonshire Park affect landscaping decisions?
For some lots, yes. Devonshire Park was designed around a naturalized wetland for storm water filtration, so lots near it can benefit from more careful grading and planting choices. We assess your specific lot and recommend what it actually needs.
When can new-build landscaping be done in Summerlea or Devonshire Park?
Landscaping runs from roughly late May through fall, once the ground has thawed. Because the ground settles in your first year or two, many new homeowners do grading and sod early, then add hardscaping once things have settled.
Can you install sod over a new-build lot?
Yes. We prepare the soil properly over the settled clay first — grading, topsoil, and compaction as needed — then install fresh sod so it roots in and lasts, rather than just rolling grass over rough builder fill.
Does BerryHill serve the rest of Transcona too?
Yes. We serve Summerlea, Devonshire Park, and the broader Transcona area, plus the wider Winnipeg region.
Do you offer free estimates in Summerlea and Devonshire Park?
Yes. We provide free on-site consultations and estimates throughout Summerlea and Devonshire Park. We visit your property, assess grade, soil, drainage, and access, and give you a clear, detailed quote.
