The boys go into ‘dock shock’ when they realize replacing their existing lakeside pier is about to cost them dear.   A truly explosive episode, Colin & Justin blow up a quarry of Canadian Shield granite and harvest a giant boulder…which is later sliced ‘like ham’ (wait till you see the stone cutting process!) to create new steps to the shoreline.  But will their big bang theory succeed, or will stormy weather wash away their newly landscaped garden?

With the old dock finding a lovely new owner thanks to Kijiji, the coast is clear to start setting the scene for future summers on the lake.

The new Pipefusion dock and swimming platform create the perfect starting point – let’s just hope those grey skies are not an omen of things to come…

With the dock dressed, it’s time to start soaking up some sunshine!  The outdoor fabrics from Robert Allen provide colour and décor whatever the weather.

Our big bang theory – after exploding granite from a nearby quarry, it’s cut and fashioned into magnificent steps by the Muskoka Rock Company.

The new Muskoka granite slabs are laid in place, turning two hemlock trees into a gorgeous welcoming gateway.

A ring of granite, a fantastic firepit and some serious planting by Water’s Edge create the start of a brighter future for the lake side cottage.

The perfect finishing touch – a row of black Muskoka (or Adirondack) chairs provides a nod to the past but in a very modern colourway.
