We Design and Build Outdoor Spaces

Since 2007, 5 Minutes Away has grown from a small concrete crew into a full design-build landscaping company. Today we reshape whole properties: re-grading yards, building stone patios and steps, paving driveways and turning plain backyards and front yards into spaces you are proud of.

  • Interlock & natural stone
  • Grading & re-levelling
  • Driveways of every type
  • Decks, fences & sod
  • AI design concepts

From AI Concept to Finished Build

Send a few photos of your yard. We turn them into design concepts, refine the one you love with real measurements and materials, then our crew builds it.
