Award winning gardens for over 15 years!
Queen Beez has been creating beautiful, award winning gardens for over 20 years!
We design gardens from inception to completion and approach each property as a unique green space, pushing trends forward. Each project has its own site-specific environment of sunlight, shade, form, function, texture and space.
Master Plans
Architectural drawings for visualization of large Landscape projects. These long term plans depict where your stonework (hardscape) and soft-scape (gardens) placements will be a architecturally. We organize with a strategy for your greenspace; inclusive to architectural layouts for short or long-term building + planning stages.
Artist’s Drawings and Visual Layouts
These design plans are drafted in-house, comprehensive and to-scale for your landscape project. We also offer an ‘Ideations page’ for clarity to visualize the elements of your outdoor room.

FUN Facts
A green roof designed well offers an abundance of benefits. Projects involving perennials with the ability to clean “grey water”(dirty storm water) or, retain rainwater for rooftop perennials are just a few examples. These important contributions for cooling our environments are referred to as “ The Heat Island Effect” within the GTA.
This natural cooling effect, much like a forest, provides beneficial energy conservation for the architectural building they are installed on. Retrofit garages, garden sheds, and newly developed modern homes are ideal for green roofs!
MYTH 1: Green roofs don’t require maintenance once established.
This is a myth, regular maintenance is essential 3-4 times a year, and especially in the first year of establishing plants; it is necessary to keep weeds from invading and filters clogging. Depending on the size of the green roof, regular maintenance and soil testing will ensure the value of the green roof while sustaining the plant diversity.
MYTH 2: Green roofs do not require irrigation systems.
Common Myth for rooftop gardens (sedum roofs or intensive types). Irrigation is essential due to unseasonal drought and climate conditions. This affects rooftop plants especially, due to higher winds at elevated heights, irrigation is necessary for soil solutions to release nutrients into custom soils for plant uptake and vitality.
MYTH 3: All green roofs can be maintained by anyone.
This myth is a common reason why many green roofs have turn into ‘brown roofs’. Regular maintenance + monitoring of plant vitality, weed + pest scouting and nutrient testing are necessary to sustainability. Installation and maintenance of rooftop gardens must be competently monitored by knowledgable GRP’s (GRP/green roof professional) to avoid green roof die-off’s and retain the value and integrity of all rooftop garden types.
Green roofs with access for people offer us a calming environment. A place to recharge. To admire Art with nature… The most common benefit of a green roof is the ability to dampen the echo chambers of urban traffic environments with the added effects of filtering and cooling the air while providing a green space to recharge, offering our ever growing urban centres a sustainable balance for future dwellers.

Landscape Lighting + Irrigation
What We Do
Queen Beez offers professional landscape lighting and in-ground irrigation service professionals.
Irrigation is the investment for all landscapes from lawns to xeriscapes…scheduled watering works to sustain new and established gardens. Trees surrounding residential or commercial areas benefit from zoned areas that distribute water, especially high pedestrian tree lines. Drought causes trees stress, inviting pests and weakening large tree specimens. Climate change and our urban tree coverage is of extreme importance, watering them will protect and cool the air we breath and cool our city’s “Urban Heat Island” effects.
Irrigation of your “city tree” will improve its vitality, deter pests and help clean the urban city air we breathe into the future.
FUN Facts
Regular irrigation routines have proven results when managed well for your landscape requirements.
- In-ground irrigation systems saves time and water consumption. Due to scheduled timing of when irrigation is distributed, the water is able to percolate into the soil without loss to evaporation.
- Improved plant+lawn growth and vitality with water to root saturation levels increased
- easy to maintain, affordable, deters pests and drought related issues
