About Tydan

“We specialize in residential design and I get excited when we meet clients who are open to creativity.  I become inspired when I can educate my clients about the environment and provide them with somewhere functional and beautiful that they can enjoy, just outside their door.  I show them there is a place beyond the office, car, and the interior of their home.”

Paul Rancourt, owner

Since 1998, award winning Tydan Landscape Design has been extending the walls of London, Ontario homes to create outdoor living spaces that reflect and enhance people’s lives.

Family owned and operated by Paul and Anne Marie Rancourt, and their two children, Tyler (the Ty in Tydan) and Danielle (the Dan), the Rancourts are passionate about great design.  Through a personal, interactive process they evaluate the site to see your vision then design a plan appropriate for your lifestyle and budget.

PlanTydan employs experienced staff, seasonal workers, and a construction crew – most of who are graduates from the Fanshawe College Landscape Design program, as is Paul Rancourt.  Using leading industry software, they work with you to create a professional landscape plan for your property, which illustrates all plants, structures, and gardens.  Then they build the project from the ground up with help from their experienced and certified operators for use with chain saws, Bobcats, excavators, and backhoes.  Tydan is onsite to work the project through to completion – to ensure your vision comes to life.

Tydan Landscape Design is renowned for their innovative design and build projects, which includes water gardens, patios, walkways, lighting, and concept gardens. They are recipients of the prestigious Award of Horticultural Excellence from the London Horticultural Society; the 2004 London Home Builders’ Association Award for the Best Concept Display at the Lifestyle Home Show; and were runner ups for the 2001 London Spring Home & Garden Show’s theme garden display, “The Lawnless Garden.”

Tydan Landscape Design has been profiled in the Landscape Ontario Horticultural Review, The London Free Press, and The Ontario Gardener Magazine.  They are active sponsors to many community events and fundraisers.

Member of these professional associations:

The staff at Tydan understood what was required to do and did it with complete attention to detail.  Initially we talked about what it was we wanted and the designer came back with a design that was 95% there…requiring only a little tweaking. 

What impressed me at the start of the job was the attention given to building a strong and well designed infrastructure (foundation) for the pond, retaining wall, and patio. You could tell that there will be little, if any, problems in the future because of the well-built and designed infrastructure.  The job site was always well organized and end of day clean-up was well done demonstrating that they are a professional and well run group.
