About Don Woudstra – Ocean Stoneworks

With more than 25 years of experience, Don Woudstra has been designing and building landscapes that combine natural beauty with lasting strength. Alongside his wife Geri, Don founded and operated Black Rock Landscapes, one of the most respected landscape design and construction firms in Ontario’s cottage country. Their work transformed lakefront properties with signature craftsmanship and timeless design.

Now living on Nova Scotia’s stunning south shore, Don and Geri have launched their new venture: Ocean Stoneworks. Drawing on decades of experience, they continue to create functional, elegant outdoor spaces that reflect the rugged charm of the coastal landscape.

Ocean Stoneworks specializes in dry-laid stonework—a technique that uses the finest natural materials and time-tested methods to build patios, walls, and features that are not only beautiful but built to last. Each project is engineered to allow natural drainage, helping prevent frost heave and erosion, and ensuring structural integrity for generations. That’s why we proudly offer the best warranty in the industry.

Whether you're reimagining your cottage getaway or enhancing your year-round home, Don and his team are here to help you bring your vision to life—with quality you can trust and results that endure.
