From Dirt to Design

At Brown & Co., we believe beautiful spaces start from the ground up—literally. What began as a family-owned excavation company has grown into a full-service design and project management studio, rooted in craftsmanship, creativity, and care. Based in Eastern Ontario, we specialize in residential construction, interior styling, and curated home décor. Whether you're breaking ground or adding finishing touches, we’re here to bring your vision to life—seamlessly, thoughtfully, and beautifully.

  • George Brown

    Chief Mess Maker

    Georgie brings endless curiosity, big ideas, and even bigger smiles to the Brown & Co. crew. Whether he’s rearranging throw pillows, testing out the comfiness of sofas, or supervising snack breaks, Georgie keeps the team grounded in what really matters—joy, imagination, and a little bit of mischief. He’s especially passionate about dinosaurs, dirt piles, and choosing the perfect paint colour (usually green). Future foreman? Maybe. For now, he’s our daily dose of fun and inspiration. We could not be more proud.
