Calgary Landscaping – A new year, a new time to plan your yard

Snow has melted on the ground; the sun seems to rise up earlier; and the birds are hopping merrily outside. Springtime is finally here!

You look into your yard and realized that it had been a long overdue project for years now. Don’t you think it’s already the right time to do some serious landscaping?

You could do it on your own or call a professional. Either way, you know you have to do something about it.

Don’t fret. Landscaping in Calgary for a decade now has taught us some valuable lessons to consider in creating the ideal landscaping design for your garden.

First things first. You have to understand that people here usually go for the naturalistic style to complement the rocky mountain backdrop of Calgary.

You want to capture the essence of nature in your garden?

Figure out what you want to do with all the hardscape features such us retaining walls, decks and patios, fences and gardens, even the mailbox and the posts. These foundational elements are your first priority.

For example, if you want to build a great-looking patio that would go with the flow of the existing local Calgary surroundings, we recommend you use natural stones or manufactured bricks.

These are the products that are commonly used for building inspiring patios here.

You can check out a local Calgary company called Exporter for the landscape bricks you will need. They have high quality products that we also use for our projects so you can be assured that the bricks will last for a long time.

An excellent type of natural stone we use for our projects is brownish or coppery beige in color. This product is the perfect material to your landscape project. Just visit Kimberly, a town four hours away from Calgary to find it.

If you want to add complexity to your garden design, retaining walls would be great additions. The same materials you used for your patio can also be used here. Stick to your naturalistic style so it can highlight the beauty of the surroundings.

Spring season is the best time to turn your garden into a colorful work of art. Plant flowers and/or vegetables that would suit your landscaping design best.

All of these elements make up the structure of your project.

What I love the most about Calgary Landscapes are the decorative accents that have gained more and more popularity these days. I’m talking about the ponds, waterfalls, lighting and such other elements. They add the sparkle and vivacity to the gardens.

There are skilled builders around the Calgary area that offer their services at an affordable price so take that opportunity to build the most charming focal point in your garden.

After a busy day at work, don’t you just love to hear the rippling sound of water flowing smoothly from the spill stone?

These ornate water features will give you that calm, contented feeling while the sun is going down. What a lovely sight.

You’ll never want to live in another Calgary home without one.

Have fun
