Isle Group of Companies
Garden Designers in Alberta
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 18, 2014
“Brian Macarthur, owner of Green Isle Landscaping came highly recommended by friends. Brian is easy to talk to, knowledgeable and professional. We talked about my ideas and his recommendations so that the design evolved organically until our new yard, front and back, was complete. The entire project, which was for a newly built home, included landscaping, fencing, raised garden beds, sod and plants, stone work, irrigation and low-voltage lighting among other things. Young workers were polite to me and to each other and worked happily, even though most of the time temperatures were over 30 C. Brian and his two sons were involved daily from start to finish. The cost was fair and the quality is wonderful. We are getting frequent compliments from neighbors, friends and family.”

Your Space By Design
Garden Designers in Alberta
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 27, 2013
“We used "your space by design" to design both our front and back yards. Katherine was professional and fun to work with. She first listened to how we envisioned using each space. She asked what we liked or did not like with respect to plants and our expected level of garden maintenance long term. Her proposal for the outdoor entertainment area including components such as an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, outdoor cafe area and mood lighting was superb. She quickly understood our needs and blended various, almost competing requests into one completely beautiful and original design. We did not change a thing from the initial design presented. We have already very willingly recommended her to others!”
Park Landscaping Ltd.
Garden Designers in Alberta
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsAugust 8, 2016
“Park landscaping did a fairly large project for us. They did excellent work and we found their staff to be reliable and personable. They showed up each day and put in a full day of work. Over time we encountered a few issues and Park came out to make repairs without any issues. We will hire them again.”
Modern Earth Landscaping Ltd
Garden Designers in Alberta
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 5, 2017
“Modern Earth landscaped our entire property in the summer of 2015. Karl Jesske and his team had a blank canvas to work with as our property was brand new. We started with a wish list of ideas. Karl took those ideas and implemented them in a 3D landscape design. What he came up with far exceeded our expectations. We did not change a thing on that initial design. It was perfect. The 3D design gave us a very clear picture of what to expect. We could clearly envision what the yard would look like in the end. After several weeks of hard work, the landscaping came to life and WOW! The end result was so true to the 3D design. We were extremely happy with everything. It was exceptional work completed by a hard working and talented crew. We couldn't be more proud to show the yard off and thoroughly enjoy. We are also impressed with the after care, as Karl follows up with any questions and needs we may have on the ongoing care and maintenance of the yard. Karl is great to work with and we highly recommend his company for your landscaping needs. Truly the best landscaping company out there. Chris & Maria”

Landscape Architect or Designer FAQs
The duration varies based on the projectʼs complexity and size. A small to medium-sized garden might take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months, from initial consultation to completed installation. Larger projects, especially those requiring significant structural changes, could take several months. A detailed timeline should be discussed with your garden designer early in the process.
Garden Designers select materials based on the siteʼs conditions, the projectʼs budget, and aesthetic goals. They consider the sustainability, durability, and maintenance requirements of materials. Staying informed about the latest trends through professional development courses, industry publications, and networking with peers ensures that designers can offer contemporary and innovative designs that still meet the timeless principles of garden design.
Homeowners should identify their needs, preferences, and budgets before consulting with a garden designer. Collecting inspirational images or creating a mood board can help convey your vision. Additionally, understanding your gardenʼs conditions, such as soil type and sun exposure, and having an idea of desired plants or features, prepares you for a more productive initial consultation.
Common challenges, like poor soil, limited space, or awkward layouts, are addressed through innovative solutions. Designers might amend the soil, introduce raised beds for better drainage, utilize vertical planting for small spaces, or create focal points to distract from less appealing areas. Their expertise allows for creative problem-solving that blends functionality with beauty.
Yes, Garden Designers often implement sustainability practices such as selecting native plants that require less water and are more resistant to pests, implementing rainwater harvesting systems, using permeable paving materials to improve water absorption, and employing organic gardening practices. These approaches contribute to creating environmentally responsible gardens that are both beautiful and sustainable.
Garden Designers can certainly work with existing landscapes to enhance or completely transform them. This can involve redefining spaces, introducing new plant species, and incorporating new features while retaining elements that work well. Working with an existing garden often requires a keen eye for potential and creativity to integrate the new with the old seamlessly.
