Site Planning Companies in Calgary

“We have hired The Landscape Artist for 3 Projects in the last 10+ years. Their designs are beautiful! The layout takes into account the location, the sun, the views and the plantings are chosen to be long lasting for the Calgary environment. The management and team are professional, knowledgeable and detailed. The onsite crews were respectful and maintained a clean and safe worksite. I would recommend The Landscape Artist to anyone planning a new project or add on to an existing yard.”

“Kelly provided us with a lovely design for our yard, in a reasonable time frame, at a reasonable cost. She also arranged our landscaping installation and was on site regularly to ensure everything was proceeding as planned and to help make changes along the way. Kelly is very talented, knowledgable and great to work with. I would, though, do your homework on the vegetation she chooses. We did lose some of our trees and perennials to the local hare population over the first winter and spring, a costly thing since animal damage is not covered by the landscapers warranty, and have another perennial not thriving, likely due to not enough sunlight. I would definitely recommend Sustainable Landscapes for your landscape design.”

“I had Ananda Landscapes totally redo my entire outdoor space, front, back and sides, in 2015. A retaining wall was taken down and rebuilt right at the back of my lot. My backyard now has no grass. Instead I have a pond featuring 3 bubbling rocks and a small drop feature where water flows to a lower pool. The stones chosen have interesting fossils in them. The robins love taking a bath from the pond and sipping water from the rocks. I have a gas fire bowl that is under an existing tree with seating around. A second feature tree, a Mountain Ash was also planted and I can't wait for the cedar waxwings to flock to that in the winter. There are flagstones with creeping thyme and other low ground cover planted between them. Then there are beds of shrubs and perennials. The perennials have taken off over the summer. Maintenance has been easy. It is now a joy to spend time in my backyard and taking 15 minutes or so every week to pluck any weeds coming up through the mulch on the beds has been all that is required to keep the backyard tidy. We installed a bird house and a tree swallow pair immediately took up residence. The sides of the house were terraced with steps and shrubs. That was always an area that I hated to mow and now it is a nice transition from front to back. The hydrangea shrubs gave loads of blossoms to bring into the house. The front of the house we increased the foundation planting to reach out from the house. This is where my only grass on the lot is now. It only takes about 10 minutes to mow. I can run one side of the mower along the curb edging around the garden beds eliminating the need for edge trimming. Throughout this complete redo of my landscaping the crew working on my lot was friendly and a pleasure to have on site. They worked diligently and quickly. We were blessed with good weather and the entire job was completed in 6 weeks. Ron and Jennifer were quick to reply to any questions or concerns I had. Over the summer, I had a couple of small things crop up and they responded quickly. In the fall when I wasn't quite sure how to winterise the pond Jeff, a foreman, came by to sort me out. I enjoyed working with Ron and Jennifer over the winter on the design so that all would be ready to start first thing in the spring. I have included some photos but they were taken early in the summer and don't really show how well everything has come in. I look forward to year 2 when I expect things will fill in even more.”
