Custom Landscape Design in Edmonton

Beautiful, Functional Yards Built for Edmonton's Tough Climate

Whether you're a new homeowner that’s ready to turn that blank canvas (post-final grading!) into your dream outdoor space, or you're updating an older yard in Glenora, I love helping families create landscapes that look amazing and stand up to our extreme winters, short summers, and heavy clay soils.

We don't do cookie-cutter designs. Every plan is custom-created for your lot, lifestyle, budget, and our unique Edmonton challenges—like freeze-thaw cycles, drought periods, and those windy Chinooks.

Why Choose Professional Landscape Design?

A thoughtful design is the foundation of a successful project. Skipping it often leads to costly fixes later (poor drainage, dead plants, wasted space). With our designs, you get:

  • Cold-hardy, low-maintenance plants that thrive here (think Saskatchewan-friendly perennials, native grasses, hardy shrubs like potentilla or ninebark)

  • Practical features for Edmonton living: fire pits for cool evenings, durable patios for entertaining, xeriscaping to save water during dry spells

  • Year-round appeal: Evergreens and structural elements that keep your yard interesting even under snow

  • Proper soil prep & drainage: We account for our clay-heavy soils and ensure water flows away from your foundation

Our Landscape Design Process (Simple & Collaborative)

  • Geometric drawing of an outline square with sections divided by vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines.

    1. Initial Consultation

    We start with a no-pressure chat (phone, email, or on-site visit). Tell me about your vision—family-friendly play areas, low-maintenance xeriscape, vegetable gardens, or a stunning front entrance?

  • Geometric drawing of an outline square with sections divided by vertical, horizontal, and half circle lines.

    2. Site Visit & Measurement

    I come to your property to assess soil, sun exposure, slopes, existing features, and City requirements. This is key in Edmonton—every neighborhood has different drainage rules!

  • Geometric drawing of an outline square with sections divided by vertical, horizontal, and circle lines.

    4. Review & Refinements

    We tweak until it's perfect for you—no limit on revisions.
