Calgary Landscaping Services

Is your space what you always imagined it to be?

It is nice to come home to a sanctuary you can call your own, after a good days work. A Your Calgary Landscape is the perfect place for that.

Think of the echo of streaming water while sitting on your patio enjoying a warm Calgary Morning, with your family there by your side making the most of your amazing landscape.

Calgary is an interesting place to plan a landscape as we are subject to erratic weather. I think everyone in Calgary has gone outside after a good night's sleep and seen a blanket of snow over their Backyard Landscape in May, June and sometimes even July & August.

Nonetheless, short season is not an issue if you want to create a paradise in your Calgary Landscape.

You can start by looking out over your porch veranda, think it over and decide if Landscaping will fit your budget. Don't bother pursing a landscaping plan if you haven't set your budget because you will be in for some surprises. The landscaping cost will ultimately depend on what you want.

It can be tempting to hire the cheapest landscaper in Calgary, I can assure you that you are asking for trouble if you choose this route when hiring a landscaper.

There is a huge range of quotes generally for the same type of project. This is especially true in Calgary. The boom that Calgary saw over the last few years made it so that almost everyone with a shovel became a landscaper.

An example of this is a few years ago I went to a quote in which a couple needed a giant retaining wall built in the Calgary area. They went ahead and got quotes from about 5 different landscapers. The quotes came in between $16,000.00 and $35,000.00. This is an absolutely enormous range for a landscaping project.

The Calgary couple decided to choose the low end landscaping quote. You can guess what happened. The Landscapers came to the Calgary Couple's house with two shovels and two bodies, they had no machinery and took 4 months to complete a job that any other Calgary Landscaper would have completed in three weeks.

Furthermore, the landscape was not excavated properly as they didn't have the proper landscaping equipment to dig properly. Most Calgary Landscaping companies have in the very least a skid steer. This Calgary Landscaping job required a mini back hoe so that the grade could be excavated down to the clay. For most Calgary Gardener's clay is a nightmare, but in this case, the high levels of clay in Calgary is great sub base for building.

Anyways, back to the couple in Calgary and the two landscapers with shovels. The Landscaper retaining wall was built without taking drainage into account and a short time after the landscaper wall was built a rain storm hit Calgary and caused the landscape wall to split apart.

Though damaged has been done, the Calgary couple were determined to rebuild even the cost became enormous. The Calgary folks spent a few thousand to un build the wall and then spent what it cost to hire a good landscaper in the first place.

Total Cost: alot more than if they would have just hired a Calgary Landscaper to do it right in the first place.

Moral of the story, hire a Calgary landscaper who has references, a solid portfolio and low and behold, DO NOT hire a landscaper that comes in at half the bid price of the rest of the contractors, especially in Calgary.

I wish you success in hiring a Landscaper in Calgary. Just make sure you check the person out before you hire a Calgary Landscaper.
