Site Assessment and Property Analysis
We visit your property to measure grade changes, note drainage patterns, assess sun exposure, and identify existing features worth keeping.

Our landscape design process covers grading, drainage, sun and shade mapping, and material selection for Calgary properties.


Handle heavy snow loads and wind
Resist warping, rot, and moisture
Provide shade in summer and structure in winter
Last through freeze-thaw cycles with minimal upkeep
A professional landscape designer evaluates your property, measures the space, and creates a scaled plan for your outdoor project. This includes assessing drainage, sun exposure, and soil conditions, then designing layouts for patios, walkways, planting beds, and structures. The finished plan serves as a blueprint that any contractor can follow to build your vision accurately and on budget.
The cost of a landscape design in Calgary depends on property size and project complexity. Smaller residential plans for a single zone like a backyard patio area start at a lower price point, while full-property designs with front and back yards, multiple hardscape zones, and detailed planting plans cost more. All The Moore Landscaping provides a flat-rate quote after the initial site visit so you know the full cost upfront.
A professional landscape design includes a scaled site plan with exact measurements, a material and plant schedule, drainage and grading notes, and phasing recommendations. You also receive elevation drawings and, where helpful, 3D renderings that show what the finished project will look like. These documents give you and your contractor everything needed to build with confidence.
You can sketch ideas on your own, but a professional design accounts for grading, drainage, utility locations, and material compatibility that most homeowners overlook. A proper plan prevents expensive mistakes during construction, like water pooling against your foundation or a patio that settles unevenly. The cost of a design is a fraction of what you would spend fixing problems caused by building without one.
Most residential landscape designs take two to four weeks from the initial site visit to final plan delivery. Larger properties or projects with multiple phases may take longer. We schedule a mid-point review so you can provide feedback before we finalize the design, and we keep you updated on progress throughout the process.
