Landscaping costs in Calgary vary based on project scope, materials, and property size. A basic front yard refresh with sod and garden beds may start around a few thousand dollars, while a full backyard build with a patio, retaining walls, and plantings can range significantly higher. We provide free on-site estimates with a detailed breakdown so you know exactly where every dollar goes before work begins.
Most residential landscaping projects in Calgary take between two and six weeks from groundbreaking to final walkthrough. Smaller jobs like sod installation or a single garden bed may wrap up in a few days. Larger multi-phase builds that include hardscaping, wood structures, and planting can extend further. Weather and permit timelines also affect scheduling during Calgary’s shorter building season.
The ideal window for landscaping in Calgary runs from late April through October. Spring and early summer offer the best conditions for sod establishment and planting. Hardscaping and wood construction can continue into fall as long as ground conditions allow excavation. We recommend booking your consultation early in the season since crews fill up fast once the frost clears.
Some landscaping projects in Calgary require permits from the City. Retaining walls over a certain height, structures near property lines, and grading changes that affect drainage often need approval. Decks and pergolas may also require permits depending on size and setback. Our team handles permit research for every project and advises you on what applies before work begins.
Look for a company that manages the full project rather than subcontracting pieces to separate trades. Ask about base preparation methods, material sourcing, drainage planning, and warranty coverage. A reputable Calgary landscaping company should provide a written scope with material specifications, a fixed timeline, and references from past clients in your area.
A landscape design helps establish the layout, material palette, and grading plan before construction starts. It prevents costly changes mid-build and ensures every feature fits together. All The Moore Landscaping offers integrated design and build services, so you can get your full plan and construction handled by one team.
