What does the landscape design process involve?
Our landscape design process starts with an on-site consultation where we assess your property, discuss your vision, and review your budget. From there, we create a concept plan, refine it based on your feedback, and deliver detailed construction drawings with plant schedules, grading plans, and material specifications.
How much does landscape design cost in Edmonton?
Landscape design fees in Edmonton typically range from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on the property size and project complexity. A basic residential design starts around $1,500, while comprehensive plans with 3D renderings and phased implementation details are on the higher end. The design fee is often credited toward the installation cost.
How long does it take to complete a landscape design?
Most residential landscape designs take 2 to 4 weeks from the initial consultation to final drawings. Larger or more complex commercial projects may take 4 to 8 weeks. Timelines can vary based on revision rounds and the level of detail required.
Do you design for Edmonton's climate and growing conditions?
Absolutely. Every design we create accounts for Edmonton's Zone 3b/4a hardiness, freeze-thaw cycles, snow load, drainage patterns, and sun exposure. We select plants, trees, and materials proven to thrive in Alberta's climate so your landscape looks great year after year.
Do I need a permit for landscaping in Edmonton?
Standard landscaping such as garden beds, sod, and planting typically does not require a permit. However, retaining walls over a certain height, decks, pergolas, and structures near property lines may require development or building permits from the City of Edmonton. We handle permit research as part of our design process.
Will you help with ongoing maintenance after the design is installed?
Yes. We provide a detailed maintenance guide with every design so you know exactly how to care for your new landscape. We also offer seasonal maintenance packages that include spring cleanup, fertilization, pruning, and fall winterization to keep everything looking its best.
