Spring Wake Up Package
Well you've made it through another Calgary winter and your garden is looking unimpressive. The Spring Wake Up Package will get your garden ready for another growing season. Garden beds will be cleaned, trimmed and fertilized so when the sun starts shining and temperatures rise, your plants will be ready to grow.
Packages start at $350 and will depend upon the size of the garden.
Autumn Tuck In Package
Summer has come and gone and now it's time to put your garden to bed. Fall maintenance ensures gardens are ready for winter and do not harbor pests. Flower heads can be removed to ensure they do not go to seed which will result in additional weeding next year (unless you want your flowers to multiply).
Packages start at $350 and will depend upon the size of the garden.
Soil Nutrient Tests
As soil is the foundation for plant growth, nutrient testing is vital prior to implementing a fertilizer management program. Nutrient testing will determine whether a nutrient deficiency or toxicity exists, and provide a starting point for appropriate soil management. pH, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (potash) are analyzed for $10.
Condominiums
Let us work with your budget to ensure your common property has great curb appeal.

Container Gardening
Container gardening creates lovely landscapes utilizing potted plants. A garden can be created anywhere! Container gardens are completely portable allowing unlimited creativity for your patio, deck, balcony, pathway, garden, and front entry. This eye catching feature adds focal points to your yard as well as architectural accents to your home.
There is a greater variety of plants that can be grown in container gardens as they do not need to survive Calgary's harsh winters. Annuals, perennials, tropicals, shrubs, vegetables, herbs, and roses can be grown in pots. Every year you can have a different garden!
Prices are based on the size of planter and do not include the planter or delivery. The cost is $8.50 per one inch diameter of the pot:
For example, a 20" pot is $8.50 x 20 = $170.
