It’s not too late to book an order!

It’s definitely not too late to get in another small landscaping project this fall, especially with the lovely forecast ahead. It’s amazing what you can do in a small space and with a bit of dirt and rock. You can literally change your drab, dry patch of grass to an attractive feature area in as much as a morning’s work.

This photo shows just how little you would need to create a stone feature in the front of your home with just 1 yard of 40mm of rundle rock and 1.5 yards of rec concrete.

Our garden/landscape supplies and materials are available for pickup or can be dropped off at your convenience without social contact.

If you have any questions, need a little advice, or even help with your calculations, please feel free to contact Rick at Calgary Landscape Supplies at 403-818-5857.

DIY Fall Lawn Care

The best way to ensure you have a healthy and beautiful lawn next spring is to do your maintenance now! When it comes to lawn care fall is the time to fertilize, and even re-sod, if you want to start from scratch! The weather is cooler and the grass has time to put down strong roots for winter.

Calgary Landscape Supplies has plenty of product on hand and the expertise to recommend all the necessary steps to a lawn you’ll love in the spring!

Your garden/landscape supplies and materials can be dropped off at your convenience without social contact.

If you decide to sod/re-sod and you’re not 100% sure how much sod your project requires, please experiment with our material calculator or simply give us a shout. Sod is normally sold by the square foot. Tip: you may want to add a few additional feet just in case you have a few corners to cut.

Early fall fertilizing

Repair and thicken up in the fall after going through the stresses of summer

Having your lawn fertilized late in the fall can actually help encourage a healthy spring lawn. Our lawns are in constant need of care even when they are dormant. Fertilizing in late fall will provide nutrients to the grass over the wintertime. These nutrients activate immediately in the spring helping the lawn grow quickly out of dormancy.

Not only that, wintertime also brings some lawn diseases such as snow mold, fairy ring and necrotic ring spot. Fertilizing in the fall will usually prevent these from invading your lawn.

Thinking about using sandstone as a garden border?

Sandstone is extremely versatile and can really enhance and add beauty to your property. It is composed of quartz or feldspar and because they are the most resistant minerals to weathering processes sandstone is long-lasting.

It is commonly used for outdoor building projects such as garden walls, pathways, patio surfaces, stepping stones, and garden edges and borders.

The large garden beds in the images below will be surrounded for years with a beautiful sandstone border.

If you have a sandstone project in mind, give us a call at 403-818-5857. We’re happy to discuss your ideas and answer all your questions.

Which type of soil is the best for your gardening needs?

Landscaping soil, also known as topsoil or garden soil, is a natural soil perfect for gardening as it is rich in nutrients. It is found in the ground and can be mixed with other ingredients to promote healthy plant growth.

Consider the types of plants you want to have in your garden as different plants thrive in different soils. It is important to learn which type of soil is the best for your specific gardening needs as each type of soil has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Not too late to love your lawn this summer

Has your lawn been struggling? Have you tried just about everything?

Working hard on your lawn but not getting the expected results can be so frustrating. Maybe the best option is to re-sod. It’s the quickest way to a stunning “instant” lawn.

But you don’t have the inclination to lay it yourself? Calgary Landscapes can help. We have the experience and expertise to do the installation for you. Landscape supplies and materials will be dropped off and we’ll get to work!

Even with warmer temperatures during the summer months, sod can still be successfully laid. It’s important that the area to be sodded is prepared and of course it will require a little more watering. Calgary Landscape Supplies offers quality all-purpose sod that works well in most areas.

If you’re not 100% sure how much sod your project requires, please experiment with our material calculator or simply give us a shout. Sod is normally sold by the square foot. Tip: you may want to add a few additional feet just in case you have a few corners to cut.

Does your landscaping need a lift?

At Calgary Landscape Supplies we’re love the satisfaction our clients’ get from beautifying and rejuvenating their landscapes.

Rock and mulch are normally sold by the cubic yard. If you need help calculating the amount your project needs, or if you have any questions please feel free to contact Rick at your convenience at 403-818-5857.

In the images below we laid 20mm rock on our client’s drive – placed the sandstone, and laid mulch in the beds – which really added beauty and enhanced the property.

 

Does your property need a facelift?

Decorative river rock is extremely popular and has so many functions. From ground covers, accents in garden beds, decorative borders, to driveway and home borders and cleaning up water run-off areas, river rock is very versatile.

River rocks have been smoothed by flowing water and don’t decompose so they don’t need to be replaced each season making it an affordable option.

Check out the images below of one of our recent landscaping projects – you can see how 3″ river rock and premium sod can instantly enhance the curb appeal of your home.

Calgary Landscape Supplies is here to answer all your questions. Give us a call today at 403-818-5857. We look forward to working with you to bring your landscaping project to life!
