Crushed drain rock has all sorts of applications

Crushed drain rock is natural, angular grey rock most commonly used for backfill and drainage, but ideal for applications of all sorts – residential and commercial.

The images below show our client’s back alley parking pad core which we rebuilt. We began by grading the soil’s surface and then layed compact road gravel and topped with 20mm crushed drain rock as the top layer choice.

Rock is normally sold by the cubic yard. If you need to calculate the amount of rock your project needs, please use our material calculator. All you have to do is enter in your width, length and depth in feet. https://www.calgarylandscapesupplies.ca/rock/

If you have any questions, or need help with your calculations, please feel free to contact Rick at Calgary Landscape Supplies at 403-818-5857. Our rock is available for delivery or pickup.

 

 

Another Canada Day is virtually right around the corner

What are we celebrating anyway?

Canada Day celebrates the birthday of Canada. On July 1, 1867 Canada became a new federation with its own constitution by signing the Constitution Act – formerly known as the British North America Act.

This year we should take a moment to appreciate our country and the unity and strength we have shown during the COVID-19 pandemic. While there have been serious social and economic costs, our adherence to the restrictions put in place have made a difference. Let’s keep it going…

Happy Birthday Canada!

Need help with your fire pit project?

A backyard fire pit is not just a nice addition to your backyard landscape, it creates a lovely retreat on those cool Calgary late summer/fall evenings. A must if you enjoy entertaining and hanging out in the open air making S’mores with family and friends.

To decide on the right design for your fire pit and layout consider how you want to use your it, for example:

  • what are your outdoor entertainment needs?
  • do you want to keep it simple or is fancy brick more your taste?
  • do you want your fire pit to be part of your existing landscape or are you landscaping to highlight your fire pit?
  • will you have lots of outdoor parties or will it mostly be used by your family?

Calgary Landscapes provided the materials and supplies for our client’s attractive and functional fire pit/landscaping project in the image below.

Recycled asphalt better for the environment & your budget!

Here at Calgary Landscape Supplies we supply recycled asphalt 25mm for all sorts of residential, commercial, and industrial paving projects.

One of the best features of recycled asphalt is its durability and longevity making it good for many applications. From driveways, walkways and parking lots, to back alleys, parking pads and pathways, recycled asphalt is an excellent option.

Recycled asphalt makes both economic and environmental sense. It’s less expensive than creating new aggregate mixes every time because it’s so easy to recycle and it’s good for the environment because it’s excavated from old roads, driveways and parking lots, to name a few. This eliminates the need to discard old asphalt in our landfills, which unfortunately remains in the landfills forever if not recycled.

Affordable and an opportunity to do our part for the environment – two pretty good benefits, right?!

In the image below our client is having his parking lot refaced using recycled asphalt.

If you need help calculating how much you’ll need for your recycled asphalt project, please use the material calculator to the right and enter in your width, length and depth in feet or give Calgary Landscape Supplies a call at 403-818-5857. We’d be happy to help.

Inspired to install a new patio this summer?

Whether you’re renovating a patio or building a new one, patios are a great extension of your interior living space and a wonderful way to enjoy outdoor living, from lounging and BBQ’g, to entertaining family and friends.

Preparing a proper base is crucial for any patio project. Rock is available in many different forms and a compacted base of roughly crushed gravel ensures a level, long-lasting patio.

In the images below our client’s patio base is being prepped with road gravel – a sand/gravel mix – which has varying sized stones with sharp edges and makes for easy compaction.

Rock is normally sold by the cubic yard. If you need to calculate the amount of sod your project needs, please use the material calculator to the right and enter in your width, length and depth in feet.

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

This May long weekend will look a little different

With the Victoria Day Weekend approaching, there are still many public health restrictions in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and many businesses and services will be closed.

Unfortunately it won’t be May long weekend cottage life and camping as usual either as all National and Alberta parks are closed to visitors and Parks Canada is recommending to ‘stay home’. If you are planning on heading out, be sure to check your local area rules and regulations beforehand.

Even though our weekend dreams may be dashed, it’s important to remember that these circumstances aren’t forever. There will be many more long weekends ahead to enjoy when safe to do so, and with everyone working together to get through this, hopefully that time isn’t in the too distant future. Let’s do our part and make the best of our uncertain times.

In the meantime, it’s going to be a gorgeous summer-like weekend and the perfect time to consider your yard, gardening and landscaping plans. If you need assistance or have any questions, we’re here to help.

Have a safe and relaxing long weekend.
