Concrete crush — your answer to weed control!

Believe it or not, it’s really easy to eliminate pesky weeds, grass and other growing plants in your rock areas – places you definitely don’t want them.

Don’t bother with things like weed mats that are supposed to keep the weeds out. A really simple fix is to lay a 2 to 3 inch layer of ‘concrete crush’ below your preferred rock topping. The lime in the concrete will kill just about any type of growing plant and your rock area will look great for years to come!

If the idea of dousing your yard or rock areas with chemicals makes you cringe, don’t fret over it. Give us a call at 403-818-5857 and we’ll answer all your questions about options for weed control besides nasty chemicals. We look forward to working with you to bring your landscaping project to life.

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?

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.
