Are you having trouble figuring our how much sod you need for a small project or the entire yard at your new home?
Sod is normally sold by the square foot. If you need to calculate the amount of sod your project needs, please visit our web site and use the material calculator on our Sod Page. Use the calculator on the right sidebar and enter in your width and length in feet and set the depth to 1.
You might want to add in a couple of extra feet just in case you need to cut some corners.
The Sheep Foot Packer is probably one of the most interesting pieces of construction equipment found on construction sites around the world. Unlike the smooth drum roller the sheep packer has lots of bumps or knobs that give it its name. Both these rollers are used for compacting material and are most commonly seen on road construction sites where they are used to flatten asphalt.
The sheep’s foot rollers can propelled in many ways but this one is a self contained module and here we are packing and back filling a pump station.

Believe it or not, it’s really easy to eliminate pesky weeds, grass and other growing plants in your rock areas – where you 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!

Stone has been a constant source for building for millennia. When it comes to building a set of stone steps there are a number of things to think about before you start.
First, you should determine what type of stone you are going to use. Whether you use a rough and rugged look or a smooth more sophisticated stone, you want to make sure your decision goes well with the setting taking into consideration how it pairs with topography and buildings.
Now that you have made that decision the layout is the next important thing to consider.
Typically any staircase should conform to standard building practices. 8″ of rise and at least 12″ of run is typical but because of the medium there can be some small discrepancies involved. Try to keep the run short enough to keep it from making it awkward to walk up and down.
Preparation and calculating distances for the rise and run will help you choose the stone you are going to use for each step. Determining the number of steps is critical beforehand.
Find the run distance of the stairs and divide that by the number of steps less one step for the top step and this will tell you if you have enough steps to accomplish your build.
Preparing the base, installing drainage, if needed and compacting the area are just a few more of the steps to getting it right when building stone steps or walkways.

First & foremost, you’ll need to figure out what type of pond you want and what size it’s going to be.
Most water gardens need at least 18-in deep, ponds that hold fish like Koi need to be deeper and if your building something epic you might want to get some advice from a professional like Calgary Landscape Services.
Location
Location is important. Consider visual appeal, whether you need a power source and sun exposure which can affect maintenance required for plants and fish.
If you are building something larger consider accessibility of earth-moving equipment, existing water supplies, the size of the liner if applicable and how to prevent bank erosion.
Water Pump
If yours is not a large standing water pond you will need to find the right pump, which provides proper flow and prevents stagnation and aeration. This will support waterfalls and fish and plant life.
Lighting & Maintenance
For smaller home and backyard ponds you might want to think about lighting and maintenance as well as how to prepare your pond for winter.
Calgary Landscape Services has built ponds large and small with everything from cascading water features to large standing ponds. Call us 403-818-5857 for help with your pond ideas.
