A low-maintenance landscape design in central Alberta emphasizes hardy, native plants that thrive in the region’s climate. These might include drought-tolerant grasses, flowering shrubs like potentilla or spirea, and evergreen trees for winter interest. Hardscaping elements such as rock gardens, pathways, and retaining walls can add visual appeal and reduce the need for weeding and watering. Utilizing mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect plants during harsh winters. The design should also consider sun exposure, soil type, and drainage to ensure the chosen plants will flourish with minimal intervention, providing a beautiful and functional landscape year-round.

New house, new yard and at a loss to know where to start. Lisa-Creative Landscape to our rescue.
Lisa met us in fall to look at our yard and presented us with a complete plan to scale, flowerbeds, shrubs, annuals with names and descriptions. She also offered prices for Creative Landscape to do it or advise on doing it ourselves. The package comes with complete details and layout and preparations to scale.
It has been a priceless benefit to our whole project moving forward. She is willing to adapt, change to any of your ideas. Price is right for your design and input. Looking forward to putting it into motion.
Thanks Lisa.
