Rising Costs of Landscaping Projects Across Alberta

10 Budget-Friendly Landscaping Ideas for Calgary Homeowners
You might think, “I can handle the digging myself.” But here’s why hiring a professional team like A Green Future—who handles these checks automatically—makes a huge difference:
1. Use Native Plants to Cut Water and Maintenance Costs
Native plants like prairie crocus, buffalo grass, and blue grama thrive in Calgary's climate, requiring less water and maintenance. This aligns with xeriscaping principles, conserving water and reducing long-term costs.
2. Choose Mulch Over Grass for Cost and Curb Appeal
Mulch beds reduce watering needs and suppress weeds, enhancing curb appeal. Opt for organic mulch for soil enrichment or rubber mulch for durability.
3. Add Gravel or Rock Beds Instead of Expensive Sod
Gravel or rock beds, featuring rundle rock or river rock, offer a modern, affordable, and low-maintenance alternative to sod, perfect for Calgary’s climate.
4. Build DIY Pathways with Reclaimed Pavers or Stepping Stones
Reclaimed pavers or stepping stones are eco-friendly and cost-effective. A Green Future can assist with planning and installation to ensure durability and aesthetic appeal.
