Landscaping Edmonton
Final grading, sod, retaining walls, and design for homes and businesses across Edmonton, from new builds in Windermere and Secord to established yards in Riverbend and Terwillegar.
Edmonton landscaping projects usually fall into two categories: new build yard completion that needs grading and sod done in the right order, and established yards where drainage, lawns, or hardscape have stopped performing. Either way, the goal is the same, build the base correctly so the finish work lasts.
Start Here: Edmonton Yards
If your lot is unfinished or your grading window is getting tight, drainage and elevation come first. Skipping that step (or getting it wrong) creates rework later. Clay soil drains poorly and compacts unevenly, so base prep and slope verification matter.
Our sequence is consistent: site walk, final grading in Edmonton to meet City requirements under Drainage Bylaw 18093, then sod installation. Patios, retaining walls, and walkways follow in the same phase or later depending on budget and timing.
Edmonton final grade approval is tied to drainage compliance. We plan the sequence up front so timelines do not surprise you after sod is already down.
Service Highlights
Final Grading
Final grading in Edmonton is the foundation everything else depends on. We shape and compact to correct elevations, protect swales, and verify slope away from the foundation so drainage holds after the first season.
Sod Installation
Sod installation in Edmonton follows grading so the lawn establishes evenly. The difference between sod that lasts and sod that fails is usually what happened underneath.
Hardscaping (Paving Stones and Retaining Walls)
Retaining walls and paving stones only perform as well as the base beneath them. We excavate and compact properly because Edmonton freeze-thaw will expose shortcuts fast.
Artificial Turf, Fences, and Decks
Artificial turf and fences and decks round out the yard for homeowners who want a finished outdoor space with less maintenance.
Lawn Maintenance
Lawn maintenance provides regular mowing, edging, and trimming so your Edmonton lawn stays healthy and consistent season to season.
Snow Removal
Snow removal includes residential and commercial snow clearing for Edmonton driveways and walkways. Seasonal contracts and per-visit options available.

Common Landscaping Projects
New build projects typically start with final grading and sod, with patios or planting added later. Established property projects more often focus on drainage corrections, lawn replacement, and patio upgrades. Every quote is based on actual site conditions, not package pricing.
Booking and Timing in Edmonton
Spring and early summer fill quickly for grading and sod. Booking in March or April secures preferred dates for new build work. Established yard projects and patios can often be scheduled within one to two weeks depending on the season.
When final grading is involved, we coordinate around City of Edmonton timelines so your certificate processes without delay. Final grade is typically initiated within one year of rough grade approval, and we keep the sequence on track so deadlines do not catch you off guard.

Questions About Edmonton Landscaping?
Quick answers to common questions we hear from Edmonton homeowners and property managers.

This involves a certificate from an Alberta Land Surveyor confirming your lot meets the approved grading plan. We coordinate that process and can move directly into sod or hardscape once approval clears.
The City will issue deficiencies that need to be corrected before the certificate is issued. We cover re-inspection as part of our process so you're not paying twice if the City flags something after we've finished the work.
Yes, and that's usually the most efficient approach. We complete final grading, verify elevations and slope, then move directly into sod installation. Combining both phases in one visit reduces mobilization cost and gets your yard finished faster.
As early as possible. Spring books out fast. March and April bookings often fill by February. If you have a rough grade approval in hand or know your completion window, contact us and we'll hold a spot in the schedule.
Both. Established yard work (lawn replacement, patio upgrades, drainage corrections, retaining walls) makes up a significant part of our Edmonton work. If your yard has drainage issues or needs a refresh, we'd be glad to take a look.
