Landscaping Edmonton
Final grading, sod, retaining walls, and design for homes and businesses in Edmonton.
Most Edmonton landscaping projects start on unfinished new-build lots in Secord, McConachie, Heritage Valley, and Windermere. These yards usually need final grading, sod installation, and phased hardscape work before they are fully usable.
Our process starts with final grading in Edmonton so drainage is correct and City requirements are met, including standards under the City of Edmonton Drainage Bylaw 18093. Then we install fresh sod and add patios or walkways in the same phase or later.
In established neighbourhoods, we handle lawn replacement, patio upgrades, and targeted renovations. Serene Landscaping in Edmonton provides clear pricing, defined scope, and clean finishing.
Start Here: Edmonton Yards
If your lot is still unfinished or your grading window is getting tight, the first priority is getting drainage and elevations right.
The biggest delays usually happen when slope and swale details are left too late, then sod or hardscape has to be redone.
We typically start with a site walk, complete final grading in Edmonton, then move into sod installation. Patios, walkways, or retaining walls can be built in the same scope or phased in later.
Edmonton final grade approval is tied to drainage compliance, so rough-grade timing and final submission deadlines need to be planned from day one.
Book an Edmonton site visit and we will send a written scope with clear timing options.

Recent Project Examples
Recent work includes a full yard completion in Secord with final grading, sod, garden beds, and mulch, plus phased work in Heritage Valley where grading and sod came first and patios were added later. We also completed lawn replacement and patio upgrades in established areas once drainage was corrected.
Neighbourhood Coverage
We serve north, south, west, and central Edmonton including Riverbend, Terwillegar, Windermere, Secord, McConachie, Heritage Valley, Rosenthal, and Summerside. We plan access, staging, and cleanup so projects stay organized.
Phased Builds That Stay Organized
Many homeowners complete their yard in phases. We can start with grading and sod, then return for patios, walkways, or planting once budgets and schedules allow.
Built for Local Conditions
Local soils and drainage patterns require proper prep so grading, base work, and sod hold up season after season.

Where We Work
Serving Edmonton as the primary service area, with St. Albert and Sherwood Park as key areas. We typically schedule site visits within a few days of your request and provide written quotes within 24 hours.
Booking and Timing in Edmonton
Spring and early summer fill quickly for grading and sod. Booking in March or April helps secure preferred dates for new build work. Established yard work and patio projects can often be scheduled with a week or two of notice depending on the season. We coordinate around City of Edmonton inspection timelines when final grading is involved so your certificate is processed without delay.
In Edmonton, property owners are responsible for rough and final grade compliance, even when builders or landscapers coordinate survey work. Final grade is typically initiated within one year of rough grade approval, with additional timing limits tied to completion and permit timelines. We help keep that sequence on track.
What to Expect From Your Quote
Every quote includes scope, materials, and labour. You will see line items for grading, topsoil, sod, base material, and pavers when applicable. We do not charge for the initial site visit or written estimate. If scope changes on site, we review it with you before extra work starts.
