Spring is just around the corner – it must be, because it’s already time for  The Home and Garden Show.

Make sure you stop by to see us at Booth #1021, in Hall D.  We’ve put together some awesome offers just for the show, and we’re featuring some exciting plant materials.

This year’s show is at the Stampede grounds from Thursday 23rd to Sunday 26th of February.

See you there!

and we’re looking forward to another great landscaping season, although we’re really hoping the weather will cooperate a little better than it did last year!

20 Years in Calgary

This year we’re particularly excited as we’re celebrating 20 years of landscaping in Calgary, and we’ve put together some great deals

Happy Stampeding!

The weather is awesome, and we’re off to a royal start for the Calgary Stampede 2011.  To celebrate, we’re offering a free shrub* to all our new landscaping clients.

Just say “YAHOO!” when you phone or email for an estimate during stampede, and receive a free shrub with your landscaping project.

(*The variety of shrub will depend on availability but will be a 2-gallon dogwood, potentilla or equivalent.)

So, call 403-279-9791 this week, or email tarance@greentreelandscapes.com.  And remember to say “Yahoo!”

When you start your landscaping project with a professionally drafted landscape design, you’re setting yourself up to be delighted with the end result.

It’s a great way to establish what you’re getting, and avoid any last-minute surprises, for many reasons:

• When you see everything laid down on paper it is much easier for you to get an accurate idea of what your landscape contractor is proposing
• Without the accurate measurements built into the design, it can be very easy to miscalculate what will actually fit where, or how landscape elements will scale within your space
• Your designer will detail exactly what elements or features fit into each space, and will calculate precisely what materials will be required
• When there is a design in place, every member of the landscape construction team knows exactly what has to go where, and the project will always stay in line with your vision

So, except in the simplest of project, it always makes sense to start with a tightly defined design and a clear vision that is shared by everyone.

Call Tarance today on 403-279-9791, or send an email to ask about professional landscape design and construction services.

The weather man is telling us that this wet spring will last throughout June, and be followed by a hot, dry July and August.

Let’s hope that’s true, because I think we’re all ready to get out and enjoy some sunshine.

It’s also good news for those planning their landscaping for this month.  This damp, cool weather provides the perfect conditions for new plants to acclimatize, and means you won’t have to do too much watering (always a good thing!).  Then when the summer finally hits in July, you’ll be praising your own foresight as you sit outside enjoying your beautiful new yard.

The spring is booking up fast, so call now if you don’t want to miss out – 403-279-9791, or drop us an email.
