For this project we teamed up with City Gardens to give this yard an updated look. Our planting plan will fill in as the years progress to really show off the mass block plantings of grasses, bright shrubs and evergreens.

Saskatchewan Crescent is known for its beautiful homes and lush landscapes. After wrapping up a custom renovation on their home, our clients asked us to revive the landscaping that had been home to the construction zone.

The challenge was formidable. How to make this space, which is surrounded by a park on two sides plus a busy roadway and sidewalk on one side, feel cosy and secluded. It will take time for the trees and shrubs to establish but as they do this space will cocoon itself into the secret garden we were aiming for.

We feel incredibly fortunate when clients trust us to transform their private outdoor spaces—places where memories with family and friends will blossom. These clients, originally from New York, wanted to infuse their yard with a classic New England charm through timeless brickwork. The design needed to balance functionality with atmosphere: a dining area for hosting, a cozy fire pit for gathering, and meandering pathways to encourage exploration—all while softening the property’s original linear layout. The talented Dillan of Brick by Brick YXE brought warmth to the space with Unilock’s Town Hall Pavers in Old Oak, while Travis from Lost River Timber expertly reshaped the terrain. The crowning touch? Brandon of Black Crow Carpentry crafted a stunning custom deck that seamlessly connects the home to this inviting new retreat.

We love helping clients refresh their outdoor spaces, and this collaboration with City Gardens was no exception! Our design features mass plantings of grasses, shrubs, and evergreens that will mature beautifully over time. We started with nutrient-rich compost and mulch, then Chris Irrigation installed a precision automated system – because proper watering is key to a truly low-maintenance yard (those old fan sprinklers just can't compare!). Trust us, investing in smart irrigation makes all the difference for a landscape that thrives effortlessly.

This project left me absolutely inspired! When our visionary client asked if we could create a living succulent wall, I knew we could make it happen—thanks to guidance from Laura Eubanks' stunning designs and Darrel from Driven Industries, who crafted the perfect custom frame. Samantha (now of Highbush Floral) nailed the installation (after some brilliant trial and error!), and now the thriving succulent wall winters indoors, eagerly awaiting its summer return. A true testament to collaboration, creativity, and bold ideas brought to life!

It was an honor to collaborate with Manolis of Saskatoon's beloved Manos restaurant on their stunning patio garden. Their newly renovated space features deep, insulated raised beds—a clever solution for overwintering perennials in our climate. We planted hardy Catmint, Sedum, and Sempervivum alongside lush annuals like Mangaves and Swedish Ivy, while grape vines will soon climb the trellis, creating a vibrant oasis for diners to enjoy. A perfect blend of beauty and practicality for this iconic Saskatoon eatery!

We love when clients reach out with the specific request to bring native plants into their yard to support the local insect population! We knew we wanted to build something close up to the front of the house and bring some height to a completely flat front yard.

This project holds deep meaning for us—when longtime clients asked us to landscape a section of their community cemetery, we approached it with heartfelt care. We selected mature B&B trees from Lakeshore Tree Farm (including Spring Snow Crabapples and Ming Cherries for their breathtaking blooms) and paired them with low-maintenance evergreens, ornamental grasses, and my beloved Catmint for summer-long color. Every plant—from the bird-friendly Baby Blue Spruce to the continuous-blooming Hazel Dean Roses—came from Nancy Martin at Dieter Martin Greenhouse, whose quality and wisdom I’ve trusted for years. This serene space will honor families for generations, and we can’t wait to see it bloom this spring.

Want a yard as distinctive as your home? This stunning Scandinavian-inspired infill—our third on the block!—proves simplicity shines. From Procrete’s custom concrete pads to Brick By Brick’s elegant brick pathways and Remnant Steel’s showstopping gates (with gorgeous shadow play!), every detail was tailored to the clients’ vision. Even the planting blends prairie natives (Tufted Hair Grass) with nostalgic touches like a fiery Korean Maple. Ready to transform your space with this level of intentional design? Let’s create something extraordinary.

Dream of a yard that stops traffic? Our latest project in Saskatoon’s historic Crescents proves even urban spaces can become breathtaking retreats. Partnering with Saskatoon Paving Stone, we transformed this property with cascading rock beds and vibrant plantings—think golden smoke bush, weeping evergreens, and dusty blue junipers—all accented with strategic lighting. Whether you’re craving mountain-inspired textures or a low-maintenance oasis, let’s make your standout garden vision a reality!

Dreaming of a yard that blends beauty and function? We specialize in bringing visions to life—just like this project where Dillan Diederichs crafted a stunning patio perfect for entertaining, cozy fires, and kids’ play space. As the plants mature, lush textures will soften the hardscape, proving even compact yards can become magical retreats. Let’s transform your outdoor space into a personalized oasis you’ll love for years to come!

Transforming lawns into lush, productive gardens is our passion! When these clients dreamed of a front yard bursting with Echinacea and fruiting shrubs—inspired by their neighbor's pollinator paradise—we couldn't wait to help. This vibrant space (now a butterfly-filled sanctuary!) isn’t low-maintenance, but the weeding and pruning become joyful moments surrounded by color and life. We even tucked in a cozy seating nook so they can savor morning coffees and evening visits from their winged guests.

Can you tell I love Catmint and Tufted Hair Grass? After years of maintaining these clients' shrubs, I was thrilled to redesign their front beds using native plants I'd been saving for the perfect project – Wild Prairie Onion, grasses (was it Prairie Dropseed or Tufted Hair?), and bold Hydrangeas now soften the porch beautifully. The beds have exploded with color, texture, and buzzing pollinators all summer! It's been so rewarding to watch this Saskatoon garden thrive and to continue caring for such a vibrant space.

This long, sloped yard presented the perfect design challenge! We leveled the entrance with a deck, then let the grade gradually descend, using the client's salvaged bricks to create a charming pathway that connects all the garden zones. Kichler Lighting highlights the walkway, while native grasses soften its edges, and a hybrid Muckle Plum (the ideal ornamental tree for the space) anchors the design. I'm thrilled with how it turned out and can't wait to watch it mature!

It’s incredibly rewarding when a client’s vision aligns perfectly with your design approach—especially in a spacious front yard like this! We struck gold during our boulder hunt, landing a massive limestone slab that anchored the space beautifully, complemented by native Blue Grama Grass softening the scattered stones. The homeowners’ existing Hostas and evergreen shrubs found a new life here, and while the plants may be small now, the borders will soon grow into a lush, private retreat. A huge thanks to Dillan from Brick by Brick YXE for expertly handling the grading, boulder placement, and irrigation—be sure to check out his website to see the stunning brickwork he added to this project too!
