Catching up…

Hoo boy, have I been remiss in posting to this journal… Sorry! especially to Jane in Salmon Arm, who is our most faithful reader. She checks the journal diligently every single day! I will work harder on this, just knowing we have at least 1 loyal reader!

So, what is up? Well we moved on from Elgin Village, completed a project in Cranston and are looking after the last bits of 4 smaller projects in Evanston, Airdrie, Evanston, and Richmond (NO! we do NOT work that far north!). We are now moving into Elbow Park for some pre-work on a future project, starting a full yard renovation in Cranston and looking at 2 more projects on LeeDavid Street in Elgin again. We are also in talks for projects in Aspen Woods, Springbank Hill, Cranstonx6, Douglasdale, and so on. We are pretty busy right now,and If you are waiting for design or quote, please do not despair, we are getting back to everyone in order, and be ready because when your number is called we are ready to GO! The weather has been fabulous and we are banging out projects like crazy.

So, Speaking of projects. Here is a fun progression of photos on the last project in Elgin Village.

And, remember the grass on the first project in Elgin? Well here it is then and now! what a difference a month makes!

Additionally, we completed a ‘Hardscapes only’ project in Cranston. The Homeowner is a very good handyman, but just needed some help as they just had their 3rd beautiful child and time is scarce. He did build the nice deck, boardwalk and fence prior to us building the Retaining wall, drainage, patio and planting the big trees for them. I am looking forward to seeing the finished project when it is complete.

Nice detail work on the patio, team!

I did see some pretty interesting stuff as well. Like, I thought the city instituted the Final house and lot grading certificate, so homeowners could proceed with their landscaping, confident in the fact that the lot has indeed been graded properly. Sadly, we see this quite a bit these days… (Ed note: not a LeeDavid Project)

I will leave you tonight with this last photo of a really nice mature yard here in Calgary. I thought it would be nice to show the future potential of what a properly landscaped yard will look like in 15 years when the secret ingredient is employed in the annual care of the yard. The secret ingredient is… love!
