Happy Fall!! We are still taking Fall Cleanup and Aeration jobs, although we are booking up quickly for 2020. Email [email protected] to book your Fall cleanup or get into our construction lineup for spring of 2021!

Last call for plants!! We are submitting our final plant order for 2020 TOMORROW! (Where has the summer gone?) Email [email protected] if you have any last minute additions.

Our new website has launched! www.growFHL.com had been redesigned. Huge shout out to Breanna Thirlwall, our graphic designer!

A customer of ours working on a landscape overhaul - their place is looking so great! They provided most of the labour, machines, and materials - all we did was get them started. Excited to see how it develops!!!

We wrapped up this front yard renovation just in time for the rain to fall and water in our new plants and sod! We still have a few more openings for projects this Fall. Email [email protected]!

A wall we just finished up! We enjoy blended DIY projects. We did the bed prep and wall build and the customer will be doing the planting and mulch installation. Its a great way for them to still get the look of a professional landscape but save some money at the same time.

We have been busy with spring cleanups and pruning, and even snuck in our first fence of the year. Were now booking into mid June for new project starts - email [email protected] to set up a consultation and secure a spot in our lineup!!

The snow is nearly gone!! Email [email protected] to book your spring cleanup or small tree pruning! We also offer lawn care, maintenance, design, DIY consults/partnerships and full installation services!

Thinking about Stay-cations this summer? Planning to do some work yourself? We offer landscape design consultations, DIY partnerships as well our regular full design, install and maintenance work. Were waiting anxiously for the snow to melt, but would be happy to book a socially distant consultation for mid to late April!! Email [email protected] to find out more!!

With this snow on the melt and Fall officially here, contact us now to book your cleanups or to talk about sneaking in that last project you wanted done before winter! [email protected]

Have you ever considered a career in trades? Did you know that Landscape Horticulture is a Red Seal Trade in Canada? If you are interested in the Red Seal Landscape Horticulture program, Olds College still has seats open for Fall and Winter intakes. ... You DO need to be employed by a landscaping company, but your supervisor does NOT have to be a Journeyman! Call Your local Apprenticeship and Industry Training office, call Olds College, or even drop me an email for more information! In what other career track can you get PAID by the government to get an education??

... and the work continues!

We are well under way on our most recent project - we still should have time for a few more projects Email us at [email protected]!

TBT - Installation in 2014, tracking it's development over the last 5 years has been fun!

Before and After! Partnering with our friends For Trees Company Limited, we made some fairly major changes today! Our crew overhauled the defunct water feature while Gerard Fourniers crew planted and pruned! Wood mulch from Prairie Mulch!

Before and After of the project the Crew just wrapped up! Edging installed by Edge-It... we highly recommend them for Concrete Curbing!

We installed this landscape in 2013 and just did a little add on yesterday to reduce the line trimming along the deck. Really love seeing how the plants are filling in over time! When we planted those aspens, they were only as tall as the fence!!

A few brand new projects weve just finished up, as well as checking in on some former projects! One of my favourite things is watching designs grow and morph with each passing year! So many beautiful flowers in their glory right now!!

Just revisited 2 of the properties we have worked on in the last 3 years - so great to see the plants filling in!!

3 jobs in Olds we are just putting the final touches on! We still have availability for Summer 2019! Email us now: [email protected]

The finished product of the design rendering I posted before!

Here are a couple of stone projects weve recently completed! Roman Euro in rustic colour laid in intersecting fans... and Mega Libre flagstone in Toscana colour with a charcoal Holland stone soldier course.

Put together the water feature on this project today! Excited to show the before and after pics of the whole place soon!

This summer has been one of the worst for WASPS! Here's how you can try and keep them away!

A small retaining wall and patio we completed today!

As Design tools change, we try to change with them! Here's our first attempt at a Realtime Walkthrough of a proposed landscape design!

Added some plants today. The place is looking lush! #discoverypark #natureplay #nordegg #playallday #dtcountry #explorealberta

Im often asked about the merits of sod vs seed and to irrigate or not. Complex issue. It boils down to your tolerances. The property on the left is a Kentucky Bluegrass, irrigated lawn that was laid as sod. Beautiful but costly to maintain as it requires daily watering. The property in the right is a non irrigated mix of Kentucky bluegrass, creeping red fescue and perennial ryegrass. It was originally installed as seed. As the summer continues on, the bluegrass will continue to brown off until we get more rain.
