Landscaping, drainage, retaining walls, paving stone and decks — designed for Calgary's climate, built to perform for years.
Calgary and surrounding areas — established communities and newer neighbourhoods across the city.
Most Calgary yards fail the same way: water with nowhere to go, grading that sends it toward the foundation, and finishes that were never meant for freeze-thaw. We start underground — grades, low spots, soil, downspouts — and build up from there, so the pretty part stays pretty.
DRAINAGE FIRSTCLIMATE-DRIVENA Green Future is a Calgary landscaping and drainage crew. We design and build front and back yards for new builds and older homes alike: retaining walls that hold terraces through spring melt, paving-stone patios with clean edging, decks and outdoor construction, and the unglamorous drainage work — regrading, drainage pipe, French drains, downspout extensions — that keeps everything standing. Plan any time of year; before the build season is the calmest time to design and estimate.
Full-yard plans for front and back — layout, beds, plantings and grading considered together, not decoration applied after. Designed for Calgary's climate from the first sketch.
DESIGN 02Standing water, soggy low spots, downspouts dumping at the foundation. We diagnose grades, soil and low spots, then fix it with regrading, drainage pipe, French drains or downspout extensions.
WATER 03Tiered walls that turn sloped, unusable yards into level terraces. Permit requirements depend on wall height, location and loading and current City of Calgary rules — we check before we build.
STRUCTURE 04Patios, walkways and edging with drainage-conscious finishing — like the Parkdale backyard transformation: a worn, uneven yard rebuilt into a clean paving-stone patio.
HARDSCAPE 05Decks, stairs and outdoor structures built to take Alberta weather — solid footings, honest framing, finishes you can actually live on.
BUILD 06Fresh sod, gravel beds and plantings that survive Calgary — species and soil chosen for the site, not the catalogue photo.
SOFTSCAPEA worn, uneven backyard in Parkdale, Calgary — the kind of yard you avoid. Rebuilt into a new paving-stone patio with clean edging and drainage-conscious finishing: the surface sheds water the way it should, and the yard reads as one intentional space again.
Drainage emergency work is half our calendar. After heavy rain or spring melt, water pooling against the house or sitting in low spots means grades, soil or downspouts are wrong. We diagnose first — grades, low spots, soil, downspouts — then rebuild with regrading, drainage pipe, French drains or downspout extensions, and explain the process clearly at each step.
Residential: new-build front and backyard plans, slope terracing with retaining walls, patios, decks, sod and planting — with attention to drainage details and a polished finish.
Commercial: entry landscapes, grading and drainage corrections around buildings, paving and planting scopes discussed clearly before construction, with prompt communication throughout.
We walk the property — grades, low spots, soil, downspouts, access and demolition needs. This is how a real quote gets built; the online estimator is a preliminary planning estimate, not a substitute.
A plan shaped to the site and to Calgary's climate, with a written estimate. Materials, grading and drainage are priced honestly before anything is dug.
Clean worksite, clear scope discussions before construction, and communication that stays prompt the whole way through. Drainage work is explained clearly at each step.
We walk the finished work together — grades, drainage flow, finishes — and hand over a yard you can actually use and maintain.

Serving Calgary and surrounding areas — from inner-city infills to acreage edges.
Licensing and insurance documentation available on request — ask at the site assessment and we'll bring it. Written estimates, clear scope discussions before construction, and a walkthrough at the end.
Tell us about the yard. We reply with next steps — usually a site assessment first, because that's how real numbers get made.
