Shaped
by water,
built to last.
A yard is a drainage plan wearing a garden.
We are A Green Future, a Calgary landscaping crew. Retaining walls, paving stone, decks — and the underground work that decides whether any of it survives spring melt. Designed for Calgary's climate, from the soil up.
What we build.
- / 01
Landscaping design
Full-yard plans — layout, beds, plantings and grading as one decision. Designed for Calgary's climate from the first sketch. Sample planning ranges from $4,200 (Sample).
- / 02
Drainage solutions
Standing water, low spots, downspouts at the foundation. Diagnose grades, soil and low spots; fix with regrading, drainage pipe, French drains or downspout extensions. French drains from $2,900 (Sample).
- / 03
Retaining walls
Tiered walls that make slopes usable. Permit needs depend on height, location, loading and current City of Calgary rules — checked before construction. From $185 / lin. ft (Sample).
- / 04
Paving stones & patios
Patios and walkways with drainage-conscious finishing — like the Parkdale backyard: a worn, uneven yard rebuilt into a clean paving-stone patio. Patios from $8,500 (Sample).
- / 05
Decks & outdoor construction
Decks, stairs and outdoor structures with solid footings and honest framing, built for Alberta weather.
- / 06
Sod & planting
Fresh sod, gravel beds and plantings chosen for the site and the climate — not the catalogue photo. Sod refreshes from $2.75 / sq ft (Sample).
Parkdale patio
A worn, uneven backyard in Parkdale, Calgary, transformed with a new paving-stone patio, clean edging and drainage-conscious finishing.
Standing water
After storms or spring melt, pooling water means grades, soil or downspouts are wrong. We diagnose first, then rebuild — and explain the process clearly at each step.
Homes & commercial
Residential: new-build front and back yards, terracing, patios, decks. Commercial: entry landscapes, grading and drainage corrections — scope discussed clearly before construction.
Four steps.
Site assessment
We walk the property — grades, low spots, soil, downspouts, access, demolition. A real quote starts here; the online estimator is a preliminary planning estimate.
Design & estimate
A written plan and estimate shaped to the site and Calgary's climate. Materials, grading and drainage priced honestly before digging.
Construction
Clean worksite, clear scope discussions before construction, prompt communication throughout.
Walkthrough
We walk the finished work together — grades, drainage flow, finishes — and hand over a yard you can use.
