Calgary Landscaping
 
With the growing trend of "staycationing" - to spend a holiday at home - more people who want to spruce up their landscape, making their gardens as their favorite destination. Gone are the days of the picnic tables, folding chairs and plastic pools. Today's luxury outdoor landscapes have fully equipped kitchens, sofas, bars, televisions, heaters and fireplaces. Nowadays it is about to extend the living space and bring the comforts inside from outside. It is also about going green, which is why Calgary landscaping contractors can expect an increase for cape they do this year to see. 

Patios - Patios are dramatically increasing in size to make room for more outdoor living space. One of the biggest trends now is to treat the backyard as you would a house and divide it up into separate 'rooms' or living areas. The various residential areas can be divided according to their specific use, for example: A dining area, a lounge and a bar or they can be distributed on a given theme, for example, a Japanese-inspired area with a pond, a forest area with a stone retaining wall and an English country-inspired section with gazebos.

In addition, patios are no longer to start at the back door! These living areas can also be designed as "retreats" tucked away in various places in the backyard, which is especially appealing to customers who are looking for garden designs that keep privacy in mind. In addition, as customers look to spend more time outdoors, they may be interested in protected areas. Assen, hedges, atriums, trees and pergolas provide all the different degrees of shelter and privacy. Design and feature options for a patio are completely dependent on the client (or designer's) imagination!

We are also looking patios made with more permanent, natural materials like stone and pavers. While the idea of installing a patio in landscaping Calgary is usually raises images of hard concrete slabs, patios today's material comes in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. Natural stone patios can be made from shale, slate or field stone.
