Three front yards, each designed to match its home.
Arbour Lake, Capitol Hill and Montgomery: a neighbourly gathering spot, a clean modern palette, and a steep slope brought to life with a wing wall and lighting.
Simple, vibrant and, most of all, inviting.
Front yard landscaping is a challenge for many homeowners, who are never quite sure what to do with the space.
Taz designs custom, creative front yards that make the most of their surroundings while accentuating the home. The key is always the same: keep it simple, vibrant and, most importantly, inviting.
Key services across all three projects:
- Softscaping
- Landscape Features
- Landscape Lighting
- Paving Stones
A plain front lawn, turned into a neighbourly gathering spot.
The owners wanted a place out front to sit and welcome people visiting from the neighbourhood.
Taz proposed a more natural, rustic space: natural stepping stones lead to the meeting place, surrounded by a rock garden that makes the walk there as appealing as the seat itself.

A black-and-white home, matched with a clean, modern front yard.
The owners wanted something simple and clean.
Taz connected the landscape to the home's black and white exterior with rundle rock and limestone rock, intertwining the two around a new paving stone walkway to the front door.

A steep front slope, shaped with a wing wall and lit up after dark.
A steep slope left this front yard with no structure to work with.
Taz added a wing retaining wall to bring hardscaping to the front and accentuate the tree behind it. Sweeping curves around the straight concrete steps add contrast, ground cover was chosen to match the home, and landscape lighting gives the yard a beautiful pop at night.

Three front yards, in the owners' own words.
Taz designed the perfect xeriscape for our front yard. We appreciated that Taz scheduled the work around a specific holiday for us. When Miguel and his crew arrived, they were all we could ask for - professional and very hard working. We’ve had many walkers and drivers stop to ask us who did our landscaping. We highly recommend TazScapes, Taz, Miguel and his crew. We are already thinking about what design Taz could show us for our NW Calgary back yard.
Hired Taz 2 years ago to design and renovate our backyard. We were really impressed with the plan and design he presented to us and then completely blown away with completed project. His team was fantastic and the quality of the job was top notch.
We recently had them come back and do the same with our front yard.
Highly recommend Taz and team!
I recently had my front yard landscaped with Tazscapes, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation with Taz, to the final touches, the team was professional and friendly. The crew was hardworking, showed up on time every day, and kept the space clean and organized throughout the project. So many people in the neighborhood have been going out of their way to compliment our new yard! I highly recommend using Tazscapes for your landscaping needs.
