Natural Landscapes Inc.

Doug, re--styled the front yard from a very basic look to a very beautiful landscaping that is very picturesque. Doug is very creative and skilled. His work changed the yard dramatically but also changed the appearance of the house. His work is amazing. He is very talented at what he does and tries to the best possible job for the customer.

Doug and his energetic crew turned a sadly neglected disaster of a backyard into an oasis of beauty and tranquility. I requested a low-maintenance design. The slope of the lot lent itself to adding a brook, gentle waterfall and pond to a multi-level deck of composite material. Natural stone steps lead up to a back gate. The design drawing including choice of plants was completed within 24 hours. The work, although interrupted with snow in April, was completed in about 15 working days. The crew was polite, expedient, hard-working, and absolutely reliable. They delivered what they promised on time and on budget. The overall result exceeded my expectations.

In 2003, Doug and his crew turned a nondescript brown lawn with a few trees and junipers into an outstanding natural oasis including a dry stream, small pond, front courtyard, and a water wise garden. It looks great in all seasons. There are distinct sections of the garden including an alpine garden, English stye garden, and a courtyard oasis. Doug created a composition using good design principles of harmony, dominance, repetition, rhythm, cohesion, movement, contrast, and scale. The wonderful sandstone boulders are indigenous to Calgary and connect beautifully with the surrounding area. The garden has created a sense of community and enjoyment for ourselves and others. Many of our neighbours thanked us for creating a neighbourhood garden for everyone to enjoy. People who are passing by either on foot or driving often stop to view the garden and to complement the work of Doug and his crew. The cost estimates were accurate and the work was completed in a timely fashion. Doug was easy to work with and maintains a high sense of integrity and genuine excitement about his work. I highly recommend Natural Landscapes.

We had our front and backyard professionally landscaped by Doug Bourgoyne of Natural Landscapes a number of years ago, and wish to comment that he did an absolutely fantastic job for us. He tranformed a rather simple space into an oasis that we have thoroughly enjoyed over the years. Doug had great design ideas, yet gave us ample opportunity to add our own views and visions for our yard.

After the job was completed, Doug kept checking back periodically to see if we had questions or required further instructions on specific plant or yard care. He has been very helpful over the years and it is obrious to us that he truly believes in post installation service to his clients.

We have had many superlative comments from friends, neighbours and passers-by on the outdoor living space Doug created for us. We certainly thank Doug for the effort he made in bringing our dreams for our home to reality, and recommend Natural Landscapes whole heartedly to anyone wishing to hire professional help in the design and development of their yard.

We had Natural Landscapes/ Doug Burgoyne design and create our Backyard in 1986. We were so delighted and enjoyed it so much that in 1990 we decided to do something with the front yard. So we spoke breifly with Doug. We had left for a golf holiday and when we returned Doug had the plans drawn up and was ready to go. He started right away and had the job completed in 4 1/2 days. He constructed winding pathways sutible for wheel chairs, water feature, patio, and trees, shrubs and perennials and Screens.
Two years later we entered our garden into the Horticultural Society garden competition and had over 2000 people come and view the front yard landscaping. It won three awards for curb appeal, water garden and perennial garden. We have enjoyed it emensely eversince and recently decided it was time to update our garden and had Natural Landscapes come back. We enlarged our water feature and created a beautiful sitting area around the pond. We are so excited and we are looking forward to enjoying our garden well into our Golden Years. We have referred and had many visitors to our Garden over the years and proudly recommend Doug Burgoyne's honesty and integrity.
We would recommend Natural Landscapes to everyone we meet.

After the miracle Natural Landscapes performed on our previous property's "challenged" backyard from weed infested squalor to the appearance of a golf course green on a par three, we engaged them for our brand-new home. Yet again, amzing results. We had the most outstanding landscaping on the street. Not an easy feat for homes in the $700,000 price range.

We had our landscaping done last spring early summer by Natural Landscapes. Doug was very professional and did a great job with our drawings. The guys that he had working with him to do the landscaping did a great job and we were very pleased with the end results.

Natural Landscapes completed my landscaping in the summer of 2011.
The yard incorparated about 50 ton of sandstone for walls and stairs.
I was very happy with the end results.

Natural Landscapes did a wonderful job. not only does our yard look great but the few trees that died over the winter were replaced in a timely manner. Doug was knowledgable and did a great job chosing plants and trees for our lot.

Doug's creativity, design and landscaping expertise is exceptional. I can't possibly describe how much we are enjoying our newly landscaped home. The results have far exceeded my hopes and dreams. The pond and waterfall are truly a gift. Just a few minutes of sitting or standing by the water and listening to the waterfall brings me so much peace and joy. Your creative gift has blessed us and we are grateful. The quality and professionalism demonstrated by you and your team from the design phase through construction and follow-up are outstanding. A heart-felt thank you from satisfied customers and sincere congratulations to you and your team.
