What to know about Garden design
Garden design is the planning of what grows in your beds: which perennials, shrubs, grasses, bulbs and vegetables go where, how they are grouped, when each one flowers and how much care the whole planting will ask of you. A garden designer turns a bare strip along the fence, a tired foundation bed or a sunny corner for vegetables into a planting plan that suits the site and your habits, then often supplies the plants and puts them in.

The closest place we list to Edmonton is Strathcona County, 13 km away. Ask where a pro is driving from — on a small garden design job the travel is part of the price.
Edmonton is the principal city of a wider area we list under the name Edmonton Region, which takes in 6 other places. A pro's service area might be Edmonton on its own or the whole of it — we match on the one they gave us.
Edmonton publishes its own building-permit page, and it is linked below beside the rules that apply in Alberta. Whether garden design needs a permit is answered there, not in a quote.
The rules we can source for this work in Alberta cover consumer protection. They are set out below with the page each one came from — the regulator's words, not ours.
Garden design costs in Edmonton
Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Size of the yard and the scope of the design
- Grading, excavation and drainage work
- Hardscape materials, such as stone, pavers or wood
- Plants, sod and soil
- Access for machinery
- Removal of old materials, trees or stumps
- How often visits are scheduled for ongoing services
How to choose garden designers in Edmonton
- Choose a company that does the kind of work you need, since design, lawn care, tree work and hardscaping are different specialties.
- For big projects, ask for a site plan or drawing before work starts.
- Ask how they'll handle grading and drainage so water moves away from the house.
- For tree removal or large pruning, look for a qualified arborist with liability insurance.
- For ongoing services like lawn care or snow removal, get the visit schedule and what's included in writing.
Questions to ask garden designers before you hire
- Can I see a plan or drawing before you start?
- How will you handle drainage and grading?
- Will you have underground utilities located before you dig?
- Does any of this work need a permit, such as for a retaining wall, fence or tree removal?
- What plants or materials do you recommend for our climate and my yard's sun and shade?
- Do you guarantee plants or sod, and for what conditions?
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance?
Garden design permits in Edmonton
Some garden design work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common garden design questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
