Aris Landscape Design

In designing our front yard, with the challenging environment of two 60 year old spruce trees, Michelle opened our eyes with her knowledge of landscape design, species selection, and keen staging skills. We are so happy with the end product and thank Michelle for her guidance and efforts.

We recently approached a local landscape company to do a total redesign of our front and back yards. We were referred to Michelle of Aris Landscape Design to have a new plan drawn up which included a planting guide. We met with Michelle to discuss our ideas and get her ideas on what would and wouldn’t work.
After a few telephone discussions, a couple of on-site meetings and a few changes, we were presented with a lovely, detailed plan that included plants we probably never would have found on our own.
We are now looking forward to having the plan brought to life this summer.
We found Michelle very easy to work with and very responsive to any questions or concerns that we had. Changes were made in a timely manner and the whole process was handled in a very professional manner.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Aris to others.

Since I was new to Calgary and it’s climate, I attended a very informative workshop on Landscaping by Michelle, owner of Aris Landscaping, and immediately engaged her. Michelle was very enthusiastic, a great listener, and opened my eyes and mind to plants, miniature trees, stone and mulch, sitting areas with consideration of colours, textures, heights, blooming times, sunny or shady areas, that I would never have thought of planting or using. She even worked my mum’s favourite flowers into the design, as a special memory for me, and lighting.

I had a basic vision and Michelle expanded that, presented me with choices and great advice. Michelle was always punctual, patient, considerate within my limited budget, always took time to answer all my questions during the entire project which I completed myself. She emailed 3D designs until the design was perfect. Then presented me with the final drafted detailed drawings.

My Aris designed front yard by Michelle is lovely, and a real eye catcher. Neighbours and even strangers have stopped to give compliments and ask “Who done it?”
Michelle goes above and beyond with her excellent customer service.

I have recommended Aris Landscaping to several people.

We had a vision for our yard, front and back, to make it low maintenance and add some interest. However, we needed professional input, so that we got it right. "Getting it right" was what Michelle did for us. She put our vision on a drawing and specified plants and materials that made our yard stunning and as well as inviting. Thank you, Michelle.

It was a pleasure working with Michelle on the design of our front and backyard landscape. Michelle listened to my husband and I wants and needs, and created a beautiful plan that is now coming alive. She introduced us to trees that we would never have chosen on our own, and we have received so many complements from people walking by. By having a detailed plan, it gave us direction and enabled us to make the most of our time and money. We sent our drawings to contractors and the turnaround on quotes was quick, which allowed us to start immediately. I highly recommend Aris Landscaping for your landscaping design.

They came by our house and were very professional. They took care to get a feeling for what we wanted and were very thorough. They put together a great plan that fit what we were looking for and were open to minor changes we wanted and adjusted accordingly. You could tell they had great knowledge and a passion for their work.

Michelle was very easy to work with and helped us create a backyard design that included all our wants and needs. She created a beautiful design that will allow us to enjoy our backyard throughout the year. I highly recommend Aris Landscape design!

Michelle was very professional and nice.
She listened to what I had to say then add excellent suggestions and ideas. She was able to capture my vision for an outstanding yard.
I would highly recommend Aris Landscape Design.
