I wanted to take out the lawn on my front yard and replace it with a garden. I contacted Laureen Rama. She designed a delightful garden with Calgary-hardy plants that need little watering. Laureen chose a variety of plants and shrubs which ensure I have something blooming from early spring through late fall in a variety of colours.
My yard has a steep slope and the drainage caused quite a bit of ice to collect on the city sidewalk when the weather turned mild, and the snow melted (which is a common part of Calgary winters!). Laureen and her team dug a well to hold the water and created a lovely rock garden on top. The well not only diverts water from running into the street, but it also creates a reservoir for the elm tree in the front yard – an attractive and practical solution to the drainage problem.
Laureen clearly loves her work. She is creative, listens carefully, asks good questions, and has a light and pleasant touch with advice. Her knowledge of plant life is deep. Laureen and her team were a delight to work with.
My front yard is a thing of beauty that has healthy, thriving plants and shrubs – I am very happy with it. The flowers are wonderful. I often have people stopping to admire my lovely garden. Thank you Laureen!
