Client Reviews

What Calgary Homeowners Say

“Taha Landscaping was recommended to us by a neighbour, and we're glad to have used Taha. Kal (owner) was quick in responding and always made himself available to discuss our landscaping. The work he did was extremely high quality, quick and priced fairly. We'll be using Taha again next summer as we add more features to our yard.”

“We have had a fence built and it was perfect, on time and great value! And we have had a 750 square foot stone patio that has increased our outdoor living space and we love it! Looks lovely, sloped and drains and we were advised on design and product choice! We love it!”

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a pergola and a shade structure?

Pergolas allow filtered light through slatted roofs, often hosting vines. Shade structures provide solid or semi-solid coverage. We help you choose based on desired shade level and style.

How much does a pergola cost in Calgary?

Costs depend on size, materials, and design complexity. Simple pergolas cost less than elaborate structures with shade cloth or retractable systems. We quote based on your specifications.

What materials are best for Calgary weather?

Pressure-treated wood is affordable and durable. Cedar offers natural beauty. Composite requires minimal maintenance. We help match material to your preferences.

Will a pergola provide enough shade?

Pergolas alone provide filtered shade. For more coverage, add shade cloth, retractable systems, or climbing vines. We discuss options based on your sun exposure.
