The Modern Prairie Xeriscape Plans for Alberta Homeowners
Stop Staring At That Sad Front Yard... Here's How To Turn It Into The Neighbourhood Showstopper
Clean lines. Prairie resilience. Zero guesswork
Hey there,
You've been staring at that blank front yard for months now, haven't you?
Pinterest boards full of gorgeous landscapes that would die in our first chinook. Generic "landscape templates" that look like every other house on the block. Designer quotes that make your mortgage payment look reasonable. Meanwhile, another Alberta spring is coming, and you're tired of being the house with builder sod and good intentions.
What if there was a better way? (Spoiler alert: There is. And it doesn't involve spending your kid's college fund.)
Introducing the Modern Prairie Xeriscape Kit
Look, this isn't another generic template that sorta-kinda works if you squint and pray to the weather gods. This is a professionally designed, climate-smart landscape plan created specifically for Alberta front yards. A complete design system that combines modern elegance with prairie toughness.
The result? A stunning front yard that enhances your curb appeal through all four seasons, requires minimal maintenance, and thrives in our challenging climate.
Four-season beauty. Zero guesswork. Finally.

The Problem Every Alberta Homeowner Faces
You're drowning in conflicting advice.
Hours scrolling garden sites, but nothing seems designed for Alberta's climate. Everything looks either too generic or too high-maintenance.
You're terrified of expensive mistakes.
You don't want to spend thousands on the wrong plants — only to watch them die after one winter. (Been there?)
You're tired of uncertainty.
Hiring a designer feels intimidating and costly, but DIY feels risky. You're caught between wanting professional quality and wanting control.
You want results NOW.
You want your home to feel finished and inviting — not bare dirt for another summer. You crave something you can implement quickly, with confidence.
You're skeptical of cookie-cutter solutions.
You've seen those one-size-fits-all plans online that don't consider Alberta soil, Alberta weather, or Alberta style.
In short, you're thinking:
"I just want my yard to look beautiful — something timeless, easy, and done right the first time. I don't want to waste another summer figuring it out."
(And honestly? That's totally reasonable. Why should landscaping be rocket science?)
What Your Life Looks Like After Installing Your Modern Prairie Xeriscape
Picture this...
Your front yard becomes a showpiece. What was once bare builder sod now flows with clean lines, layered textures, and four-season color that just works.
You feel actual pride pulling into your driveway. Every time you come home, there's quiet satisfaction — "That looks amazing… and I did it." Neighbors slow down to admire it. Friends ask who designed it.
No more second-guessing or YouTube rabbit holes. You know every plant, stone, and line in the yard has a purpose — designed for your region and lifestyle.
You get your weekends back. The design practically takes care of itself — drought-tolerant, hardy, minimal trimming. You've replaced "yard work" with yard pride.
Your yard feels alive. Shifting subtly with each season. Grasses sway, textures change, colors evolve. It gives you daily beauty that quietly enriches your home life.
You've gone from staring at an empty yard wondering "Where do I start?" to confidently stepping back, coffee in hand, thinking "We absolutely nailed it."
(And trust me, that feeling never gets old.)
Why This Kit is Different From Everything Else Out There
Real Professional Design (Without the Professional Price Tag)
Most landscape designers charge $3,000+ just for the plan. You get the same level of design thinking for less than what most people spend on their monthly coffee habit.

Actually Designed FOR Alberta
Every plant is selected for Zone 3 hardiness and four-season interest. This isn't some generic plan with a few cold-hardy substitutions thrown in. This was designed FROM Alberta, FOR Alberta.
Low-Maintenance by Design
Drought-resistant, winter-hardy plants that thrive naturally. You'll spend more time enjoying your yard than maintaining it.
Modern Prairie Aesthetic
Clean, contemporary lines that complement today's home styles, but with natural texture and movement that makes a landscape feel alive.
Meet Your Designer
(And Why You Should Trust Me With Your Front Yard)
I've been designing landscapes for over 25 years. Started in high-end botanical gardens in Australia (where everything tries to kill you, including the plants). Spent the last 14 years mastering the art of creating beautiful landscapes that actually survive Canada's bipolar weather.
For the past five years, I've specialized in residential design, working with Alberta's top landscape companies and helping hundreds of homeowners transform their properties.
I've made every mistake you're afraid of making. I know which plant combinations look amazing on paper but hate each other in real life. I know which "hardy" plants are actually drama queens in disguise.
The Modern Prairie Xeriscape Kit is everything I've learned, distilled into a system that just works.
(No trial and error required. I already did all the erroring for you.)

Quick Answers to Your Burning Questions
Will this actually fit my weird-shaped lot?
The design adapts to most Alberta front yards. We include spacing guides and alternative layouts so you can adjust without screwing up the balance.
Do I need fancy software or design skills?
Nope. Everything comes as simple PDF files you can view on your phone or print at home. If you can follow IKEA instructions, you can handle this.
Can I actually find these plants locally?
Absolutely. Every plant is available at Alberta nurseries, plus we give you backup options in case something's temporarily sold out.
How long will this take to install?
Most people finish over 2-3 weekends, depending on yard size. Or just hand the plan to any landscaping contractor — they'll know exactly what to do.
What if I need help during installation?
Basic Kit buyers can email us anytime. Premium Kit buyers get a full consultation call to walk through everything before you start.
Can I use this for my backyard too?
This kit is specifically designed for front yards, but the principles and plant combinations work beautifully in backyard applications as well.
"You Need a Huge Budget to Get Professional-Looking Results"
Here's the truth:
You don't need a five-figure design budget. You need a plan that actually works.
Mike from Edmonton spent $12,000 on “premium” plants without a plan. Half didn’t survive the first winter. The rest grew into a tangled, expensive mess.
Jennifer from Red Deer followed a simple, well-designed layout. She spent $600 on the right plants—and her neighbours still ask who her designer is.
The difference wasn't the money. It was having a plan that worked.
(And really, seeing people blow money on doomed plants makes me want to stage an intervention.)
"Alberta Weather Kills Everything Pretty"
The problem isn't Alberta. It's using plants that belong in Vancouver.
David from Edmonton tried to grow a Boxwood hedge like his mom had in Vancouver. During the winter, they all died. Finally, he tried Alpine Currant. They're gorgeous. And they laugh at our winters.
When you pick plants that thrive here, they get more beautiful every year.
(Seriously, it’s like planting a palm tree in Edmonton and hoping it’ll make it through January. Wrong place, wrong plant. But I’m getting sidetracked…)
"Beautiful Yards Need Constant Maintenance"
Over-planted, water-hungry yards need maintenance. Not beautiful ones.
Tom and Lisa from Calgary spent every weekend working in their yard. They hated it.
When they switched to prairie plants, their yard got MORE beautiful. And they got their weekends back.
The secret is structure and spacing.
A spring cut-back. A bit of mulch. Done.
(If you write down all the time you spend on yard work right now, this will probably save you 20+ hours every summer. Just saying...)
"DIY Landscaping Always Looks Amateur"
It only looks amateur when there's no plan behind it.
Jennifer planted every single plant herself. Now contractors ask who designed her yard. When she says she did it herself, people don't believe her.
You supply the enthusiasm. The design takes care of itself.
(Which is nice, because who has $40,000 lying around for yard stuff anyway? Not me, that's for sure.)
"I Don't Know Where to Start — It's Too Overwhelming"
Mark from Edmonton stared at his front yard for two whole years. Every spring: "This is the year we fix the yard." Every fall: still just grass and dirt.
You don't need to know everything. You just need to start with clarity.
When Mark got a step-by-step plan, everything changed. Plant this here. Put that there. Done.
The stuck feeling goes away the minute you have a plan you can trust.
(I mean, come on. How long have you been "planning" to do something about that front yard? Two years? Three? Time to stop planning and start planting...)
