Calgary, Alberta is a booming city that has been known as one of the best places to live in Canada.

Calgary is a booming city that has been known as one of the best places to live in Canada. The population of Calgary is growing rapidly, and it's no wonder why: there are many reasons why this city is so great!

Calgary has beautiful scenery, amazing weather and lots of outdoor activities to do all year round. Plus, it's safe--the crime rate here is lower than other major cities in Canada like Toronto or Vancouver (which makes sense since those cities have larger populations). In addition to being a great place for families or young professionals looking for jobs at big companies like Suncor Energy Inc., Enbridge Inc., TransCanada Corp., etc.; Calgary also offers plenty of parks where you can enjoy your free time with friends & family members without having any worries about what might happen next."

The cost of living in Calgary is reasonable.

When compared to other major cities in Canada, Calgary has a lower cost of living. The average cost of rent in Toronto is $1,900 per month and Vancouver's average rent is $2,360 per month. In comparison, the average rental rate for a two-bedroom apartment in Calgary is $1,020 per month according to Numbeo.

The reason why it's so much cheaper to live here is because you can find great opportunities without having to pay exorbitant amounts of money on rent or mortgage payments. You'll also save money by shopping at local grocery stores instead of paying higher prices at big chain stores like Loblaws or Walmart!

It is easy to find a job in Calgary.

As a result of its strong economy, Calgary is home to many large corporations. The oil and gas industry is a major part of that economy and has been for decades. In fact, Calgary has been called "the Paris of Canada" in reference to its thriving cultural life and diversity.

Calgary's population grew by more than 50% between 2001 and 2016, making it one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada during this period. The city has also become increasingly multicultural over time: approximately half (49%) of Calgarians were born outside Canada; however this number drops significantly with each generation so that only 20% are foreign born third generation Canadians live there now!

The city has beautiful scenery and enjoyable weather all year long.

Whether you're a fan of the outdoors, or you just want to stay inside and enjoy the weather, Calgary has it all. The city's climate is ideal for anyone who wants to experience four distinct seasons--but not too many of them. Summertime lasts from June through August and is characterized by warm days (averaging around 20 degrees Celsius) and cool evenings (averaging around 10 degrees Celsius). Wintertime lasts from October through May and brings subzero temperatures with plenty of snowfall during this time period as well. Spring arrives in late March or early April; while there are still chilly days here and there throughout this season, spring is generally much more mild than winter thanks to its longer days (around 15 hours). Fall comes right after spring--and though it starts off slow at first with cooler temperatures than those we saw in summertime or springtime, fall rapidly picks up speed until we reach winter again!

There are many parks and outdoor activities for people who love the outdoors.

If you love the outdoors, Calgary has a lot to offer. There are many parks in the city and surrounding area, including Nose Hill Park (the largest), Fish Creek Provincial Park and Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. While there are tons of outdoor activities to choose from--hiking, biking, fishing and swimming--these three locations are some of our favorites.

There are many safe and friendly neighborhoods throughout Calgary in which to live.

Calgary is a safe city. In fact, it has one of the lowest crime rates in Canada and is considered to be one of the safest cities in North America. There are many neighborhoods throughout Calgary in which you can live that offer low crime rates and friendly neighbors.

Calgary's unemployment rate is low as well--at only 5%. Because there are so many job opportunities here, you'll never have trouble finding work!

A Soft Place to Fall - Part I

Story List 

Word count: 3.6k // Rated M // harry x reader

Note: Wowowow ok! So, here’s the first part of what will be a multi-part story. It is just a short lil introduction to our duo... The second part isn’t too far away either :) I want to thank my bullies motivating friends that encouraged me to write and share this! I love writing but am always painfully nervous about sharing. So please, if you like it, let me know! If you don’t like it you can also let me know but I will probably cry. OK ENJOY :)

Part I

In a cozy log cabin at the base of Mount Yamnuska, Harry found himself in a position he thought he’d never find himself in again.

He was hiding. 

It was something he tended to do after a particularly difficult break up: Flee to a different country, alone, to write and sulk and ponder how he always managed to screw things up. 

Jamaica. Japan. Italy. 

Canada.

In the heart of the Canadian rockies, he sat by the fire in his lonely wooden home. There was a winter unlike anything he’d ever experienced outside his window and a mug filled with English tea in front of him. Next to his mug was his journal, open to an empty set of pages, words painfully unwritten. 

He arrived in Calgary by plane this morning, peering out the window to see the bustling and bright landscapes of California transform into blankets of fresh white snow on barren acres of farmland. They flew over the Rocky Mountains and, despite having seen them from above before, he was transfixed by their beauty and size, and he wondered if anyone ever got tired of seeing something so majestic. He had never seen the mountains in the dead of winter, the trees, the ground, and the mountains themselves covered in white while the surrounding frozen glacier lakes remained a brilliant blue. He appreciated the beauty of it all, and under different circumstances he might have turned to the person sitting next to him and urged them to lean over and take a peek out the window too. But his mood soured when he remembered that the person sitting next to him was a stranger, and he was, again, on this trip alone.

Once the plane had landed he sent a quick text to his family group chat and Jeffrey to let them know he’d arrived in one piece. He scrolled through his emails to find all of the different reservations Jeffrey forwarded to him so he could pick up his rental vehicle and begin the 100 kilometre journey to the sleepy mountain town he would be calling home for the next three months. 

The GPS in the rental guided him to the Bow Valley Parkway, the scenic highway that would lead him through Banff National Park and to his destination. As he entered the parkway, he pulled into a designated lookout just past a wooden gate that overhead read “WELCOME BIENVENUE”. Directly in front of him was a cerulean river, frozen over and backed by the most massive snow-capped mountain he had ever seen. He got out of his car, feeling the cold January air like pinpricks across his face, and quickly took a picture of the view. He sent it to his mother and promised to one day come back with her so she could see it for herself.

As he drove further down the Bow Valley, he felt kind of silly for pulling over at the sight of his first mountain when each mountain and lake he passed seemed to be bigger and more beautiful than the last. Eventually, he saw the signs for Mount Yamnuska and turned off the highway onto a long and winding road that would take him to his final destination. With nothing but tall lodgepole pine trees, grey skies, and the crooning voice of Billie Holiday to keep him company, he felt like he was on a different planet. A planet where the trees and the mountain air could filter out all of the negative voices, thoughts, and feelings he’d been privy to in the last few weeks. A planet where he might be able to clear his head long enough to find within it a melody or even a lyric or two. 

Harry wasn’t entirely sure what was waiting for him at the end of the road, only having skimmed the AirBnB listing Jeffrey had emailed him. He called Jeff two days ago, insisting that he needed to get away, to disappear for a bit. Having been in this exact position before with his client/friend, Jeff knew what that meant. His manager remembered seeing videos of aesthetic mountain vacations with rocky lookouts and great big turquoise lakes on TikTok, so he suggested that Harry sequester himself in the mountains. After discussing and agreeing on the destination, Jeff had the trip planned and booked within hours. 

Harry passed plenty of tiny cottages and cabins tucked away in the forest alongside the highway, but as it got darker he focused more on the road ahead and fixed his eyes to watch out for any wildlife (he heard mountain lions were a possibility in the Winter). When he finally made it to his landing place, he was at the end of a long driveway in front of a cabin carved into a landscape of endless conifer trees. The cabin looked small and simple on the outside, the entirety of its exterior made up of orange-tinted pine logs. There was a foot of snow covering everything in sight, save for the walking path from the driveway to a front porch that spanned the width of the cabin. On the porch sat two Muskoka chairs, red, to match the front door. 

Sat in the two chairs waiting for him, unphased by the darkening skies and blowing snow, he presumed were his hosts. 

He exited his car and zipped his jacket all the way past his chin, a lame attempt to shield his face from the wind. As he made his way toward the porch, the older man and woman stood to greet him. Both were dressed in black puffer jackets and knit beanies, perhaps in their mid-to-late fifties. They appeared friendly, wearing bright smiles as they welcomed him to their vacation home.

“You must be Harry”, the man said, reaching out to shake Harry’s hand.

Harry returned the gesture, “Hello, yes, I’m Harry.” 

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Paul and this is my wife, Nancy.” 

“We hope you found the place OK!” Nancy chippered. 

“Thank you, I did.” He said, shaking Nancy’s hand next. “I appreciate you taking me in on such short notice.” 

“Oh, it’s no problem. We actually just had a cancellation before your manager contacted us. Our daughter was supposed to stay here with her partner for the week but their plans changed. So everything was already set up for guests!”

“Lucky for me then.” He said with a smile as Paul took his bag and Nancy moved to open the door to lead them all inside. 

Harry did a quick scan of the inside of the cabin from where he stood in the front entrance. He saw they’d already started a fire in the wood burning stove and spotted a cozy looking armchair where he knew he’d be curling up with his book. “The place looks great.”

“We’re glad you think so. Please, come in, get comfortable. This is your home now for a bit, after all!” Nancy insisted, fussing over him to take off his jacket and shoes. She reminded him a bit of his mother, something about her demeanor making him feel at ease. “You’ve had a long journey so we’ll leave you to get settled in and explore the place. Just a few things though…”

He kicked off his shoes by the door and followed behind the two as they led him past the living room and into the kitchen. 

“We’re going to get more snow tonight and you’re probably tired from your travels,” Nancy opened the refrigerator. “We’ve already stocked the fridge with all of our daughter’s favourites so there’s plenty of food that you can have.”

“Are you sure? I don’t mind getting my own.”

“Really, we’d rather it didn’t go to waste.” Paul chimed in. “But of course if there’s anything more you need, there’s some info in that binder on the table about going into town and grocery stores and restaurants and whatnot.”

“Alright, thank you. I really appreciate all this.”

“Of course!” He handed Harry a set of keys on what looked like a moose-head keychain. “Here’s the key. Our house is north of here, about 15 minutes away. So if you need anything just give us a call or text. Our address is in there too just in case.”

Harry bid goodnight to Paul and Nancy and once they were gone he took his bag and scoped out the cabin. It was a simple layout with two bedrooms just off the living room, a full bathroom between the two rooms and the open galley kitchen along the adjacent back wall, opposite the front door. There was a small kitchen island at the center in front of the red kitchen cupboards, and a wooden dining table for two in its own little nook off the kitchen. The cabin had a warm feel to it. The decor, you might say was quintessentially Canadian in the way they leaned into maple-scented candles, wood carvings of mountains hung on the walls, and no shortage of throw blankets and pillows adorned with buffalo plaid. 

Harry dropped his bag into the bedroom closest to the kitchen and was about to start unpacking when his stomach growled. Grateful they had left food for him to eat, he made himself a sandwich and got acquainted with where everything was in the kitchen before unpacking his things. He decided then that after he unpacked he would settle in for the night by the fire, brew some tea and maybe take a stab at writing. 

—————————

You hated driving in the winter. 

Were you competent and experienced enough to deal with the blowing snow and the black ice under your tires? Sure. But that didn't mean you enjoyed it. A lifetime of driving down the Parkway didn’t stop you from gripping the steering wheel so hard your knuckles were white, or straining your eyes in the darkness to avoid missing any moose or elk that might emerge from the trees. 

One thing you did like about road trips was that they were a great opportunity for reflection. You’d been driving for about 3 hours at this point, and had barely listened to the playlist you put on at the start of your journey. You were too busy keeping an eye on the road, or thinking about the last 72 hours, and playing out scenarios in your head where things had gone differently. 

You were exhausted, physically and mentally. Was it really only 72 hours since everything went down? 

You replayed your last conversation with Luke over and over again in your head, hoping that if you went over it enough you could better understand.

“I just can’t do it. Even if I came, I would have to bring work with me and I’d be working the whole time.” 

You were incredulous. Confused. Borderline seething. 

“This trip was supposed to happen last summer, Luke. We’ve postponed it twice already for your job.” 

“I know and I said I’m sorry. I just can’t up and leave right now.” 

“Did you not book off the vacation time? Your boss knows you're supposed to go away. It’s literally one week.” 

“Yes, I booked off the vacation time but I-”

“Well if you’ve booked it off and they gave you the time off what’s the problem?” 

“I just can’t go now, ok?”

“Is it that you can’t go, or that you don’t want to go?” 

That question had been lingering in the back of your mind every time the trip had to be postponed, but you never asked because you were afraid of the answer. You hoped that work really was so busy that he couldn’t take a week off, even though he had the vacation time approved by his boss. You wanted to believe that this was just the reality of being in a relationship with a lawyer. 

The trouble was that you’d been with Luke for two years and he had yet to meet your family. He seemed excited to visit the small mountain town where you grew up, citing that he’d always wanted to visit Banff and the Rocky Mountains. You met his parents and got on well with them and your relationship was moving forward, with talks of moving in together and maybe even a proposal on the horizon. 

However, every time you brought up visiting your family, he put it off and said he was too busy. You would visit home and he would stay back in Vancouver. Eventually he agreed to join you and the trip was booked, but at the last minute he claimed to be in the middle of an important case and couldn’t leave. You rescheduled twice since, and it was looking like you’d be adding a third. 

“Of course I want to go. It’s just not a great time right now.” 

“Is there ever going to be a great time? At some point I’m going to need you to make time for it, Luke.” 

You were beginning to think that he didn’t understand how important your family was to you. He didn’t understand that you needed to see how he fit into your family in order for the relationship to progress. Would he get along with your dad? Would he be kind to your mom? Could he be friends with your brother? You were realizing that maybe his lack of motivation to meet your family and see your home was all you needed to know. 

Before he could respond, you added “I don’t think I can do this anymore.” 

Of course over the last 72 hours you doubted yourself constantly. Had you overreacted? Should you have been more understanding about his job? You went back and forth, reminding yourself that you had a job too, sure it wasn’t as demanding as that of a lawyer, but no matter what you always found the time for things that were important to you. You even took a week off to go on a ski trip with his parents a few weeks ago.

After the break up, you called your parents to let them know you weren’t coming anymore. You fully intended to wallow in your apartment for the week and mourn your dead relationship. The wallowing lasted less than 24 hours before you decided the best antidote for a broken heart was a hug from your mom and a beer with your dad.

That’s how you found yourself on the Bow Valley Parkway at 11pm in the middle of a snowstorm. You thought it would be fun to surprise your parents, but now you were regretting that decision. You weren’t sure that the rental vehicle was equipped to deal with a January snow storm in the mountains and if you ended up in a ditch or hit by a moose, no one knew where you were. Knowing your parents, they were probably already asleep, and you didn’t want to wake them. You decided to spend the night at their guest cabin you had initially booked, with plans to surprise them in the morning.

—————————

Harry knew that a few hours on a plane and an evening in a log cabin in the middle of the wilderness wasn’t going to instantly fix his writer’s block. But he did hope his new setting might be able to wiggle some ideas free. 

As he sat with his tea and his journal open to an empty page, he begged the words to come to him. But he didn’t know what to say.

How could he write about a break up that he still didn’t even fully understand? 

He was just short of banging his head against the table and throwing his journal in the fire when a light shone through the window. 

A set of headlights turned onto the driveway, a small car bustling through the snow storm that had started raging outside. He looked to the door to make sure he’d locked it, in case someone was on their way to murder him in the middle of nowhere. 

Maybe Paul or Nancy forgot something, he hoped to himself. It was nearly midnight, so he knew that wasn’t logical. 

It was when you pulled up and parked next to his rental that he saw you in the driver’s seat. Your face was perplexed as you looked over at his vehicle and then to the log cabin. You awkwardly made eye contact through the window before you quickly looked away. 

Maybe she’s lost, he thought to himself next. 

He waited for you to come to the door, but you remained in your car. Eventually, thinking you looked harmless enough, Harry bundled up in his coat, slipped on his shoes, and went to meet you outside. 

—-

You whipped your head towards the cabin door when you saw it open to reveal a strange man walking toward your vehicle. 

Why is he coming out here? Oh god is he going to murder me? You thought. 

Embarrassed you’d been caught outside the cabin, you rolled down your window, “I’m so sorry! I didn’t think anyone would be here! I’m just leaving!“

You were hit with the realization of who was walking toward you, followed by some confusion.

What the fuck… 

And then panic when you realized he was walking up to your car. 

“I really am sorry this is my parents cabin and I thought no one would be here!” You shouted as he approached your opened window. “I didn’t mean to interrupt your evening.”

Harry fucking Styles crouched down to look at you through the driver’s side window. In the darkness, you felt his eyes on you taking note of your black and yellow North Face puffer jacket and the knit beanie on your head. There was a look of recognition on his face, perhaps noticing some of your features were strikingly similar to those of a woman he’d met only a few hours ago.

“Ah, you’re Nancy and Paul’s daughter.”

“Yeah, I am…So I’ll just h-”

“They said you’d canceled.”

“Oh? Yea, I did… I, uh, changed my mind, I guess. I didn’t think they’d book someone so quickly.” 

“It was good timing on my part, I guess.” 

“Right, ok, I’m so sorry for interrupting your evening! I’ll just go to their house!” It was nearly pitch black outside, save for the light of your headlights shining on the cabin in front of you. The wind was violent, whipping snow around him, and you felt bad that he was standing outside in the cold. His arms were crossed and hugging his jacket closed, talking to you while not wearing nearly enough layers to be outside.

Harry pondered for a moment, sucking his lips into his mouth and turning to look at the snow coming down around him. He was sure being from here that you had experience driving in weather like this, but he could not in good conscience let you leave without offering. 

“The snow’s coming down pretty hard. I was just having some tea before bed… Would you like to come in? At least until things calm down a bit.” 

Harry felt bold asking you to come inside when you were strangers. He could tell you were mulling it over, maybe unsure if you could trust him or if it would be appropriate. He wasn’t sure if it was either, but he kind of hoped you agreed to it anyway. Jeffrey would yell at him for this. 

“Are you sure?” You asked. Your first instinct was to outright decline the offer, but you knew the roads were treacherous and you were exhausted. 

“Yes, I’m sure.” He insisted. “Selfishly, I would never forgive myself if I let you go and you got into an accident or something on the highway.”

“Okay,” you agreed reluctantly. “I’ll come in just for a bit.” You got out of the car and followed him back quickly through the blowing snow and up the path to the front door. 

Once inside, he turned to you. “I apologize I didn’t even ask your name.”

You told him your name as you toed off your boots and took off your many layers of outdoor winter wear. 

“Well it’s nice to meet you. I’m Harry.” 

“Nice to meet you too, Harry. I know who you are, by the way. I’m a fan.” You paused and he noticed the way your face twisted, almost in embarrassment. “Ugh, sorry, is that weird to say?”

“Not weird.” He tried to reassure you. “Would be more awkward if you said you hated me or something.”

You took a seat on the sofa, grabbing the buffalo plaid pillow next to you and hugging it to your chest. You felt awkward. What was Harry Styles doing in your parents’ vacation rental? And what were you doing with him alone in the middle of the night? Were you going to sit here and chat with each other? Or would he carry on with his evening as if you weren’t here? 

You spotted his open journal and a mug of tea abandoned on the side table near the fire. He did mention having tea before, which was confirmed by him now filling the kettle with water. 

“Again, I’m sorry for interrupting. Really appreciate you letting me hang here for a bit.” 

He grabbed a mug from the cabinet to the right of the sink. It was the green mug you painted for your mom for Mother’s Day in middle school.

“You’ve got to stop apologizing. Very Canadian of you though.” 

“Right. Sorry. Shit.” 

Harry laughed whilst shaking his head at your incessant apologies. You liked his laugh. And his dimples.

OK, he’s cute, you thought. 

“Would you like a snack?” Harry called out, interrupting your wandering thoughts. “I’m pretty sure all of the food here was supposed to be for you anyways.”

Fort Belknap Indian Community celebrates reintroduction of locally extinct swift fox.

Aaniiih and Nakoda communities have organized the restoration of local native prairie ecosystems in this landscape of the northern Great Plains just north of the Missouri River. In 1997, Fort Belknap Indian Community organized the first-ever reintroduction of locally extinct black-footed ferrets to occur on tribal land. Fort Belknap has also organized the reintroduction of bison. Since 2020, the reservation has also organized the Fort Belknap Grassland Restoration Project, a program designed for Native youth to collect native grass seeds, practice plant identification, and learn about ecology, traditional stories, and Indigenous place names. Swift fox, an indicator species closely tied to the Great Plains, had been eliminated and driven extinct across the northern Great Plains due to US-government-supported wolf- and coyote-killing programs in the twentieth century. Beginning in autumn 2020, Fort Belknap released 27 swift foxes on tribal lands. Now, as of September 2022, there are over 100 swift foxes in this prairie landscape. Between September 2020 and September 2022, Fort Belknap has observed the swift foxes pairing and breeding at 4 den sites, and the birth of 20 swift fox kits. In the next few days, Fort Belknap will release another 28 swift foxes.

From a press release, September 2022.

Excerpt:

Today the Fort Belknap Indian Community commemorated three years of its swift fox recovery program with the release of three swift foxes on Tribal lands, bringing the total to 103 recovered back to these prairie grasslands. Based on post-release monitoring efforts, the native species is reproducing in the wild, which is a critical measure of success for a self-sustaining population.

“After being absent for more than 50 years, the swift fox has returned to the grasslands of Fort Belknap and our people could not be prouder,” said Harold “Jiggs” Main, director of the Fort Belknap Fish and Wildlife Department.

Over the last four years, the Nakoda (Assiniboine) and Aaniiih (Gros Ventre) Tribes of Fort Belknap have worked in collaboration with the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute, Aaniiih Nakoda College, Defenders of Wildlife, American Prairie, World Wildlife Fund and Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo on this five-year reintroduction effort.

This week, three of 28 foxes trapped in Wyoming will be released during a special ceremony held by the Fort Belknap Indian Community. The remaining 25 foxes will be released later this week. [...]

Monitoring efforts via GPS collar tracking show some foxes traveled long distances, including one documented over 200 miles away, while most have settled on Fort Belknap and the surrounding areas in Phillips and Blaine counties in Montana. At least four females and males (four dens) have been documented pairing up or “denning” and 20 kits have been born in the wild since the original reintroduction of 27 foxes in fall 2020. [...]

“It has been an honor for Defenders to play a role in the Aaniiih and Nakoda effort to bring back swift fox to their lands, and also as a long-term partner to recover buffalo and endangered black-footed ferrets back to their lands,” said Chamois Andersen, Rockies and Plains senior representative at Defenders of Wildlife. “Fort Belknap is truly a model in native plains wildlife conservation.”

The swift fox is the latest extirpated species to return to Fort Belknap, joining other iconic prairie species successfully reintroduced to Indigenous lands under the leadership of the Fort Belknap Fish and Wildlife Department. Historically, swift foxes lived across much of North America’s Great Plains.

“The vast grasslands on Fort Belknap provide a home to a variety of avian and terrestrial wildlife [...]. With support from numerous partners [...], the Aaniiih and Nakoda people have been bringing Indigenous wildlife back to these native grasslands for over three decades,” said Tim Vosburgh, wildlife biologist with Fort Belknap Fish and Wildlife Department. [...]

“Since its inception, American Prairie has taken inspiration from the land stewardship and rewilding efforts of the Fort Belknap Community. We are proud to stand with our neighbors and support the repatriation of swift fox to their home in Montana's Great Plains,” said Beth Saboe, senior public relations manager for American Prairie.

Swift fox numbers declined precipitously in the late 1800s, mainly due to poisoning intended for coyotes and wolves and the loss of grassland habitat. During this same time, they were also eliminated from the northern portion of their range. Swift foxes made a comeback after successful reintroduction efforts began in 1983 in Canada and on the Blackfeet and Fort Peck Indian communities in Montana. However, these reintroduced populations have yet to reconnect with populations in the southern portion of their historic range. Establishing a population of swift foxes on Fort Belknap’s lands will expand the species’ occupied range in the north and help bridge the distribution gap between existing populations to the north and south.

The Essential Guide to Residential Tree Removal in Calgary

When is Tree Removal Necessary?

Health Issues: Trees can suffer from various diseases or infestations that compromise their health. Signs include yellowing leaves, dead branches, or fungus growth. If a tree is too far gone, removal may be the best option to prevent the spread of disease to surrounding plants.

Structural Damage: Severe weather conditions, like storms or heavy winds, can damage trees, making them unstable. If a tree shows signs of leaning or has split branches, it poses a risk to your property and should be assessed by a professional.

How to Create a Beautiful, Low-Upkeep Outdoor Living Area

Transforming your backyard into a beautiful outdoor living area doesn't have to be a time-consuming or high-maintenance endeavor. With a thoughtful approach and smart design choices, you can create a stunning space that requires minimal upkeep. Whether you envision a relaxing patio for quiet evenings or a vibrant deck for hosting guests, the key is to balance aesthetics with functionality. 

In this guide, we’ll explore various strategies and tips for creating a low-upkeep outdoor living area that you can enjoy without constant maintenance. 

1. Choose Durable and Low-Maintenance Materials

The foundation of a low-upkeep outdoor living area begins with selecting the right materials. Opt for durable options like composite decking, which requires less maintenance than traditional wood. Composite decking resists rot, mold, and insect damage, making it an excellent choice for busy homeowners. Other materials to consider include metal, stone, and concrete, all known for longevity and minimal care requirements. To ensure your deck is built to perfection, consider hiring professional deck builders in Calgary who specialize in crafting low-maintenance, durable outdoor structures.

2. Incorporate Easy-to-Care-for Plants

A lush garden doesn't have to mean hours of weeding and watering. Instead, choose plants native to your area or thrive in low-water conditions. Native plants naturally adapt to the local climate, requiring less water, fertilizer, and care. Additionally, consider incorporating perennials, which come back year after year, reducing the need for replanting. Succulents, ornamental grasses, and shrubs are other great options that add beauty without demanding constant attention. Consult with local landscape contractors to help design a garden combining aesthetic appeal and low upkeep.

3. Invest in Smart Irrigation Systems

Watering your plants and lawn can be a major chore, especially during the hot summer. Investing in a smart irrigation system can take this task off your hands while conserving water. These systems use sensors and timers to water only when necessary, ensuring your plants stay healthy without over-watering. You can program them to adjust based on weather conditions, reducing waste and minimizing manual effort. Pair this system with a drip irrigation setup for garden beds to provide targeted hydration with minimal evaporation.

4. Design Functional and Versatile Spaces

A well-planned outdoor living area should serve multiple purposes, from dining and lounging to entertaining and relaxing. When designing your space, think about how you want to use it. Include comfortable, weather-resistant furniture that doesn’t require frequent cleaning or care. Multi-functional furniture, like benches with storage or modular seating, can help maximize your space while keeping it clutter-free. A fire pit or outdoor kitchen can also enhance usability, offering features that require minimal upkeep yet add significant value to your outdoor area.

Creating a beautiful, low-upkeep outdoor living area is all about making smart choices from the start. You can enjoy a stunning backyard without the constant upkeep by selecting durable materials, opting for low-maintenance plants, investing in smart irrigation, and designing versatile spaces. With the help of professional deck builders in Calgary and landscape contractors, you can transform your outdoor space into a relaxing retreat that offers both beauty and functionality.
