This modern yet rustic design is set in Calgary's southwest community of Spring Valley. The front retaining wall and planting scheme perfectly match the architecture of the house. The no maintenance deck offers spacious seating areas and the wood burning fireplace gives this yard a sense of rugged mountain charm with a touch of chic city sophistication. The retaining walls and multi-level planting, play and seating areas give the added privacy that homeowners desire without the sense of being closed in. Photo Credit: Jamen Rhodes
