About Yard Busters: Your Trusted Calgary Landscaping Partners
Since 2002, Yard Busters Landscaping has been a staple of the Calgary outdoor services industry. What began as a local summer job for our founder, Wayne Van Meter, has evolved over two decades into a full-scale, year-round family operation.
We aren’t just a landscaping company; we are your neighbors. We live, work, and raise our families in Calgary, and that local pride is reflected in every sod roll we lay and every deck we build.

Our Proven 3-Step Process: Dream, Design, Build
We believe that a successful landscape starts with a clear plan. Whether you are looking for a small landscaping project in Calgary or a complete backyard overhaul, we follow a dedicated process to ensure your vision becomes a reality.
Step 1: Dream (The Vision)
Every great yard starts with a wishlist. Are you looking for a low-maintenance Xeriscape, a formal garden, or a wild, natural oasis? Think of your outdoor space as an extension of your home. We encourage our clients to explore ideas via Pinterest, neighborhood walks, and our own portfolio to define what matters most. Whether it’s a space for weekend BBQs or a private retreat, we help you define the “why” behind the project.
Step 2: Design (The Strategy)
This is where our expertise comes in. During our initial meeting, we evaluate the technical “bones” of your land. We assess grading, soil health, sun exposure, and water accumulation patterns. We then merge your wishlist with our technical knowledge to design a landscape that is both stunning and functional for the South West Calgary climate.
Step 3: Build (The Execution)
Finally, we bring the plan to life. At Yard Busters, we pride ourselves on dedicated project management. When construction begins, our crew is on your project and your project alone from start to finish. This ensures a higher level of craftsmanship, better communication, and a faster completion time.
Why Experience Matters:
The Yard Busters Advantage
In a crowded market, Yard Busters stands out by prioritizing the technical “boring” stuff
that ensures your project is successful and safe.
Unrivaled Safety & Insurance
We take the protection of your property and our crew seriously.
We don’t just meet industry standards; we exceed them:
$5,000,000 Commercial Liability Insurance
Comprehensive coverage for total peace of mind during large construction projects.
WCB Alberta Certified
Full Workers’ Compensation Board coverage for every member of our team.
City of Calgary Licensed

Specialized in the Calgary Climate
With over 20 years on the ground, we understand the “Calgary Challenge.” We know how the freeze-thaw cycle affects your retaining walls and which grass seed blends thrive in our high-altitude sun. This deep local expertise is why we currently hold Rank-1 positions for services like Sod Installation and Paving Stone Installation.
Landscaping Excellence for Every Scale
From large-scale property overhauls to small landscaping in Calgary, we bring precision to every project. We have earned our reputation as the go-to “landscaper near me” for homeowners in SW Calgary. Our landscaping division is equipped to handle the unique demands of the Alberta climate, ensuring your outdoor space is both beautiful and functional.
Complete Window and Exterior Care
A beautiful yard deserves a sparkling home to match. Our Exterior Division sets the standard for residential window cleaning in Calgary, offering a streak-free finish that includes skylight and solar panel cleaning. We protect your investment with a professional Calgary gutter cleaning service and high-pressure house washing services that restore your siding, driveways, and patios to their original glory.
Proudly Serving South West Calgary & Beyond
While we provide landscaping services across Calgary, we have a deep-rooted connection to the SW Calgary community.
