Sherwood Park Landscaping FAQ

Do I need a permit for a deck or patio in Sherwood Park?

In Strathcona County, any deck higher than 0.60 m (2 feet) off the ground requires a building permit. Patios and "at-grade" hardscaping usually do not require permits, but they must comply with your property's specific setback and drainage regulations.

What are the landscaping requirements for new builds in Sherwood Park?

Most new Sherwood Park developments require front yard landscaping (sod and at least one tree or several shrubs) to be completed within one year of the Rough Grade approval. We help homeowners meet these developer architectural guidelines to ensure their deposit is returned.

Which plants grow best in the Sherwood Park/Strathcona County area?

We are in Hardiness Zone 4. We recommend hardy species like Lilacs, Ninebark, and Brandon Elms. For perennials, Peonies and Coneflowers thrive in our local soil.

Can you help with the clay soil issues common in Sherwood Park? Yes.

Much of Sherwood Park sits on heavy clay. We prioritize proper drainage and soil amendments (like sandy loam topsoil) to prevent water pooling and ensure your plants can actually breathe and grow.
