As the temperature has been regularly rising above and falling below zero, Calgary’s pathways and sidewalks are treacherous with patches of ice. Although we never leave the southeast residential and commercial properties we serve without making sure each surface has been cleared down to the bare concrete, with weather like this (which has been very…
As another new year is about to begin, many of us are making resolutions for a happier and healthier next 12 months. As we concentrate on our personal and mental health, don’t forget that your outdoor spaces can be a huge contributor to your overall well-being.

At Mirage Landscaping, we are committed to being completely transparent with our snow removal contracts, but we know that, unfortunately, that’s not the case for every company. Snow removal contracts are often vague and lack detail, which can actually leave you open to liability. It’s important to know what to look for so that you…
Winter can be a real drag, which is why we highly recommend making the most of the holiday season. Not only is it an opportunity to spend time with those who matter the most to us, but it’s also a time to get into the fun giving, receiving, and, yes, decorating. Dragging out boxes of…

The snow came fast and furious in Calgary last weekend, but after three generations of performing commercial and residential landscaping services in our hometown we can say with some authority that this won’t be the last we’ve seen of nice weather. It’s fairly common in this city for there to be a cold snap in…
