At The Rusty Shovel, we’ve partnered with Alicia at Thrive Landscape Design to offer full service, custom 2D+3D landscape design packages.

Alicia has been designing yards in Saskatchewan since completing her Prairie Horticulture Certificate in 2009. She even designed the initial layout for The Rusty Shovel showroom when we opened the doors back in the spring of 2010!

After years of collaboration, Alicia has officially taken up residency at The Rusty Shovel in 2023.

1. Every plan starts with a $250 consultation. Alicia meets with you on site to learn about your project and take measurements.
2. Design Package Proposal – Pricing for your custom project provided for approval.
3. Approve the project and she’ll get started on the design.
4. Work through any revisions required and finalize the design.
5. We’ll help you get your project built.
   1. Do-it-yourselfer? We’ll show you how to build it.
   2. Want someone to build it for you? We’ll use our Contractor Referral Program to secure quotes on your behalf – with no up-charge.

Out of town customer? No problem.

We can come to you for an additional charge or save the costs and ask us about supplying your own measurements and site photos for your meeting.

Packages are custom priced per project, but typically range between $800-$2500.

During the busy season, consults may require 8-12 weeks lead time. Once the consult is complete, designs can typically be completed in a 4-6 week timeframe (depending on revisions required).

So if you want your project completed in the spring/summer, you’ll want to start planning your project by summer/fall of the preceding year if possible.
