WHAT WE’RE UP TO
818's very own Harrison with his band,@southwest.electric, delivered some tasty grooves at the Inglewood Night Market.
Community events like @inglewoodnightmarketyyc do more than just allow us to savour delicious treats and enjoy live music – they contribute to the vitality of our communities. These events have a remarkable ability to activate spaces by bringing people together and infusing energy and vibrancy into otherwise underutilised spaces.

Our studio has a favourite misconception we'd like to bust – the myth of a "no maintenance" landscape.
We all dream of that picture-perfect, zero-effort landscape where everything stays perpetually pristine. But here's the truth: unless you live on the moon, there's no such thing as a "no maintenance" landscape. Landscapes are living entities, and the wonderful part of being alive is that they grow, change, and adapt. Nature has its way, and a landscape, no matter how expertly designed, requires some TLC.
BUT, here's the silver lining : we can strive for a LOWER maintenance landscape. By making smart plant choices, using sustainable landscaping practices, and working with nature rather than against it, we can definitely reduce the amount of time and effort we spend on upkeep.

Things are shaping up over at the Coulee Ridge development in Medicine Hat! This community features a dry creekbed using sandstone sourced from a quarry near Cowley, AB. This sandstone is found at the base of the Rockies and is much denser and harder than typical sandstone.
Stay tuned for pictures of the water feature that is being constructed this summer!
