The delivery schedule was tight, but Eagle Lake worked closely with us to ensure everything stayed on track.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Eagle Lake Professional Landscape Supply for many years. We trusted them to assist us with a unique indoor garden project in downtown Calgary. Tasked with creating custom soil blends to meet specific architectural requirements for a tropical garden, Eagle Lake tackled some serious challenges with us. They produced 50 cubic yards of high-quality soil late in the season and expertly packed it into 50-pound bulk bags to navigate the building’s elevators—a logistical hurdle they made simple. The delivery schedule was tight, but Eagle Lake worked closely with us to ensure everything stayed on track. Thanks to their dedication and flexibility, the garden is flourishing today. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner on this project!
