We are a licensed supplier of CU-Structural Soil® in Alberta (also known as CU-Soil®) (U.S. Patent #5,849,069), a soil designed by Cornell University to improve the growth and development of urban trees. Developed as a way to safely bear pavement loads after compaction and yet still allow root penetration and vigorous tree growth, CU-Structural Soil® is intended for paved sites to provide adequate soil volumes for tree roots under pavements. It may be used under pedestrian mall paving, sidewalks, planting islands, and parking lots. CU-Structural Soil® is an innovative medium installed under pavement that improves street tree vigor and prevents sidewalk failure, frequent pavement repair, virtually eliminates tripping lawsuits, and greatly reduces the replacement of dead trees every 7–10 years.

Specified Per Project
CU Structural Soil is an engineered mix of soil, aggregate, and a polymer binder designed to support both tree growth and load-bearing surfaces like sidewalks and streets.
CU Structural Soil allows for healthier tree root growth in compacted urban environments by providing a stable, yet permeable foundation for roots to access water and nutrients.
CU Structural Soil improves root growth, resists compaction, and supports urban infrastructure, making it more effective than traditional soil in urban landscapes.

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!
