About Common Ground YXE

So how can we simplify who we are?

We live in the hot, northern prairie of Saskatchewan. We specialize in Saskatoon landscape design & installation. We craft gardens in Saskatoon & we love every minute of it. To go into more depth, we are permaculture or whole systems designers. When we design we don’t just look at one element or function, we look at the whole picture. We design with you, the ecosystem & future in mind.

1) Our first service we'll explain is Design

Design is HUGE. It’s such an important part of the process of creating one’s dream landscape. It provides structure, clarity & reassurance for everyone involved. It ensures we all know what to expect. A design is necessary in creating a smooth transition from the old to the new. So, how do we design?

We take a look at the whole system. This can be in the city. It can also be used for farms, acreages or homesteads. We observe your property and come up with a design that is tailored to you & your space. Our design helps us see how we’ll move your yard closer to a healthy & functioning ecosystem.

We start the design process by discussing your goals, visions and needs. From there, we decide what elements to incorporate. These elements will be part of a system. They will all have their own functions yet simultaneously interact with each other. This creates a web of interconnectedness, just as nature does.

For example, your elements could be a vegetable garden, compost bin and toolshed. The functions are feeding your family, creating organic matter for the garden and harvesting rainwater off the toolshed. This creates a dynamic system where the compost bin and harvested rain water help the vegetables grow!

The creative process is unique & none of our designs are the same. Each has a specific theme & flow that helps reflect the beauty of nature back to us. Our designs include a comprehensive plant list, two revisions via correspondence & a to-scale digital copy of the master plan. As the design ideas come through & are actualized, it is truly a beautiful process.

This is the first of our posts about what we do & how we do it. At it’s core or essence, it’s simple. Once our worldview expanded as we saw all the cycles & connections in nature, the way we designed also evolved, expanded & improved. Through faith, trust & a connection to the land, we help guide the process of transforming your space! We live, breathe & embody Earth care.

Keep Growing,

P	Patrick McKenna on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We loved working with Cass & Taylor. After we set out our priorities and budget they took it from there and never deviated. Pretty quickly our yard looked even better than we envisioned and all done with broad smiles and good vibes. Will recommend.
C	Carole Toupin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cass and Taylor listened to our wants and needs, made great suggestions and created a beautiful and comprehensive long term plan for our acreage. They efficiently executed phase 1 of the plan , discussing any changes as necessary. It was fascinating to watch the evolution from plan to garden. They educated us on the plants and why they were chosen. They are very passionate about and committed to permaculture design and regenerative gardening, which shows in their work. We are looking forward to watching this garden grow and continuing to work with Cass and Taylor to complete the plan for our acreage. Would highly recommend hiring them. Maya, the puppy, was the added bonus!
B	Becky Logan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were very impressed with the whole experience with Common Ground! Cass and Taylor were fantastic to work with. They had good ideas, they were easy to communicate with, on time, and they worked hard, plus it was clear how passionate they are about their work. We hired them to fix some aspects of our front and back yards, and we honestly couldn't be happier with the results! Everything is looking beautiful, and it will only get better as things start to grow and bloom! We will definitely be having them back to help us with some other projects we plan to work on in our yard. We would definitely recommend the Common Ground team to anyone looking for a landscaper in Saskatoon!
J	Jay Kim on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had the most amazing experience with Cass and Taylor at Common Ground YXE. They were extremely creative and thoughtful when designing our front and back yards. Every aspect of our garden design was carefully thought out based on a number of factors: the architectural makeup of our property; access (or lack there of) weather components such as sunlight/rain/wind; the soil and existing plant quality; and most importantly, our lifestyle as the property's owners. The selection of plants was a collaborative process between our personal preferences and what's native to central Saskatchewan climate. We trust that our plants will thrive based on Cass and Taylor's ecological expertise. We learnt so much through their work and we're so excited to recommend them to everyone we know! Their work conduct is professional and extremely efficient. They are so passionate and hardworking, even in the hottest of summer days. We were so impressed with Common Ground YXE and look forward to watching their business grow and succeed for years to come.
A	Alison Philips on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I am delighted with the changes made to my garden. Common Ground has transformed a blank, rather boring yard into a wonderful garden space. Cass's eye for design combined with Taylor's instinctive knowledge of plants has produced a welcoming area. The work was done quickly. They have been a pleasure to work with. If i need more changes I will definitely contact Common Ground again.
J	Joanne Leow on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had such a wonderful experience with Cass and Taylor! They were incredibly collaborative and meticulous when it came to the design of our front lawn, helping change the space from monoculture turf grass to the native, drought resistant, and regenerative garden of our dreams. They worked on our space on the hottest of days this year with nary a complaint and did such a fantastic job. Also, bonus points to their adorable dog who is the world's best at fetch. We've met so many neighbours in the past few weeks as they stopped to compliment us and chat about how we have transformed the lawn. We highly recommend Common Ground YXE --- they are fantastic, dedicated, and thoughtful folks and we look forward to working with them again as our garden evolves... Here's to more fruit, more flowers, more native plants for the pollinators and the birds!
L	Lynda Kisby on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I am so pleased with the design of my back yard. Cass,Taylor and crew were absolutely super. They were always on time, worked very hard and efficiently. They have so much knowledge of all the plants and what would grow best in certain spots. Their advice for design fit perfectly for my yard and was appreciated. I can't say enough how pleased I am with the job they did. So please if you want to change your yard around, contact Cass&Taylor at Common Ground Regenerative Gardens. GREAT, GREAT JOB !! Thanks.
K	Katrice Nolan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was struggling with my gardens in the front lawn of my first home. I reached out to Cass & Taylor. They are so knowledgable about everything gardens. They designed and installed my two garden beds in only a couple weeks time. They responded to all of my questions very promptly and were great to communicate with. The gardens are BEAUTIFUL and so easy to maintain now! I cannot thank them enough!
