OUR COMPANY HISTORY

Owner & Business Intro:  A brief history:  Introducing Tim Madder, the owner of Tranquil Gardens Incorporated. Born and raised in Winnipeg some of my fondest memories were being outside as a child gardening with my mother and grandparents. Our family would have huge vegetable gardens to manage each season which were accompanied by numerous flower beds and fruit trees. A regular part of each day was spending time helping out in the yard during the growing season. I learned a great deal of gardening skills and a love of plants from the families "Green Thumbs" over the years. It was so enjoyable getting my hands dirty that it never really felt like work.
Fast forward to graduating from the 2 year Horticulture program at Olds College in 1992. Moving to Calgary after graduation working with the City of Calgary in a few roles including 3 years as a Gardener for the Calgary Zoo responsible for the grounds maintenance. It was at the zoo my plant knowledge expanded tremendously understanding the challenges faced by gardeners living in a temperamental Chinook zone. I would consult on and build numerous projects in the city while at the zoo which increased the desire to design/build on my own. I founded Tranquil Gardens Incorporated in January of 1999 to serve Calgary and area providing unique landscaping designs. This has been done with a focus on maximizing the potential of an outdoor space while using top quality materials that stand the test of time. Taking the extra time and effort to set the “bones” of each project is an essential component that sets us apart. Many of our clients have come to us as referrals since the beginning. We have had a number of satisfied customers utilize our services for multiple homes over the years. Our professionalism and meticulous attention to detail has often spilled over to include neighbors in various communities throughout the city. We have showcased our high quality designs with 3 homes in a row multiple times over the years.
It is the confidence our clients have shown in us and our process that drives our team each day to create amazing outdoor living areas. It’s greatly appreciated! Thank you.
