Meet Rodney
I truly love designing yards in Edmonton because I enjoy the unique challenge our climate brings to every project. I work with Edmonton homeowners and small commercial properties who want long-lasting, low-maintenance outdoor spaces. My goal is to help you create a space that remains functional and beautiful through all four seasons, no matter what the weather throws at us. There is a special kind of pride I feel when I'm on-site, working with my hands to watch a 3D plan finally grow into a finished outdoor home.
From intricate stone work and durable hardscapes to lush, 3D-planned landscape designs, I personally oversee every project to ensure the highest standards of craftsmanship. At Sakura, we don't just build yards; we build lasting impressions that stand up to the Alberta climate.
Our Core Creative Strategy
My design philosophy centers on creating outdoor spaces that harmonize with the Edmonton climate while putting function first and aesthetics second. By choosing sustainable plants that thrive in Alberta, I ensure your yard remains beautiful through every season. When you work with me, you can expect transparent pricing, clear timelines, and open communication from the first sketch to the final build. I provide contractors with meticulously detailed plans and offer full support throughout the construction phase to ensure your vision is realized exactly as planned.
Every project begins with a focus on usability and year-round resilience.
Professional blueprints designed for seamless contractor execution.
Sustainable landscapes engineered for Alberta's diverse weather.

Client Testimonials
“Sakura Landscaping did a lovely job of our front yard, which needed a lot of fixing up! Rodney listened carefully to what we wanted and made helpful, constructive suggestions. He was very professional on the job, punctual, organized and went over and beyond with things, especially when we needed help getting our new tree delivered and planted. Rodney is an excellent commentator and reasonably priced. We loved his 3D landscaping plan; it gave us a much better idea as to how it would all look. We highly recommend him for any landscaping job - he is awesome, trustworthy and we are thrilled with the final result. You will see the before and after pictures, with the seeded lawn coming in very well and it looks wonderful! Thank you for a job exceptionally well done!”
“We couldn't be happier with Sakura's work redoing our back yard into a much more useable space, and landscaping our front to make our house stand out on the block. Rodney was on budget, on time, and professional. He worked with us after we changed our minds on an area he'd already begun working on, ensuring we were happy. He even continues to be helpful whenever he can even long past the last payment being processed. He's popped by a couple times to help me out with small things on separate projects, truly going over and above sharing his knowledge to help. Couple pictures of our yard below after his work, more should be on his website soon. Even though his work speaks for itself, I highly recommend Sakura also.”

“We hired Sakura Landscapes and Design to re-do our backyard and we are so very happy with the results. Rodney has gone above and beyond to make sure everything is to our liking and ensured that our backyard looks exactly how we wanted it to. Our backyard used to be mostly concrete with shrubs growing around it but now we have beautiful grass and a patio area, perfect for family gatherings and for our toddler to play without getting hurt. Rodney was very clear in what we could expect and delivered nothing but great service and a beautiful backyard to spend our summer days in. My family and I are truly grateful for the work, time and effort Rodney dedicated in making our backyard a part of our home that’s functional and enjoyable.”
