Ananda Landscapes Quoted as Landscaping Experts in Calgary Herald Article

Ron Jones was recently quoted in a Calgary Herald article on the importance of planning your landscaping in advance

February 17, 2012 (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) – President of Ananda Landscapes Ron Jones is proud to announce that Ananda Landscapes was recently featured in a Calgary Herald news article on the importance of planning in advance for spring landscaping projects.

Jones was contacted as an expert in the field of custom landscaping in Calgary for his opinion on why planning a landscaping project needs to start as early as possible.

“I was glad to offer my expertise to the Calgary Herald” said Jones. “I think it is great that this article educates readers on the importance of leaving yourself ample time to plan your custom landscaping project. Water features, outdoor kitchens, outdoor living rooms – these are all landscaping features that take time and care in order to plan and implement.”

Ananda Landscapes has already had many bookings for Spring/Summer 2012 and many include such complex features as swim spas, fountains, canopy beds, full outdoor kitchens and outdoor eating areas.

“The outdoor living spaces we design for our clients are uniquely theirs. We do not repeat any designs as to create a space that reflects our clients’ unique personalities and lifestyle goals. Our designs go far beyond a pencil sketch and a few pieces of sod, which is why they require such time and attention. We thank the Calgary Herald for bringing this aspect of our business to the public attention and we look forward to working with our wonderful clients this landscaping season” concluded Jones.

July 18, 2011 (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) - Ron Jones, President of Ananda Landscapes, announced today that the company is happy to welcome Colin Willis, who will be working underneath Senior Foreman David Percy, back for his second season.

 

Though still only a young man, Colin already has six years of landscaping experience under his belt. He is currently heading into his second year of the Environmental Horticultural Diploma program at Olds College, with a major in Landscape Management; the curriculum of this particular program combines a sound knowledge of horticulture along with technical skills. An area of particular interest for Willis has been expanding his understanding of over 100 ornamental plants and trees that are native to Southern Alberta.

 

Willis is excited to bring this newfound knowledge and his growing skill set back to Ananda. “I enjoy landscaping because I am able to create amazing spaces and legacies,” says Willis. “I am excited to be back working for Ron and Ananda because it is a workplace where creativity and fun are encouraged.”

 

Jones appreciates Willis’ understanding of the creative side of the landscaping business. “Colin is a focused young man who understands and enjoys the work that Ananda does – creating possibilities for our clients.” Jones originally wanted Willis on a different team but as soon as Senior Foreman David Percy learned that he was coming back he insisted that Willis join his team.

 

"I wanted to train him further because I see so much potential in this young man," said Percy. "He is the perfect right-hand man."
