Landscaping isn’t just about plants and patios — it’s about planning, precision, and people. 

In this episode of our Blueprint Banter mini-series featuring Baeumler Approved members, Ryan visits Calgary’s Home Depot to chat with Thomas Rochow, founder of Oasis Landscaping. With nearly two decades of experience, Thomas shares how his team transforms outdoor spaces — from sod-covered lots to fully custom yards complete with patios, pools, putting greens, and decks. 

They dig into everything from: 

• Why proper prep work matters more than you think 

• Common mistakes in DIY landscaping (and how to avoid them) 

• Pressure-treated vs composite decking: what’s best long-term? 

• How poor drainage can destroy your dream yard 

• The “People First” philosophy that sets Oasis apart 

Whether you’re dreaming of a backyard upgrade or knee-deep in planning one, this episode is packed with real, practical advice you won’t hear anywhere else!
