In the spring of 2015, when Calgary’s backyard landscapes often mirrored each other in predictability, one visionary dared to reimagine the ordinary. Mumtaz Mirza, who goes by Taz, founded Tazscapes with a clear purpose: to design outdoor spaces that would become personal sanctuaries where functionality met beauty. It wasn’t about competing with others in the landscaping business but about carving out a new standard for what a yard could be.
Armed with a master’s degree in landscape architecture and a passion sparked by studying stunning landscapes around the globe, Mirza started Tazscapes as a design-only firm. For two years, clients entrusted him to envision their dream yards, trusting his eye for detail and ability to bring artistry to outdoor spaces.
After two years of design-only services, Tazscapes became a comprehensive company delivering results from start to end. The transformation was bold and ambitious. Mirza assembled a team of expert carpenters, water feature specialists, hardscapers and softscapers to bring his designs to life. It marked a turning point, signalling a dedication to creating outdoor spaces beyond functionality, transforming them into personal sanctuaries.
A name built on thoughtful intention and expert craftsmanship
Behind every garden path, perfectly placed stone and lush greenery lies a story — one of craftsmanship and intention. Tazscapes’ work draws on a deep understanding of landscape architecture, distilling timeless design principles into intimate backyard settings.
Each project starts with a blank canvas, but not one without meaning. Mirza and his team approach every yard with thoughtful design, understanding how spaces are used and how they can shape the lives of those who inhabit them. The result? Stunning landscapes that are as functional as they are breathtaking.
Extraordinary spaces for everyday moments

Calgary’s unique climate and natural beauty inspire much of Tazscapes’ work. Yet, the vision goes beyond local landscapes.
