Vermilion Hill is designated a dark-sky community, reducing light pollution and creating the feeling of an escape from the city – yet it still offers sweeping skyline views, immediate access to Fish Creek Park, and a quick route west to the mountains. Wilco has delivered a broad range of work here, including storm ponds, park spaces, elm-lined boulevards, traffic circles, and showhome landscaping. Throughout the community, rock walls and natural stone features reinforce Vermilion Hill’s mountain-inspired aesthetic. Wilco’s commitment to establishing strong, healthy landscapes is evident in the rapid growth and maturation of native grasses and plant material. With a dedicated grow-in team, temporary irrigation systems, and the use of non-potable water, the landscape comes together quickly, allowing the community to present itself beautifully to prospective homebuyers. Our team takes great pride in helping clients showcase their vision through well-executed public spaces. This summer, Wilco completed the large central greenspace – including sports fields and the future school site – solidifying Vermilion Hill’s role as a vibrant, nature-focused neighbourhood.
