CLS Landscape: Enhancing Calgary's Natural Beauty

CLS is a Calgary based landscape company that is built on the foundation of the relationships we have created with our community, customers and employees. As we've grown over the past decade, we've put together a team of professionals and landscapers who are driven by diligence, craftsmanship and a passion for what they do. We truly believe that collaboration is the key to success and are committed to working with our clients to see their vision for their outdoor living space brought to life.

 

Meet CLS’s Landscape Professionals

 

Janelle Leary BBA, BBE
President & Founder

As one of the founders of CLS, Calgary’s landscape company, Janelle has been leading the team since they started. She focuses on the management of CLS, but don’t be surprised if you see her hop in the loader to help load up some mulch in the yard. Janelle loves collaborating with clients and working with the CLS team to exceed customer expectations. One of the favourite parts of her job is seeing a customer's vision come to life. Behind the scenes, Janelle makes sure that everyone on the CLS team feels like part of the family. One of the best pieces of advice Janelle says she ever got was that discipline equals freedom. That's why when she's not working hard at CLS she enjoys travelling the world and raising her three kids with her husband and business partner Cooper.

Cooper Leary BBA, BBE
Vice President & Founder

As a self-proclaimed CLS superhuman, Cooper shares his love of providing world-class customer service and landscape expertise with CLS co-founder and his wife, Janelle. Together they're a customer service power duo and proud parents to three girls. You can find him in all parts of the business: on-site with the landscape construction crew, working with customers or helping Janelle with management. When he isn't fulfilling his role as the funniest CLS team member you can find him enjoying a round of golf or travelling with his family.

Scott Flegel
Construction Manager

Everyone has “a guy” they can rely on for all things landscape construction. With 25+ years of experience in construction project management, Scott's our guy. He manages all aspects of install operations, construction staff, equipment and client interaction on projects. Helping clients realize the full potential of their outdoor living space gets him giddy, along with thinking about his favourite Dave Mathews concert at the West Palm Beach Amphitheater and of course spending time with his wife and twins. Oh, and maybe BBQ ribs too. Scotts best piece of advice? It’s not a problem until it is a problem, don’t focus on the negative.

Kaylee Stanlick
Location Manager (Calgary South)

Being a left-brain thinker, Kaylee enjoys the math and logic behind executing a landscape project. She loves working out all of the details of a project with our contractors and customers and seeing the final product. Her favourite part of working at CLS is seeing our regular contractors and repeat customers, giving her a chance to catch up and chat about exciting new projects. But she doesn't mind driving around in a loader, digging into giant piles of dirt and rocks, and dumping product in trucks- honestly, who wouldn’t? During her spare time, you can find her hanging out with her family, including her cat Elvis and tending to her many house plants.
 

James Zolkavich
Sales Manager

James is our Sales Manager and brings 30 years of experience working in the landscape industry. From manufacturing at Expocrete to ensuring top-notch service for our residential and commercial customers, he's dedicated to making CLS the landscaper's top choice in Calgary. He's celebrating 25 years of marriage with his lovely wife Jodi and chasing around Marvin, their energetic Golden retriever. From hitting the golf course to snowmobiling and fishing adventures, James knows how to enjoy life to the fullest.

Morgan Martel
General Manager

Morgan Martel, our General Manager at the Calgary South location, is a seasoned veteran with 30 years in the landscape supply industry. His roots run deep, having grown from the family business to a mainstay in the Hardscape Supply segment in Alberta. Armed with a Bachelor's degree in Science and a Master's in Business Administration, he's driven to elevate CLS in the Calgary market, and beyond. Father to soccer enthusiasts Carson and Bentley, and husband to physiotherapist Kiley, he balances his family time out by being a big sports fan as well.

Brenden Stock
Yard Foreman

Brenden brings a ton of experience in landscaping installations and product knowledge to help customers with their projects. He is the customer service lead and ensures everyone has a welcoming and positive experience. In another life, Brenden was a competitive bodybuilder. You can put his strength to the test next time you need help lifting something in the yard. (Just kidding - kind of!) 

Calvin Ames
Yard Foreman

As our Yard Foreman, Calvin has been working in the landscape industry since he was 5 years old (yes five years old), and he loves interacting with customers and helping them to transform outdoor spaces with the latest in landscaping products. When not working, you’ll find him fishing and playing gigs with his band The Velvet Peril, mix in his knack for concocting unparalleled martinis, and you've got the recipe for a man who masters both work and play.
 

 

Committed to Excellence: The Growth Story of CLS Landscape

CLS was founded in 2009 with the first location in Cochrane which inspired the name, Cochrane Landscape Supply, which was then shortened once CLS expanded into Calgary. Today, CLS Landscape is known as an industry-leading organization centered around empowering people and providing welcoming experiences to both customers and staff. Over the years, the focus on continual improvement and innovation has enabled CLS to grow to better serve our valued clientele by, opening new locations and selling products online to offer convenient landscape supplies to contractors and homeowners.
