What is a Garden Suite
A garden suite is a permanent, self-contained living space built in the backyard of a residential property. These structures range in size from 400 to 800 square feet, but they can be as large as 2,000+ square feet if space permits. They may also be attached to other backyard homes, or be suites situated above garages, creating multiple living suites now known as “backyard housing”.
To qualify as Backyard Housing in Edmonton, the unit must include:
✔ A kitchen
✔ A bathroom
✔ A sleeping area
✔ A living space
This independent living arrangement provides privacy and convenience, making it ideal for multigenerational families, rental income, or housing guests.
Why Build a Garden Suite and what are the Benefits?
A Smart Infill Housing Solution
Backyard Housing is a form of infill development that promotes urban density, sustainability, and affordability. Instead of contributing to urban sprawl, these homes allow for more housing in existing neighborhoods.
Keeps Families Together
Garden Suites allow homeowners to provide housing for aging parents, adult children, or extended family members. Seniors can stay close to loved ones while maintaining their independence, and young adults can have an affordable living space while attending university or transitioning into the workforce.
Mortgage Helper & Rental Income
Backyard Housing is a great investment opportunity, providing rental income that can offset mortgage costs. Whether used as a long-term rental or a short-term Airbnb-style unit, it offers a steady stream of passive income while adding value to your property.
Environmentally Friendly & Sustainable
Building within existing urban areas reduces land use, minimizes infrastructure expansion, and promotes walkable communities. Backyard Housing helps Edmonton grow sustainably while reducing its environmental footprint.
Backyard Housing Foundations: Why Choose Helical Screw Piles?
A strong foundation is critical to the longevity and stability of any structure, including Backyard Housing. Edmonton Screw Pile Pros specializes in helical screw pile foundations, an ideal solution for garden suite construction.
What Are Helical Screw Piles?
Helical screw piles are steel shafts with helical plates that are screwed deep into the ground to create a stable, long-lasting foundation. Unlike traditional concrete foundations, helical piles offer faster installation, minimal site disruption, and superior adaptability to various soil conditions.
Advantages of Using Helical Screw Piles for Garden Suites
✔ Quick Installation: Helical piles are installed in hours, allowing for immediate construction to begin.
✔ Minimal Excavation & Disruption: No heavy digging or concrete curing time required.
✔ Strong & Durable: Provides superior load-bearing capacity, ensuring long-term structural stability.
✔ Ideal for Edmonton’s Soil Conditions: Screw piles adapt to diverse ground conditions, including clay, sand, and loamy soil.
✔ Cost-Effective: Reduced labor and material costs compared to traditional concrete foundations.
✔ Eco-Friendly: No need for large-scale excavation, making it a more sustainable option.
At Edmonton Screw Pile Pros, we ensure that your Backyard Housing foundation is installed accurately, securely, and built to last.
