Mike and Sarah De-Michele, the husband-and-wife team behind Urban Oasis Developments, love to be creative. It’s why they left the Okanagan to come back to Calgary, and it’s why they launched their landscaping and outdoor development company. “Outdoor Oasis started by demand,” Mike says. “We saw a need in Calgary for landscaping companies that could do it all and tie all the elements of outdoor home design together. There was a need for people who can do custom work.”
Mike himself has extensive experience in the construction business, but it was in landscaping that he discovered his passion. “This company started as a hobby and job,” Mike says. “I did some renovations and built a couple of homes, but when I started doing landscaping, I discovered I really like working outdoors and creating outdoor spaces.”
