Lakewood Mythbusters
Breaking down the biggest homebuying myths
Fact. Myth. Or Legend?
Every growing community has its stories. Some are true. Some are rumours. And some become legends over time. Lakewood in Strathmore has heard them all. Instead of answering those questions ourselves, we asked the people who actually built it. Lakewood Mythbusters is a video series that explores the facts behind the land, the engineering, and the development of the community — through the voices of the experts behind it. Watch. Share. Decide for yourself.

Episode 01 - The Land, The Engineering, The Legend
“Lakewood was built on a swamp.” It’s one of the most common things people say... but is it actually true? In Episode 1 of Lakewood Mythbusters, we dig into the facts behind the land, the engineering, and the systems designed to support the community from the ground up — with insight from Jay Sheen of Lee Maher Engineering. From stormwater management to sump systems, this episode breaks down what’s happening beneath the surface — and how it’s designed to work. Because when it comes to where you live, you deserve the full story.

Episode 03 - Deep Utilities with BlueCon
In Episode 3 of Lakewood Mythbusters, we sit down with Matt Hassen and Ryan Hassen of BlueCon Excavating to explore the deep utility work completed at Lakewood. From trenching and pipe installation to compaction, subsurface water management, and long-term drainage planning, this episode offers a closer look at the infrastructure behind the community. Rather than relying on assumptions, we hear directly from the contractor who worked on site and saw the ground conditions firsthand. This episode helps explain how the land was prepared, how water is managed below the surface, and why the systems installed at Lakewood were built to support long-term residential development.
