Central City Landscapes provides complete landscaping services for homes, commercial properties and developments throughout Summerland. From landscape design and construction to hardscaping, irrigation, grading and planting, we build outdoor spaces around the property and how you want to use it.
Summerland properties can come with very different surroundings and starting points—from established residential yards and lakefront areas to larger properties and newer development. The right landscape should respond to those conditions rather than treating every property the same.
Central City brings landscape design and landscape construction together to consider the layout, grade, water use, hardscaping and planting as parts of one property before the finished landscape takes shape.
Central City provides the services needed to plan, prepare, build and finish landscapes throughout Summerland. Projects can range from individual property improvements to complete landscape construction involving several services working together.
A finished landscape should be planned around more than how it looks on installation day. Lawn size, planting choices and irrigation all affect how much water the property requires and how it will need to be maintained through Summerland's dry season.
Planning those elements together gives you more control over where water is being used and where lower-water alternatives make sense.
Different areas of a landscape don't necessarily need to be watered the same way. Central City's irrigation services can be planned around lawn, trees, shrubs and garden areas so the system reflects what is actually growing there.
Sod can still be an important part of a property without covering every open area. Lawn can be concentrated where it will actually be used and balanced with planting, hardscaping and other landscape elements.
For properties where reducing water demand is a priority, drought-tolerant landscaping can combine lower-water planting, efficient irrigation and a more intentional balance between planted and built areas.
Summerland's own landscape standards emphasize native xeric or water-conserving plant species and high-efficiency irrigation in applicable regulated landscaping, which makes this particularly relevant locally.
An established yard doesn't always need to be stripped back to bare ground. Sometimes the best starting point is understanding what already works and rebuilding the parts that don't.
An older patio can become a better outdoor gathering space. Lawn can be resized or replaced in areas where it isn't being used. Irrigation can be updated around a new planting plan, and disconnected areas of the yard can be brought together through new pathways and hardscaping.
Through landscape design, Central City can develop a plan around what should stay, what should change and how the property can work better as a whole.
More space creates more possibilities, but it also makes planning important. Driveways, lawns, planting, pathways, patios and other outdoor areas need to feel connected rather than becoming separate projects scattered around the property.
A complete plan can establish where the more intensive landscaping belongs, which areas should remain open and how irrigation, access and maintenance will work across the site.
For larger transformations, Central City's landscape construction services can coordinate the groundwork, built elements and finishing as one project.
From established homes ready for a transformation to unfinished new properties, Central City provides residential landscaping throughout Summerland.
Projects can range from individual patios, irrigation systems and planting areas to complete landscapes involving design, site preparation, hardscaping, sod and planting.
Central City provides commercial and development landscaping for builders, developers, multi-family properties and commercial projects in Summerland and throughout the Okanagan.
Site preparation, hardscaping, irrigation and final landscape installation can be coordinated as part of one landscape scope.
Summerland includes a mix of established residential neighbourhoods, lakefront areas, agricultural surroundings and newer areas of growth. Central City provides landscaping throughout the community, with the approach changing around the property itself.
The District's current community plan identifies Lower Town, Trout Creek and Dale Meadows as established neighbourhoods. Lower Town sits along Okanagan Lake, while Trout Creek combines residential and agricultural context on the south side of Summerland.
From established properties closer to the lake to larger lots and residential areas further inland, we plan the landscape around the site's existing conditions and how the property will be used.
Take a look at some of the landscapes, hardscapes and outdoor spaces our team has been working on across the Okanagan.
A landscape isn't only something to look at. Patios, walkways, lawn, planting and gathering areas can change how much of the property becomes part of everyday life.
Central City can bring hardscaping, planting and outdoor features together to create outdoor living spaces for dining, entertaining, relaxing or simply spending more time outside.
The result doesn't need to be complicated. It needs to fit the property and the way you want to use it.
Landscape decisions affect one another. Hardscaping needs proper preparation. Irrigation should be installed around the planting plan. Grade influences drainage, and the layout determines how different parts of the property connect.
Because Central City provides both landscape design and landscape construction, those decisions can be considered together before construction begins.
