Central City Landscapes provides residential and commercial landscaping throughout West Kelowna. From complete landscape construction and hardscaping to grading, retaining walls, irrigation and planting, we bring the different parts of your property together through one experienced team.
Not every property starts with a flat, finished yard. Changes in elevation, unfinished areas, existing landscaping and the relationship between the home and surrounding outdoor space can all influence what should be built and where.
Central City approaches landscaping in West Kelowna by looking at the property as a whole. Through landscape design and landscape construction, we can plan the groundwork, built elements and finishing around the conditions already there and what you want the property to become.
Some properties need a single improvement. Others require several stages of landscape construction working together. Central City provides the services needed to prepare, build and finish residential and commercial landscapes throughout West Kelowna.
A change in grade doesn't automatically mean part of the property has to go unused. With the right planning, slopes and elevation changes can be incorporated into how different outdoor areas connect and function.
Depending on the property, that may involve excavation and grading to establish better elevations, retaining walls to hold or create usable areas, and steps or pathways to connect different levels.
The important part is considering those elements together. Changing the grade in one area can affect drainage, access and what can be built around it, which is why the groundwork should be considered before finished landscaping goes in.
Water follows the elevations of the property, which makes drainage an important consideration whenever a landscape is being reshaped or new hardscaping is being installed.
The right solution depends on where water is coming from, where it's collecting and how the surrounding property is graded. That can involve changing elevations, creating swales, installing catch basins or drainage piping, or combining several approaches.
Central City's drainage solutions can be incorporated alongside grading and landscape construction so water movement is considered before the finished landscape is installed.
Whether you're landscaping a new home, transforming an existing yard or improving one part of the property, Central City provides residential landscaping for projects of different sizes throughout West Kelowna.
That can mean building the entire landscape from an unfinished property or focusing on individual improvements such as a patio, retaining wall, irrigation system or new planting.
Central City also provides commercial and development landscaping for builders, developers, multi-family properties and commercial projects.
From site preparation and grading through irrigation and final landscape installation, multiple stages can be coordinated as part of one landscape scope.
Once the property works properly, the next question is how you want to use it. Patios, walkways, fire features, lawns and planting can turn different parts of a yard into spaces for dining, gathering, relaxing and everyday use.
On properties with changing elevations, those spaces can also be planned across different levels rather than trying to force the entire yard into one flat area.
Explore how Central City brings these elements together through our outdoor living and hardscaping services.
Take a look at some of the landscapes, hardscapes and outdoor spaces our team has been working on across the Okanagan.
West Kelowna includes a mix of established residential neighbourhoods, growing communities, commercial areas and properties shaped by the terrain along the west side of Okanagan Lake. Central City provides landscaping throughout the city, including areas such as Westbank, Glenrosa, Shannon Lake, Lakeview Heights, Rose Valley and Smith Creek.
From established properties in Lakeview Heights and Westbank to growing areas around Shannon Lake, Smith Creek and Rose Valley, the conditions and starting point can change considerably from one property to the next. That's why we approach the landscape around the site itself rather than applying the same solution everywhere.
A landscape can involve a lot more than what you see when it's finished. Excavation establishes the site. Grading and drainage determine how water moves. Retaining walls manage elevation. Hardscaping creates usable surfaces. Irrigation needs to be installed before sod and planting are finished.
Central City can coordinate those stages through one landscape construction project so each part is considered around what comes before and after it.
