Hardscaping in Kelowna, BC
Central City Landscapes designs and builds hardscapes for residential and commercial properties throughout Kelowna and the Okanagan. From patios and pavers to walkways, steps and masonry, we create durable outdoor surfaces that become part of the way your property looks and functions.
Hardscaping Should Feel Like Part of the Property
A patio, walkway or set of steps shouldn't feel like something added after the fact. The layout, materials, elevations and surrounding landscape should work together to create outdoor spaces that feel intentional from one area of the property to the next.
What Does Hardscaping Include?
Hardscaping includes the non-living, built elements of a landscape such as patios, pavers, walkways, outdoor steps and masonry. These features create usable surfaces, define different areas of a property and connect the landscape around them.
Patios
Custom patio construction for outdoor dining, entertaining and everyday living, integrated into the layout and elevations of your property.
Paver Installation
Paver installation for patios, walkways and other outdoor surfaces with proper preparation beneath the finished material.
Walkways
Walkways designed and built to create comfortable, intentional connections between entrances, patios, yards and other areas of the property.
Outdoor Steps
Outdoor step construction for navigating elevation changes safely while creating a natural transition between different areas of the landscape.
Driveways & Paved Areas
Hardscape construction for driveways and other paved areas designed around the access, layout and surrounding landscape of the property.
Landscape Masonry
Concrete and stone masonry used throughout landscape construction to create durable structural and architectural features. Where masonry or hardscaping is being used to manage a significant change in elevation, it may also become part of a larger retaining wall solution.
Explore Retaining WallsChoosing the Right Hardscape for Your Property
The right material depends on where it will be installed, how the space will be used and the look you want to create. We consider the finished appearance alongside durability, maintenance and how the material fits with the rest of the property.
Pavers
A versatile option for patios, walkways and other outdoor surfaces with a wide range of patterns, textures and finishes.
Natural Stone
Natural variation in colour and texture makes stone well suited to landscapes where a more organic finished appearance is desired.
Concrete
A durable option that can be incorporated into a range of hardscape and masonry applications depending on the project.
A Hardscape Is Only as Good as What Is Underneath It
The finished surface is only one part of a hardscape. Excavation, base preparation, compaction, grading and drainage all influence how that surface performs over time. We put the same attention into preparing what's underneath as we do into laying the materials you'll see when the project is finished.
Excavation
The area is prepared to the depth and dimensions required for the hardscape being constructed. For projects requiring more extensive site preparation or changes in elevation, explore our excavation and grading services.
Base Preparation
The foundation beneath the finished surface is prepared to provide the support the installation requires.
Grading & Drainage
Elevations and water movement are considered as part of the installation so the hardscape works with the surrounding property rather than creating problems elsewhere. Properties with larger runoff or water-management issues may require dedicated drainage solutions as part of the project.
Hardscaping Creates the Foundation for Outdoor Living
Hardscaping can turn open or underused areas of a property into spaces with a clear purpose. Patios create room for dining and entertaining, walkways connect different areas and integrated features such as fire pits can make the finished space more useful throughout the season.
For projects that go beyond the hardscape itself, Central City can bring patios, fire features, planting and other elements together into complete outdoor living spaces.
Hardscaping Works Best When the Whole Property Is Considered
Hardscaping rarely exists on its own. Patios need to meet surrounding grades, walkways connect different parts of the property and finished surfaces need to work with drainage, retaining walls, irrigation and planting.
As a full-service landscape construction company, Central City can coordinate those elements as part of one complete project—from the groundwork beneath the hardscape through the surrounding landscape installation.
