Central City Landscapes designs outdoor spaces around your property, how you want to use it and what needs to be built. From layout and hardscaping to planting, irrigation and drainage, we bring the different parts of your landscape together before construction begins.

A patio changes how you use the yard. A retaining wall can create space where there wasn’t any before. Planting, irrigation, drainage and grade all influence what works where. Good landscape design considers those decisions together so the finished property feels intentional rather than pieced together.
Landscape design brings the functional, structural and visual elements of a property into one plan. Depending on your project, that can include layout, grading and drainage considerations, hardscaping, retaining walls, irrigation, planting and outdoor living features.

A successful landscape isn't only about how the finished property looks. It should make better use of the space you have, respond to the conditions of the property and support the way you want to use it.
Every property has different dimensions, elevations, existing features and constraints. The design should respond to what's actually there.
Where you entertain, how much lawn you want, where you need privacy and how you move through the property all influence the right layout.
Because Central City also handles landscape construction, design decisions can be considered alongside the practical requirements of actually building the project.
A landscape design becomes much easier to execute when the people planning the property understand how it will actually be built. Central City can carry your project from the initial planning into site preparation, construction and final landscape installation.

Landscape design in the Okanagan must account for more than appearance. Hot summers, slopes, drainage, and water use all dictate what works for a property. Factoring these in early creates an outdoor space perfectly suited to your environment.
Irrigation, planting and lawn areas can be planned together to make more intentional use of water throughout the property.
For homeowners looking to reduce water demand further, drought-tolerant landscaping can also be considered during the design stage.
Grading, retaining walls and transitions can turn challenging elevation changes into functional parts of the design.
The way different parts of the property are exposed to sun can influence planting, lawn areas and how outdoor spaces are positioned.
