Outdoor Living Spaces in Kelowna, BC
Central City Landscapes designs and builds outdoor living spaces for homes throughout Kelowna and the Okanagan. From patios and fire pits to planting, water features and complete backyard transformations, we bring the different parts of your property together around how you want to live outside.
Your Backyard Should Feel Like Part of Your Home
The best outdoor spaces give you a reason to spend more time outside. A place to eat. Somewhere to gather around a fire. Space for the kids to play or somewhere quiet at the end of the day. We design the landscape around those moments first, then bring together the elements that make them possible.
What Goes Into an Outdoor Living Space
An outdoor living space can be as simple as creating a better place to sit and entertain or as comprehensive as redesigning the entire backyard. The right combination depends on your property, how you want to use it and what already exists around it.

Design the Space Around What You Want to Do Outside
Before deciding where the patio goes or which features to add, it helps to understand what you actually want from the property. An outdoor space designed for large family gatherings will look very different from one built around quiet evenings for two.
Through landscape design, we can plan the layout around the experiences that matter to you before construction begins.
Entertain
Create room for dining, seating and gathering without making the backyard feel like one oversized patio.
Relax
Build quieter areas around privacy, planting, shade, water or the views already available from the property.
Gather
Fire pits, seating areas and patios can create natural places for family and friends to come together.
Play
Lawns and open areas can be deliberately incorporated alongside patios and planting rather than being whatever space happens to remain.
Great Outdoor Living Starts With the Space Under Your Feet
Patios, walkways and steps establish how you move through and use an outdoor living space. Their layout determines where furniture can go, how different areas connect and how the finished space relates to the house and surrounding yard.
Central City's hardscaping services can bring patios, pavers, walkways and outdoor steps together as part of the larger outdoor living design.
Make the Fire Pit Part of the Space
A fire pit works best when the space around it is considered too. Seating, surrounding surfaces, pathways and the relationship to the rest of the property all influence whether it becomes a place people actually want to gather.
Central City can incorporate fire pit installation into patios and complete outdoor living spaces so the feature feels intentionally placed within the landscape.
Built-In Fire Pits
Integrated fire features can become a permanent focal point within a patio or gathering area.
Fire Pit Areas
A dedicated fire pit area can create a separate destination within a larger backyard, connected to the rest of the property through pathways, planting and surrounding hardscaping.
The Right Landscaping Can Make a Backyard Feel More Private
Outdoor living is much easier to enjoy when the space feels comfortable and intentional. Trees, shrubs and planting can help define different areas, soften neighbouring views and create separation around patios and seating areas.
By planning softscaping alongside the outdoor living space, privacy and planting can become part of the design instead of something added around the edges afterward.
Bring the Sound and Movement of Water Into the Space
A waterfall beside a patio or a fountain visible from a seating area can change how an outdoor space feels without changing how you use it. Water introduces movement and sound while creating a focal point within the surrounding landscape.
Central City can design and build outdoor water features alongside patios, planting and other outdoor living elements.
One Backyard Doesn't Need Five Different Contractors
An outdoor living project can involve excavation, grading, drainage, retaining walls, irrigation, hardscaping and planting before the final space comes together.
As a full-service landscape company, Central City can coordinate those elements through one landscape construction project instead of leaving you to manage each stage separately.
That means the patio can work with the grade. Drainage can be planned before hardscaping goes down. Irrigation can be installed before the planting and sod. And every stage can be built around the same finished property.
