What we do

The whole outdoor space, under one roof.

Most yards get split between a designer, a builder and whoever looks after it afterwards. We do all of it, so nothing gets lost in between and nobody has anyone else to blame.

Pools

In-ground pools with the deck, hardscape and planting designed around them, not dropped into a yard as an afterthought.

Retaining walls & hardscape

Walls, patios, paths and steps. Built from the base up with the drainage done properly, because that is what decides whether it lasts.

Learn more →

Outdoor living

Kitchens, firepits, covered spaces and lighting. The parts of a yard you actually use once the sun goes down.

Landscape design, 2D & 3D

You see the whole yard rendered before anyone digs, so you know what you are getting and what it costs.

Softscape & planting

Trees, shrubs, beds and lawn chosen for the site, the sun and the water it will actually get.

Maintenance

Ongoing care for the spaces we build, so the investment still looks right in five years.

How it works

From first call to finished yard, one crew.

1

You tell us what you're picturing

Fill in the form or call. We get back to you the same working day, because that is the bit everyone else gets wrong.

2

We walk your property, free

We come out, look at the space, talk through what's possible, and show you designs we've built for yards like yours.

3

A real budget number

We cost from built-in kits, so you get a genuine budget range in minutes rather than weeks. It's a budget, not a final quote, and we'll tell you exactly what could move it.

4

Design, build, look after it

Design, construction, planting, pools and lighting under one roof. No handing you off to three different companies.

What we design

You see the whole yard before anyone digs.

Every project starts as a full 2D and 3D design, so you know exactly what you're getting and exactly what it costs before a single machine turns up.

And this is how it turns out

The same yard, built.

Design is only half of it. We build what we draw, with our own crew, so nothing gets lost between the plan and the finished space.

The offer

A free design consult, and a real number while we're standing in your yard.

We walk the property, talk through what's possible, show you what we've designed for yards like yours, and give you a budget range you can actually plan around. No charge, no obligation, no chasing us for three weeks afterwards.

The honest part: we're not the cheapest, and we're not the crew for a mulch top-up, a mow or a one-off tidy-up. This is full design and build work: backyards, pools, hardscape, outdoor living. If that's not what you're after, tell us and we'll point you at someone better suited.

Common questions

Good to know before you book.

Is the design consult really free?

Yes. We come out, walk the property with you, talk through what's possible and give you a budget range. No charge and no obligation. If you decide to go ahead, the full 2D and 3D design package is the next step and we'll explain exactly what that involves before you commit to anything.

How fast do you actually get back to me?

Same working day. We're in the office Monday to Friday, 8 to 5, so an enquiry that lands Saturday night gets picked up Monday morning. Getting back to people is the thing we're known for and we're not going to be precious about it.

Can you give me a rough number before I commit to anything?

Yes, and that's the point of the visit. We cost from built-in kits, so we can put a genuine budget range in front of you in minutes rather than making you wait weeks. It's a budget, not a final quote. Site access, drainage, rock and material choices can move it, and we'll tell you which ones apply to your yard while we're standing in it.

Do you design and build, or just one of them?

Both, with our own crew. Design, construction, planting, pools and lighting all under one roof, and we can look after it afterwards too. You're not project-managing three separate companies who blame each other when something goes wrong.

Do you build pools?

Yes. Pools are a core part of what we do, along with the deck, hardscape, planting and lighting that go around them, so the whole space gets designed as one thing instead of a pool dropped into a yard.

Which towns do you cover?

Vernon and the North Okanagan. Coldstream, Lavington, Armstrong, Enderby, Lumby, and up to Salmon Arm and Sicamous. Pick your town on the form and we'll confirm we can get to you.

What happens after I send the form?

We call you back the same working day to hear what you're planning and book a time to come out. No sales pitch on the phone, and nobody is going to turn up at your door unannounced.

Are you insured?

Yes, fully insured, and we'll send you a copy of our certificate of insurance on request before any work starts.

How far ahead do I need to book?

Further than most people expect. We run a full schedule through the season and a build usually needs planning well before you want to be using the space, so the earlier you start the conversation the more of the season you get out of it.

Where we work

Vernon, and the towns around it.

We keep our radius tight on purpose. A crew that is an hour away turns into missed mornings and a job that drags, so we stay where we can actually show up.
