Xeriscape

Water-wise design structured through strong material contrast and architectural planting.

Xeriscape in the Okanagan is not sparse — it is intentional. This style pairs drought-tolerant plant selections with gravel ground planes, structured shrubs, and warm-toned hardscape materials.

Key Elements:

• Gravel or decomposed granite surfaces

• Structural shrubs and textural foliage

• Reduced lawn or no lawn

• Mediterranean influences

• Low irrigation demand

Typical Plant Palette:
Lavandula, Perovskia, Artemisia, Sedum, Yucca, Festuca, Juniper.

Ideal For:
South-facing properties, sloped lots, and clients prioritizing water efficiency without sacrificing aesthetic impact.
