Shuswap Lake’s Finest Landscaping Company.

We offer hand rendered (to scale) landscape design plans that are one of a kind. They allow you to visualize the possibilities that are available to you in relation to the existing buildings on your property. Should you choose to build your outdoor space in stages, it is a valuable tool in planning so completed areas are not damaged while working on other areas.

Every design comes with a sketch (not to scale) so the client can visualize their plan.

Hand rendered (to scale) landscape design plans cost between $800 to $1,500.

On-site design consultation & sketch (not to scale) $65 per hour.

Xeriscape landscaping is a special kind of landscaping designed specifically for areas that are susceptible to drought, or for properties where water conservation is practiced.

In some areas, terms such as water-conserving landscaping, drought-tolerant landscaping, and smart scaping are used instead. The use of plants whose natural requirements are appropriate to the local climate is emphasized, and care is taken to avoid losing water to evaporation and runoff.

We have designed and built a variety of outdoor fire features. Depending on our clients’ needs and desires, the design can be as unique as our clients.

Some design ideas include cutting in large natural boulders into paving stone fire areas for seating, creating a compacted gravel area for a fire ring, or using circular or angular paving stones to achieve the look and feel you desire. With the fire season being what it is here in the Shuswap, some of our clients are now opting for a movable propane fire ring positioned on a custom paving stone pad.

Newscapes Landscaping offers a full range of irrigation services to help protect your landscaping investment. Automatic irrigation systems are not only a convenient way to keep your grass and plants healthy, they are also much more effective than hand watering. Irrigation systems are also the most environmentally friendly way to water your grass or gardens.

A variety of components are available from low flow drip systems (micro sprayers, bubblers, shrubblers) for planter pots and boxes, to pop up sprayers and pop up rotor sprinkler heads depending on the water flow, pressure and area to be irrigated. We can also install semi-manual systems, based on our clients’ needs.

Outdoor landscape lighting not only adds beauty to your landscaping, patio and walkways, but also increases outdoor safety and visibility at night.

Lighting is also an excellent home security solution, as those who may consider trespassing on your property, are far less likely to do so when your property is perfectly lit.
