Xeriscaping: Smart Landscaping for Kelowna's Climate
Kelowna sits in a semi-arid steppe climate zone (Köppen BSk), experiencing hot, dry summers with average temperatures reaching 28°C in July and August. Traditional lawns demand constant irrigation— a challenge during Okanagan water restrictions.
Xeriscaping offers a sustainable alternative. By grouping plants into hydrozones (low, medium, and high water needs) and incorporating drought-tolerant species, you can maintain a beautiful landscape with minimal irrigation.
Drought-Tolerant Plants for Kelowna
- Shrubs: Oregon grape, common lilac, gold coast juniper, hedge cotoneaster, red currant
- Ground covers: Low-growing perennials, clover lawns, creeping thyme
- Ornamental grasses: Blue fescue, feather reed grass, native bunchgrasses
- Succulents: Sedums (stonecrop), hens and chicks, prickly pear cactus

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does landscaping cost in Kelowna?
Landscaping costs in Kelowna vary by project scope. Basic lawn care runs $150-$500/month. Landscape design packages start at $4,800-$6,000 for standard residential lots. Full yard renovations typically range from $15,000 for mid-range projects to $150,000+ for luxury lakefront properties. Hourly labour rates average $75-$130 per person in the Okanagan.
What is xeriscaping and why is it popular in Kelowna?
Xeriscaping is low-water landscaping designed for drought conditions. It's popular in Kelowna due to the Okanagan's semi-arid climate (Köppen BSk), hot dry summers averaging 28°C, and frequent water restrictions. Xeriscaping uses drought-tolerant plants like Oregon grape, juniper, and native ornamental grasses, grouped into hydrozones by water needs. Once established, xeriscaped gardens need minimal irrigation.
When is the best time to start a landscaping project in Kelowna?
The ideal time to start landscaping in Kelowna is April through June, when soil temperatures warm but before peak summer heat. This gives plants time to establish roots. For xeriscaping projects, fall planting (September-October) also works well, allowing root development over winter. Avoid major installations during July-August heat or frozen ground conditions.
Do you service areas outside Kelowna?
Yes, we provide landscaping services throughout the Central Okanagan including West Kelowna, Lake Country, Peachland, and surrounding areas. We service all Kelowna neighborhoods including Rutland, Glenmore, Mission, Lower Mission, Dilworth Mountain, and the downtown core.
How often should I water my lawn in Kelowna's climate?
In Kelowna's semi-arid climate, established lawns need deep watering 2-3 times per week during summer, preferably early morning. Each watering should provide 1-1.5 inches of water. New sod requires daily watering for the first 2 weeks. During drought restrictions, consider converting to drought-tolerant alternatives like clover lawns or xeriscaping.
