Commercial Landscape Design in the Okanagan
Landscape design for businesses, strata corporations, and institutional properties — built around durability, approvals, and the realities of a shared or commercial site.

Landscape design packages start at $1,500 for 2D design and $2,500 for 3D design, with large or highly detailed properties running $3,500-$6,000+.
Final design fee depends on approximate property size, whether it is front yard, backyard or full property, number of revisions, and whether construction drawings are required — these are confirmed at consultation.
This calculator provides an early budget range only and is not a formal quote. Final pricing depends on site access, existing conditions, excavation, grading, drainage, material selections, engineering, permits, electrical and plumbing requirements, and the final approved design. Pricing is shown in Canadian dollars and excludes GST unless otherwise stated. A site consultation is required to provide an accurate proposal.
A different client, a different set of constraints
A residential backyard answers to one homeowner. A commercial or strata property answers to a board, a property manager, a budget approved months in advance, and dozens or hundreds of people who use the space every day. We design for that reality. Sightlines matter for security and signage. Snow storage and drainage have to work at scale, not just on paper. Plant selections need to hold up to salt, foot traffic, and long stretches between waterings, since Kalagan designs and builds the landscape but does not provide ongoing maintenance — whoever inherits the site afterward, whether that’s an in-house crew or a maintenance contractor, needs a design that’s genuinely low-fuss to keep looking sharp. For strata councils in particular, we also think in terms of budget-per-unit: what a proposed amenity space costs divided across the number of owners who’ll be asked to approve it, so the number on the page matches the conversation happening in the boardroom.
Commercial Landscape Design: Materials & Process
Commercial and institutional sites get commercial-grade specifications: reinforced base depths under paved areas rated for vehicle and equipment loads where needed, permeable paving in zones where stormwater management is a factor, and irrigation zoned so common areas, planting beds, and turf can each run on their own schedule instead of one blanket setting. Plant palettes lean on proven Okanagan-hardy species selected for salt and drought tolerance, with an emphasis on beds that stay tidy without constant deadheading. We build in clear service and snow-storage access from day one, rather than treating it as an afterthought once the planting is in the ground.
Process-wise, we start with a site and stakeholder assessment — understanding who approves the project, what the budget ceiling actually is, and what documentation your strata council or property manager needs to bring it to a vote or a permit application. From there we produce design packages suited for board presentations and municipal review, and where construction needs to happen around active business hours or resident access, we phase the build to keep disruption to a minimum. If your project also needs sign-off from the municipality, our permits and regulations guidance can help you understand what to expect from that process.

Trusted By Okanagan Homeowners
“Kalagan did an outstanding job on our major landscaping project that included two sets of stone steps, a large water feature, paving stone patio, several plant beds, irrigation system and lighting effects. Taylor brought a wealth of knowledge and ideas to the design process and was easy to work with. Communication was strong throughout the project and we heartily recommend Kalagan for your landscaping project.”
“Kalagan Outdoor Design completely gutted our backyard, then installed irrigation, new lawn, trees, shrubs, rock bordered planting areas and a new stone patio. We are absolutely delighted with the result. It far exceeded our expectations which were quite ambitious from the start. The entire team was a pleasure to work with — professional, courteous, creative and hard working.”
Common Questions About Commercial Landscape Design
How is commercial landscape design different from a residential project?
A residential backyard answers to one homeowner. A commercial or strata property answers to a board, a property manager, a budget approved months in advance, and dozens or hundreds of daily users — so we design around sightlines for security and signage, snow storage and drainage at scale, and plant selections that hold up to salt, foot traffic, and long stretches between waterings.
Do you work directly with property managers and strata councils?
Yes. We regularly present concepts and cost estimates directly to boards and property managers, and can structure the design and build phases around board-meeting approval cycles.
Can commercial landscape design include phased or multi-year budgets?
Yes. Many commercial and strata projects are phased over more than one budget year — we can scope a full design up front and sequence construction to match approved annual budgets.
What kinds of commercial properties do you design for?
Office park entrances, retail plazas, hotel and resort grounds, restaurant patios, and HOA or strata common areas, along with schools and municipal spaces.
