Residential & Commercial Landscape Design/Consultation

Carol Rutherford is a Landscape Designer/Consultant with 25+ years in the Landscape Industry with a Horticultural background. My extensive experience and knowledge of plant material is beneficial for creating landscapes that thrive in the Okanagan climate.

The scope of my work has included both large and small residential projects, wedding sites, parks, hard scapes, patio designs, planting containers and commercial sites.

Landscape Design Services

  • Small & Large Residential Properties

    A solid landscape design can implement many features that allows for traffic flow and visual beauty. I meet with my clients to note what they are seeking and I can present options for any of their considerations.

  • Containers

    Planting containers can enhance and create visual interest on both residential and commercial properties.

    I have many years experience creating summer/winter containers on many sites. Knowledge of sun/shade plant material is key to the success!

  • Wedding Sites

    Many memories are made at wedding sites and it has been my privilege to design and create several in the Okanagan.

    Seasonal plantings must be incorporated into the design to sustain the wedding calendar.

Your Landscape Team:

  • My job as a Designer is to work with your visions, create a sustainable landscape that will meet your needs.

    Budget:

    Your design needs to work within your budget. A solid design can be installed in phases as per your budget, so it is imperative to have a overall design to work with.

    Plant Knowledge:

    A designer must have an extensive knowledge of plant materials and works in accordance with nurseries to ensure plant material is available or substitutions are required.

    Curbside appeal:

    This is extremely important when considering selling your property and needing to renovate an existing landscape. Your landscape design needs to enhance your home’s architectural style.

  • A good working relationship with a landscape contractor is extremely important for the following reasons:

    Scheduling:

    A designer meets to discuss and explain the landscape design with the contractor. At this time, a schedule is arranged and any concerns are addressed going forward.

    Project Management:

    Communication is conducted on a regular basis, on-site visitations take place to ensure that the installation is proceeding well or if any changes are required.
