Kelowna & the Okanagan

That slope, that dead corner, that yard you never use. It can be the best part of the house.

We build retaining walls, paving stone patios and driveways, pool and spa surrounds, and full backyard transformations. Tell us what you are working with and we will come take a look.

What are you thinking of building?

Three quick questions, then we book a time to come look.

Pick an answer for all three so we know what we are looking at.

Most Okanagan yards have the same four problems

If any of these sound like yours, it is fixable. It is just not a weekend job.

The slope you cannot use

Half the block is on an angle, so half the block is wasted. A proper retaining wall turns that grade into flat, usable ground.

The wall someone already tried

Built without drainage or a proper base, and now it is leaning. Rebuilding it right costs less than rebuilding it twice.

Lakefront wind, sun and runoff

Okanagan properties take a beating. Materials and drainage that work in other places do not always last here.

A yard nobody actually sits in

There is grass, and that is about it. No shade, nowhere to eat, nowhere the kids want to be.

The yard is usually the last thing people spend money on and the thing they end up using every single day of summer.

How it works

No call centre. No runaround. You deal with the people doing the work.

You tell us what you want

Send the form or call. Takes a couple of minutes.

We come and look

Mike or Tyson walks the property with you and talks through what is actually possible on your grade and your budget.

You get it in writing

A written quote with the scope laid out. No pressure to sign anything on the day.

Work we have done around the Okanagan

Real properties, real crews, no stock photos.

All our own work, on real properties around Kelowna and the Okanagan.

Why people call us, and who we are not for

Twenty seven years in this valley

Mike started KDT in 1999. His son Tyson runs jobs with him now. The people quoting your job are the people building it.

We build the hard stuff

Walls, grade changes, drainage, pool surrounds. The structural work most landscapers subcontract out.

In and out faster than most

Mike and Tyson run a tight crew that moves quicker than most landscape companies. Your yard does not stay torn up a day longer than it needs to be.

Straight up: we are not the cheapest, and we are not the right call for a mow-and-blow or a quick tidy before you list the house. If you want the lowest number, someone will beat us. If you want a backyard you actually use, that is the work we do.

Questions people ask before they call

Does it cost anything to have you come out?

No. We come and look at the property, talk through what you want, and send you a written quote. If it is not for you, that is completely fine.

What happens after I send the form?

Tyson calls you back, usually the same day. We book a time to come and walk the property with you.

How long does the visit take?

Usually half an hour. Longer if it is a full backyard and you want to talk through options.

Do I have to decide on the day?

No. You get the quote in writing and you take as long as you need. We would rather you were sure.

What if my yard has drainage or grade problems?

That is most of what we deal with. We will tell you straight if something needs sorting before the nice part goes in, and why.

Do you come out to my town?

Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country, Peachland, Summerland and Penticton. If you are nearby, ask.

Who actually turns up?

Mike, Tyson and the crew. We do not hand your job to a subcontractor you have never spoken to.

Can you work with what is already there?

Often, yes. Sometimes the existing base is worth keeping and sometimes it will fail again. We will tell you which.
