Professional Planting Services — South Okanagan
Choosing and planting the right trees, shrubs, and perennials for the South Okanagan’s unique climate is both an art and a science. The region’s long, dry summers, intense UV exposure, cold winters, and often alkaline soils rule out many plants that thrive in other parts of BC — and make others absolutely spectacular. A Cut Above Lawn Care & Landscaping brings real local expertise to every planting project, ensuring the plants we install are beautiful and genuinely suited to survive and thrive here for decades.
We work with residential and commercial clients throughout the South Okanagan to design and install planting schemes that complement their properties and landscapes. Whether you need a single feature tree properly planted, a complete garden bed redesign, or seasonal colour changes (spring tulips, summer annuals, fall chrysanthemums), our team handles selection, sourcing, and installation.
Proper planting technique matters enormously. We plant at correct depths, amend soil where needed, install root barriers where appropriate, and ensure adequate irrigation is in place before we leave. Every tree and shrub we plant is planted to the standards that give it the best possible chance at a long, healthy life in your landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which plants do best in the South Okanagan’s hot summers?
Lavender, ornamental grasses, Russian sage, drought-tolerant roses, native plants like saskatoon berry and wild rose, and many Mediterranean species thrive beautifully here. We’ll help you choose plants that match your water budget, sun exposure, and aesthetic goals.
Do you supply the plants or do I source them?
We can supply plants — we source from reputable local nurseries and can leverage our trade relationships for good pricing. You can also supply plants yourself and have us do the installation. Many clients prefer to let us handle everything, which simplifies the process significantly.
