Sirocco Landscapes creates Softscaping and Xeriscaping masterpieces that compliment Kamloops’ climate.
Softscaping and Xeriscaping by Sirocco Landscapes
During certain times of the year, Kamloops really lives up to its desert status. Planning a landscape that will thrive in our diverse, arid climate is important to Sirocco Landscapes. For this reason, we offer xeriscaping – a type of landscaping that is designed to reduce your water demands while still creating a beautiful space. Xeriscaping is a special form of landscaping that is designed using drought resistant, native plants and an intelligent irrigation system that uses just the water necessary, nothing more. Not only does this reduce your water bill, it will also cut down on weed growth.
Xeriscaping and softscaping refer to all of the living elements that make up your landscaping, such as plants, flowering shrubs, trees, flowers, decorative native grasses, edible flowers, herbs, and vegetables. Sirocco Landscapes takes into consideration Kamloops’ natural ecosystem when embarking on both xeriscaping and softscaping projects. In addition to focusing on native plants (which we do while softscaping), we add in plants that either conserve water naturally, or require much less of it to live. As an added benefit, xeriscaping often requires significantly less maintenance!
Turf Installation and Permanent Landscaping
From year to year your landscaping will be updated – perennial plants and flowers will be replaced and annuals will react differently to changing weather patterns. However, you can rely on your lawn and permanent accessories for consistency. Permanent fixtures include decorative rocks, sculptures, planters, as well real and artificial turf. For best results, these features should receive regular maintenance throughout the year.
Trees, Shrubs, and Perennials
Kamloops provides a diverse climate, suitable for a wide selection of trees, shrubs and perennials. Based on your style and preferences, we will suggest the best options for your landscaping project. Some of Kamloops’ more prolific trees are Ponderosa pine, Montane spruce, and Douglas fir. Not only do they provide much needed shade, but they also purify the air, removing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Shrubs, such as elderberry, juniper, and magnolia all thrive in Kamloops’ climate, as do perennials such as asters, irises, delphiniums and hundreds more.
Annuals and Edible Landscaping
Including annual plants is a fantastic way to incorporate seasonal colour while infusing your own style year after year. Annuals such as dahlia, gladiolus, geraniums, dichondra, and calendula all love Kamloops’ arid climate. For those who love to cook and bake, incorporating edible landscaping is a must. For example, cherries, apples, lavender, or wild bergamot can all be grown in the comfort of your own garden.
