Outdoor Entertaining Spaces Designed Around How You Actually Live
The Okanagan is one of the best places in Canada to spend time outside — wine country, long warm summers, and evenings that seem to stretch forever. But if your backyard isn’t set up for it, you’re leaving the best part of living here on the table. Wildscape specializes in designing outdoor patios as true living spaces, not just a slab of concrete pushed against the back door. We think in terms of defined dining areas and conversation zones, outdoor kitchen prep spaces, integrated lighting that carries gatherings into the evening, and hardscape materials that look cohesive and age beautifully in our climate. Every project starts with a real conversation about how you actually want to use the space — how many people you host, whether you cook outside, whether you want a fire feature — and then works backward to the right layout and materials for your property.
01
Outdoor Living Consultation
We start by understanding how you entertain — dinner parties for 10, wine evenings for 4, or large family gatherings. We look at traffic flow, sun exposure, privacy, and the relationship between your indoor and outdoor spaces to find the design that fits your lifestyle.
02
Design & Material Selection
We develop a layout with defined functional zones and walk you through material options — natural stone, porcelain pavers, concrete, and more — choosing a combination that creates a cohesive look while standing up to Okanagan summers and cold winters alike.
03
Professional Build — Ready to Host
Our team handles everything from ground preparation and base compaction through to the final paver set, lighting installation, and cleanup. We hand over a space that’s truly ready for your first gathering — no punch list, no loose ends.
More Than a Patio — a Place to Gather
Perfect for Okanagan Entertaining
The South Okanagan’s wine country culture deserves a backyard to match. We design spaces built for long evenings with friends — proper dining zones, comfortable conversation areas, and the kind of ambiance that makes guests want to linger.
Integrated Lighting & Features
The best outdoor gatherings don’t end at sunset. We integrate low-voltage landscape lighting, string light mounting points, and feature lighting into the hardscape itself so your patio is as beautiful and functional after dark as it is during the day.
Extends Your Home’s Living Space
A well-designed outdoor patio doesn’t feel like the backyard — it feels like another room. We pay close attention to sightlines from inside the home, transitions between indoor and outdoor flooring levels, and the overall flow that makes the space feel connected and intentional.

⭐ What Our Clients Are Saying
★★★★★
“We entertain a lot — wine with friends on weeknights, bigger dinner parties on weekends — and our old back patio just wasn’t cutting it. Wildscape redesigned the whole space with a proper dining zone, a lounge area, and lighting that makes the whole thing feel magical in the evenings. It’s genuinely our favourite room in the house now, and it’s outside.”
★★★★★
“We’re surrounded by vineyards here in Naramata and I always wanted an outdoor space that felt worthy of the setting. Wildscape absolutely delivered — natural stone, a built-in prep counter, integrated string lights, and enough room for a proper table. Every weekend out here feels like a winery visit. I can’t recommend them enough.”
★★★★★
“We had a side yard that we basically ignored for years — too narrow for lawn equipment, too awkward to use. Wildscape converted it into a fully paved outdoor dining room with pergola footings and ambient lighting. It seats eight comfortably and has become the spot for every summer dinner. Transformative doesn’t even cover it.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How is an outdoor living patio different from a regular patio build? ▼
A standard patio is typically a single surface — a flat area adjacent to the house. An outdoor living design goes further: we plan defined zones for different activities (dining, lounging, cooking, conversing), consider traffic flow between them, integrate features like lighting and prep areas, and choose materials that work together as a cohesive design system. The result is a space that functions the way a well-designed interior room does, just outside.
What outdoor kitchen options do you offer? ▼
We build outdoor kitchen prep areas ranging from simple built-in countertop surfaces (perfect for a BBQ station) to more comprehensive setups with stone or concrete countertops, integrated storage, and utility rough-ins. We work with your existing BBQ or grill equipment and design around it. For full outdoor kitchen builds with appliances and plumbing, we collaborate with trusted trades partners to coordinate the whole project.
Can you integrate lighting into the patio itself? ▼
Yes — and we strongly recommend it. In-hardscape lighting (recessed step lights, border lighting, uplighting for planters or trees) is installed during construction, which means no visible conduit and a clean, professional finish. We also plan for string light posts and pergola mounting points if you want overhead ambient lighting. Lighting transforms how much you use an outdoor space — most clients say it’s one of the best decisions they made.
What paving materials work best for outdoor dining areas in the Okanagan? ▼
For outdoor dining areas, we typically recommend porcelain pavers or natural stone (such as travertine or basalt). Both handle the Okanagan’s freeze-thaw cycles well, resist staining from wine and food, and stay cooler underfoot in summer heat compared to concrete. Porcelain is lower maintenance and extremely durable; natural stone gives a warmer, more organic look. We’ll walk you through samples and help you choose based on your aesthetic and how you want to care for the space long-term.
What does the design process look like, and how long does a project take? ▼
We start with a free on-site consultation where we walk the space, discuss how you want to use it, and take measurements. From there we develop a design and provide a detailed quote. Once approved, most outdoor patio projects are built within two to four weeks of the build start date, depending on size and complexity. We schedule builds from early spring through fall and recommend booking early in the season to secure your preferred timing — summer spots fill up fast.
