About us

A supply yard built by people who used to haul the supplies.

Owner-run in Vernon since 2005 — and still the kind of place where the owner loads your truck.

The short version

From contracting to the counter.

Vernon Landscape Centre opened in May 2005, founded by Kevin and Lori Wournell — who took years of hands-on landscape contracting and turned it into the thing they'd always wanted as contractors: a one-stop landscape yard in a central Vernon location, run by people who actually know the materials.

Twenty-one seasons later, that's still the whole idea. One of the largest selections of landscape materials in the beautiful Okanagan Valley — from topsoil to lava rock and flagstone — with honest advice on which one your project really needs, referrals to quality contractors when you'd rather not DIY, and help for the do-it-yourselfers taking on projects big or small.

Homeowners and contractors both keep coming back for the same reasons: the selection is deep, the prices are fair, and nobody leaves with the wrong material for the job.

How we work

Three things we refuse to outgrow.

01

Knowledge you can borrow

Reviewers put it best: informative, patient, knowledgeable. Whether you're a contractor spec'ing a wall or a homeowner staring at a bare bed, you leave knowing what to do with what you bought.

02

Displays, not guesswork

Our displays help you visualize the finished project — walk the yard, see the flagstone laid, the wall stacked, the pond running. Then pick.

03

Service that loads your truck

Free on-site loading, delivery placed exactly where you need it, and a dump-site for the material your project displaces. The details that make a Saturday project actually finish.

I made a mulch mistake and the owner had a chuckle with me, let me unload it, and refunded me so I could come back and get the right stuff… Can't speak highly enough of this place.

Mark is knowledgeable and quick on the loader. All my mulch, soil etc comes from VLC.
