What We Build

From the Dirt Up.
One Contractor.

We take a property from raw ground to finished surface: the excavation, the structure that holds it, the water that moves through it, and the light that shows it off at night.

What We Are Known For
01

Landscape Construction

The whole property, built as one job. Raw ground through excavation, structure, surface and finish, with one contractor carrying the grade, the walls, the water and the planting instead of four crews pointing at each other.

  • Engineered Retaining Walls

    Gravity stacked through fully engineered block and natural stone, built to hold a hillside for decades.

  • Drainage & Ditching

    Water moved off the foundation, the driveway and the yard, with custom sloping designed for the site.

  • Pools & Water Features

    Pool excavation, surrounds and built-in water features, sequenced with the rest of the build.

  • Rock, Sod & Planting

    The finish layer. Low maintenance rock work, or turf where the property calls for it.

02

Excavation & Site Preparation

The dig, the cut, the fill and the grade. Foundation excavation, pool excavation and full site prep on the tight, steep, awkward lots the Okanagan is full of.

  • Foundation & pool excavation
  • Bulk earthworks and grading
  • Rock removal
  • Road and access building

Custom Hardscapes

  • Pool surrounds and decks
  • Stairs, terraces and walkways
  • Fire and water features
  • Large format pavers and cut stone

  • Integrated stair and step lighting
  • RGB water feature lighting
  • Wall and feature washing
  • Wired during the build, not after

05

Glass Railing & Metal Fencing

Frameless glass that keeps the lake in the view, and powder coated metal fencing and gates that hold their line. Posts and footings go in with the hardscape, never drilled in after the fact.

  • Frameless and post glass railing
  • Powder coated metal fencing
  • Gates and privacy screening
  • Footings set during the build

06

Irrigation

In house, and staying there. Irrigation goes in as part of our own build so the schedule is ours to keep, with analogue or smart systems sized to the property.

  • Full system design and install
  • Smart and analogue controllers
  • Sleeved and set during hardscape
  • No third party scheduling

About JRO

We Don't Compete
On Price.

JRO Construction builds at the high end of the Okanagan market, and only at the high end. What we build is not the cheap version of anything, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

There is no cookie cutter package here. Every property gets scoped on its own terms, and the scope we quote is the scope we build.

"The right tool for the job" is not a saying here. It is roughly half a million dollars of it, parked in the yard.
All New
Equipment, owned outright
5 to 6
Attachments per machine
One Crew
Excavation through to the last light

Planning, safety discipline and schedule control are not extras here, they are how the job runs. It is why the work we take on starts well above where most local contractors finish.

How It Works

Plans In.
Scope Out.

01

Give Us a Call

Call or text and tell us what you are building. Send the drawings after if you have them. The more we have up front, the more the number we give you means something.

02

We Walk the Site

Slope, access, soil, drainage and services. We scope what the property actually needs, and tell you where a plan will fight the ground.

03

Scope and Schedule

A clear scope with the sequence and the timeline attached. What is in it, what it costs, and when each stage happens.

04

We Build It

Our own crew, our own machines, one contractor from the excavation to the last light. We do not leave until it is right.
