Habanero
Rooted in care for people, land, and the living systems that sustain them.
Based on the Saanich Peninsula.
Our Purpose
To help people connect with the land, contribute to healthier ecosystems, and grow alongside the environments they care for.
This work is more than a service—it’s what drives us. At the heart of our purpose are people—our team and our clients—working together with care for the land and the communities it supports. Every decision we make is guided by the belief that landscapes should strengthen ecosystems, support well-being, and endure over time.
Our Vision
We envision communities rooted in ecological health, where soil, water, plants, and people exist in balance.
Healthy landscapes support healthy lives—today and for generations to come. Our vision is a future where people and nature flourish together, and where landscapes are designed, cared for, and restored in ways that strengthen ecosystems, support biodiversity, and enhance both physical and emotional well-being.
Our Mission
We care deeply about people, the land, and the life it supports.
Our mission is to design, build, and maintain landscapes that restore ecological health while supporting the well-being of our clients and communities. Through holistic, environmentally responsible practices, we help landscapes thrive now and into the future.
We believe healthy landscapes begin with healthy soil, biodiversity, and mindful practices. By working in harmony with natural systems, we create outdoor spaces that feel alive, balanced, and regenerative—spaces that respect natural cycles and provide beauty, function, and sanctuary for those who live with them.
Our Values
Stewardship & Care: We approach every landscape with respect for the land, the people who use it, and the ecosystems that sustain it. Our work is guided by long-term environmental health, not short-term results.
People First: Our clients and our team come first. We believe strong relationships, trust, and collaboration lead to better outcomes—for people, communities, and the planet.
Accountability & Integrity: We value clear communication, thoughtful planning, and responsible execution. We stand behind our work and take ownership of both decisions and outcomes.
Quality Over Speed: We are a local, quality-first company. We prioritize doing the work properly, using simple, effective solutions rather than shortcuts or quick fixes.
Resilience & Long-Term Thinking: We design, build, and care for landscapes that can adapt, recover, and thrive over time—supporting ecological balance and lasting value.
Our Team & Experience
An experienced, hands-on team leads Habanero with deep expertise across landscape care, construction, ecological restoration, and project coordination. Our work is grounded in practical field experience, thoughtful planning, and a shared commitment to caring for people, land, and the life it supports.
On the care side, our team includes trained gardeners and fine pruners who follow organic gardening principles. We prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and proper plant care, avoid synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and use OMRI-listed products only when inputs are necessary.
On the project side, our team is supported by in-house compact equipment, including skid steers, excavators, and specialized attachments, explicitly selected to access tight or constrained sites while minimizing environmental disturbance. All equipment is operated by trained team members who prioritize safety, precision, and site awareness.
Our ecological restoration practice is where these two strengths come together. By uniting organic landscape care with low-impact construction and project coordination, we restore degraded sites, stabilize sensitive areas, and support long-term ecosystem recovery thoughtfully and responsibly.
How We Work
Our work spans Habanero Care, Habanero Projects, and Ecological Restoration, allowing us to support landscapes through every phase of their life cycle.
Our work is built on trust, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to quality.
In our care services, we focus on understanding each client’s needs, preferences, and priorities. We show up consistently, communicate openly, and take the time to do the work properly. By paying close attention to detail and following through on our commitments, we build long-term relationships rooted in reliability and respect.
Across projects and restoration work, we apply the same principles—planning carefully, coordinating responsibly, and adapting as conditions evolve. When work involves vendors, regulators, or other partners, we manage complexity with transparency and care so clients can feel confident throughout the process.
In all areas of our work, we do everything within our control to deliver outcomes our clients are proud of. Customer satisfaction is not a checkbox—it is the result of listening, communicating clearly, and standing behind the quality of our work.
Our Commitment to Ecological Care
We are committed to caring for landscapes in ways that protect soil health, biodiversity, and the living systems that support them.
We avoid synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and practices that may harm the environment, pollinators, or water systems. When inputs are required, we rely on responsible methods and OMRI-listed products, applying them thoughtfully and only when necessary.
Our work is guided by the belief that landscapes should be supported—not forced. By working with natural processes, using appropriate tools, and making careful decisions on site, we aim to leave every landscape healthier, more resilient, and better able to thrive over time.
This commitment is shared across our care, project, and ecological restoration work, and reflects our responsibility to clients, communities, and the land itself.
