From concept to completion, we craft landscapes that are functional, resilient, and sustainably refined. With thoughtful design, clear project management, and attention to detail, we bring outdoor spaces to life in ways that reflect your vision and the land’s potential.

Our Project Services

  • We transform high-maintenance lawns into resilient, low-water landscapes that reflect local ecology and site conditions. Our designs prioritize native and climate-appropriate plantings, eco-friendly materials, and efficient layouts that reduce water use while supporting biodiversity.

    By integrating natural stone, river rock, and thoughtfully selected vegetation, we create balanced outdoor spaces that are durable, visually refined, and easier to maintain—providing long-term performance and year-round enjoyment.

  • We restore overgrown or degraded landscapes by carefully re-establishing structure, plant health, and ecological balance. Our approach focuses on selective clearing, soil improvement, and the reintroduction of appropriate plant communities to support long-term recovery and visual coherence.

    Working closely with clients, we guide the restoration process using locally adapted vegetation and sustainable practices, creating outdoor spaces that feel renewed, functional, and connected to the surrounding landscape throughout the seasons.

  • We provide thoughtful landscape design services that balance function, aesthetics, and long-term performance. Our designs are grounded in site conditions, client needs, and practical considerations such as drainage, access, maintenance, and environmental impact.

    Whether designing a complete outdoor space or refining a specific area, we work collaboratively to develop clear, buildable plans that guide the project from concept through construction. The result is a cohesive design that supports everyday use, integrates naturally with its surroundings, and can be implemented efficiently and responsibly.

  • We design and build durable hardscape elements that define outdoor spaces and support everyday use. From walkways and patios to seating areas and feature elements, our work emphasizes quality materials, thoughtful detailing, and seamless integration with the surrounding landscape.

    Using natural stone, pavers, and other long-lasting materials, we create hardscapes that are functional, visually refined, and built to age well over time—enhancing both the usability and character of the property.

  • We construct functional outdoor structures such as sheds, pergolas, and small exterior buildings that support everyday use while enhancing the overall landscape. Each structure is planned with attention to placement, access, foundation requirements, and integration with existing outdoor spaces.

    From coordination of materials to construction and site logistics, we manage the process carefully to ensure structures are built safely, efficiently, and in alignment with the surrounding environment. When required, we also support coordination with local regulations or permitting considerations.

  • We design and install fences that provide structure, privacy, and safety while integrating seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Our approach considers site conditions, access, drainage, and long-term durability to ensure each fence performs well over time.

    Whether the goal is boundary definition, screening, or protection, we work with quality materials and careful installation practices. Projects are planned and executed with attention to detail, site impact, and coordination with adjacent features or regulations where required.

  • We design and build retaining walls that provide structural support while integrating seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. Our approach prioritizes stability, drainage, and long-term performance, ensuring walls function effectively while contributing to the overall design of the site.

    Each project is planned based on site conditions, soil characteristics, and grade changes, using durable materials and proven construction methods. The result is a retaining solution that is resilient, well-integrated, and built to perform over time.

  • We design and install effective drainage solutions that manage surface and subsurface water and protect landscapes from erosion, pooling, and water damage. Our approach focuses on understanding site conditions, water flow patterns, and soil characteristics before selecting the appropriate system.

    From French drains to integrated surface drainage, we use proven materials and methods to improve water movement and support the long-term stability and health of the landscape.

  • We design water-efficient landscapes that reflect West Coast ecology and perform well in dry conditions. Our xeriscape designs prioritize drought-tolerant and native plantings, thoughtful soil preparation, and materials that reduce irrigation needs while supporting long-term plant health.

    By incorporating elements such as river rock, driftwood, and natural textures, we create low-maintenance landscapes that are visually distinctive, resilient, and well-suited to changing climate conditions.

  • We install hedges that provide structure, privacy, and definition while supporting long-term plant health. Each installation is planned around site conditions, intended function, and appropriate species selection to ensure durable, well-established results.

    We work with trusted local nurseries and prepare soils carefully based on light, drainage, wind, and other environmental factors. Where needed, we integrate efficient irrigation to support healthy establishment and reduce ongoing maintenance over time.

  • We carry out earthworks and site preparation to support new construction, landscape improvements, and restoration projects. Our services include moving and grading soil, placing gravel, removing stumps, and breaking out existing concrete where required.

    Each task is approached with care for site conditions, access, and surrounding features, ensuring work is completed efficiently while preparing a stable, well-organized foundation for the next phase of the project.

  • We provide clear, hands-on project management to guide landscape projects from planning through completion. This includes coordinating schedules, materials, and workflows to ensure projects progress smoothly and efficiently.

    Where required, we manage vendors, subcontractors, and site logistics, and coordinate with local authorities or regulatory bodies to support compliance and approvals. Our role is to reduce complexity, maintain accountability, and ensure each project is delivered with clarity, care, and attention to detail.

How We Work

Our project work is guided by clear project management practices designed to bring structure, accountability, and flexibility to complex landscape projects.

We plan carefully, coordinate actively, and adapt as conditions evolve. This includes managing schedules, materials, and site logistics, as well as coordinating with local governments, regulators, third-party suppliers, and subcontractors when required. Our role is to reduce complexity for clients while ensuring projects move forward efficiently and responsibly.

Change is a natural part of most projects. We approach it deliberately—communicating clearly, assessing impacts, and adjusting plans as needed to maintain progress, quality, and alignment with the original intent. This change-management mindset helps projects stay resilient, even when conditions shift.

For sensitive sites, slopes, and environmentally complex work, our approach is informed by our Ecological Restoration practice.

Our Team & Experience

Habanero Projects is led by an experienced team with strong, hands-on expertise across landscape construction, restoration, and site coordination. Our work is supported by in-house compact equipment, including skid steers, excavators, and specialized attachments, selected specifically to access tight or constrained sites while minimizing disturbance to surrounding landscapes.

This low-impact approach is closely aligned with our ecological restoration practice. By using appropriately sized equipment and skilled operators, we reduce unnecessary soil disruption, protect existing vegetation, and work more precisely in sensitive environments. This is especially important on slopes, established properties, and sites where environmental protection and recovery are priorities.

All equipment is operated by trained team members who understand safe operation, site awareness, and ecological considerations. Combined with established safety practices and appropriate insurance coverage, this allows us to manage complex projects responsibly—balancing construction needs with long-term environmental health.
