At Blackcomb Landscaping LTD, we’re delighted to bring our landscaping expertise all the way to Victoria, BC. Whether you’re in the Inner Harbour, Oak Bay, Fairfield, Saanich, or any of the charming neighbourhoods in Greater Victoria, our goal is the same: to create beautiful, functional, and sustainable outdoor spaces that thrive in this unique coastal climate.

Understanding Victoria’s Climate & Landscape Needs

Victoria enjoys one of the mildest climates in Canada. Winters are relatively gentle, summers are dry, and rainfall is abundant in the fall, winter, and spring. This climate allows for year-round work on many landscaping tasks, but also brings special considerations:

• Soil moisture is high during rainy seasons, so drainage, site grading, and appropriate soil amendments are essential to prevent waterlogging and moss issues.

• In the dry summer months, water conservation becomes critical. Mulching, drought-tolerant plants, efficient irrigation systems, and native species help reduce watering needs.

• Frost is generally mild, but microclimates exist—properties near the shoreline, on slopes, or in sheltered valleys may behave differently. Plant selection and placement must take this into account.

We know these conditions well—and ensure our designs work with Victoria’s seasons, not against them.

What Sets Our Victoria Landscaping Apart

• Native and Drought-Adapted Planting
  We favour using plants that are naturally suited to southern Vancouver Island. Species like red-flowering currant, ocean spray (Holodiscus discolor), salal, sword fern, Garry Oak, and Pacific rhododendron are excellent for local gardens: they support wildlife, reduce water use once established, and are resilient to local pests and soil types. 

• Water-Smart Landscaping
  From rain gardens and bioswales to efficient drip irrigation and permeable paving, we design landscapes that manage water effectively—especially important in Victoria where winter rains and summer dryness must be balanced. 

• Low-Maintenance and Sustainable Design
  Using native species, grouping plants by water needs, applying mulch, and selecting durable materials helps our clients enjoy their outdoor areas with less upkeep. This means more time relaxing outdoors, less time worrying about constant maintenance.

Featured Local Project Types

When we work in Victoria, here are common projects we take on — many of which take advantage of Victoria’s favorable conditions:

• Rain gardens and water-wise yards: Capturing and managing rainwater using native plants to reduce runoff and keep landscapes healthy. 

• Native and wildlife-friendly gardens: Supporting local pollinators and ecosystems with plants like salal, sword fern, red-flowering currant, ocean spray. 

• Hardscape upgrades for usability: patios, seating areas, decks that can handle winter moisture, hot summers, and that blend well with vegetation and views.

• Slope stabilization & retaining walls: Many properties in Victoria have sloped or uneven terrain. Proper retaining walls, terraces, and drainage make usable, safe, and attractive outdoor spaces.
