We are Triton Landscaping serving the Greater Victoria BC area.
Quality, Honesty, Integrity Aren't Just Words
As the owner, I don’t believe in extracting every dollar possible from a job. To me, what is most ideal is a fair exchange. The homeowner gets a solid quality job and in return pay a reasonable price. Because of this, our prices are always middle of the pack. Because of this, I’ve been told that I could raise my prices a lot more by multiple clients. A fair price for a fair exchange. Money isn’t everything.
What does integrity, honesty, and quality mean to me? Sometimes I make mistakes on a job. I always own up to it and make amends. If something is amiss that is discovered during or after job completion, I will make sure it is corrected. People deserve to get what they paid for and it is what any of us would want. After all, especially in this economy, people work hard for their money and don’t need the stress of dishonest contractors who play games. Quality means that the work is up to spec, that it lasts a long long time, that no shortcuts were taken to save time or money. Integrity and honesty means owning up to my mistakes that I make from time to time and always making it right.
We believe in Trust, Communication, and Professionalism.
Professionalism means to us showing up to appointments, answering emails, texts, and phone calls, showing up on time, and finishing as close to the estimated completion date as possible. We do not sub-contract to potentially unreliable contractors who may or may not carry any insurance. We want things to be predictable and the entire experience to be pleasant for all.
This means we aim to build and maintain a good relationship with all homeowners not just during our work but after it. We will be happy to answer any questions you have during the entire process from start to finish and afterwards as well to ensure you are well informed and a part of the decisions being made. Our work will be completed to a certain level of professionalism reflective of our company beliefs.

Supporting Local Businesses
As a member of the local community, we believe in supporting local businesses large and small. All of our products are thus sourced from local businesses in Victoria or in British Columbia. Building materials such as gravel or sand are produced from local landscaping yards including MacNutt, Victoria Landscape and Gravel Mart, and PND. Our construction supplies such as interlocking pavers are produced in Mainland BC from Abbotsford Concrete Products. Both regular sod and artificial sod are sourced from local sod farms in Victoria or from Mainland BC.
We prefer to support smaller local businesses over big box stores. Almost all of our landscaping supplies are sourced from Slegg’s, Wes-Tech, Castle Building Centre, and the aforementioned MacNutt and Victoria Gravel Mart.
Environmentally Conscious
We avoid the use of gas and diesel powered tools as much as possible. All of our hand tools are electric, taking advantage of BC’s hydroelectric power generation. We also understand there is such a thing as noise pollution and aim to have tools that minimize noise pollution as well. Using electric tools helps a great deal in that regard.
We are knowledgeable in regards to several invasive species and help in spreading this knowledge. We encourage and promote the removal of these plants from Victoria BC as well as discourage their planting.
When it comes to landscapes, we always plan for features that are most sustainable and least environmentally costly. This means recommending landscaping features that use less water, minimize the spread of invasive species, and most friendly to the native biome. We avoid using plastics such as landscape fabric as much as possible. We are also very strict about not littering on any of our worksites.
Giving Back to the Community
We at Triton Landscaping encourage its members to give back to the community. And while like most people, the owner has both donated time and money to various causes, he feels it is not appropriate to list them here or anywhere as to engage in such promotion takes away from the purpose of doing these things. Is it true charity if it’s given for self glorification and promotion of one’s business?
