Landscapes Built for How You Want to Live

Veenstra Consulting manages a wide range of landscape construction projects, including institutional, strata, commercial, and select residential work. Our scope includes hardscape construction, drainage and stormwater systems, site works, irrigation infrastructure, and integrated outdoor environments designed for long-term performance.

Veenstra Consulting operates throughout Greater Victoria and across Vancouver Island. Project locations include urban, coastal, and rural sites, each with unique soil, drainage, and access considerations.

Veenstra Consulting is well suited to institutional and strata projects due to our experience with complex sites, phased construction, safety planning, and coordination with consultants and property managers. We focus on constructibility, durability, and minimizing disruption to ongoing site use.

Projects typically begin with an initial review of site conditions and project objectives, followed by coordination with consultants as needed. Construction planning emphasizes sequencing, safety, drainage performance, and long-term durability. Clear communication continues throughout construction to manage scope, changes, and timelines.

Veenstra Consulting primarily focuses on landscape construction. We frequently collaborate with landscape architects, engineers, and designers, and we can also support early feasibility input to help ensure designs are practical and buildable.

Yes. Veenstra Consulting regularly coordinates with architects, civil engineers, landscape architects, and municipal stakeholders to ensure alignment between design intent, site constraints, and construction execution.

Changes are addressed through clear communication and documentation. We review impacts to scope, schedule, and cost before proceeding so all parties understand the implications and can make informed decisions.

Soil conditions on Vancouver Island vary widely and can include clay, fill, rock, and high groundwater. Veenstra Consulting evaluates these conditions early to inform excavation methods, drainage design, and material selection to support long-term site stability.

Veenstra Consulting designs drainage solutions that account for slope, runoff patterns, soil conditions, and existing infrastructure. Our approach prioritizes controlled water movement, erosion prevention, and protection of adjacent structures and landscapes.

Yes. We regularly work on constrained sites with limited access, active facilities, or existing utilities. Construction planning focuses on access sequencing, safety controls, and minimizing disruption to surrounding operations.

Veenstra Consulting follows structured safety planning, including site-specific hazard assessments, safe work procedures, and coordination with other trades. Safety is integrated into daily operations to protect workers, site users, and the public.

Our work is guided by industry best practices, WorkSafeBC requirements, municipal standards, and project-specific specifications. We emphasize quality control and compliance throughout construction.

The best time to contact Veenstra Consulting is as early as possible, especially for institutional or multi-phase projects. Early engagement allows for better planning around site conditions, approvals, and seasonal scheduling.

Project duration varies depending on scope, site complexity, and weather conditions. Smaller projects may take weeks, while larger or phased projects may extend over several months. Timelines are clarified during planning.

Seasonality can impact excavation, drainage work, and material availability. Veenstra Consulting accounts for weather patterns and site conditions when sequencing work to maintain performance and safety.
