Founded in 2006, Huatan was born from Daniel Gómez-Bilbao’s creative vision and passion for nature. An innovative entrepreneur recognised as one of the industry’s leading landscapers, Daniel has successfully established Huatan as a key player in the market that has broken many traditional paradigms in the landscaping world. We take a closer look at Huatan below, joined by CEO Daniel Gómez-Bilbao, as the company receives its title in the 2024 Global Excellence Awards.
With locations in Mexico and the USA, Huatan is an international firm that utilises cutting-edge technology in the fields of design, architecture, and landscaping to care for and conserve sustainable green spaces. Since its inception, the company has worked tirelessly to generate wellbeing through creating, rehabilitating, and maintaining unique spaces that foster a deep connection with nature.
Driven by Daniel Gómez-Bilbao’s unwavering dedication to the environment, Huatan strives to transform the mundane into the magnificent. Whether it is your home or your business, Huatan will enhance your environment by installing a piece of natural paradise into your space and taking you on a multisensory journey that expands your senses.
“Everything we do is out of love for nature and to contribute to a greener life – not just any green, but a different green, a Huatan green,” Daniel tells us. “We are one of the most important companies in environmentalism, design, care, and conservation of green spaces, giving us the potential to impact thousands, or even millions, of people in Mexico and around the world. Therefore, our passion is to surprise, captivate, and inspire with every technologically designed space, with every metre planted, and with every creative, sustainable, and perfectly preserved project. Huatan is a different kind of green.”
In a competitive industry, Huatan stands out for its vast experience and deep reverence for nature and sustainability. Employing more than 700 professionals, including architects, landscapers, designers, agronomists, and biologists, Huatan boasts a robust team of green experts with more than three decades of industry experience in Mexico. Each member of the team shares Huatan’s dedication to the environment and strive to deliver nothing less than excellence for the company.
Huatan’s commitment to its environmental responsibility is not merely limited to its services; sustainability permeates every aspect of the company’s operations. Possessing a fleet of vehicles used for transporting and collecting debris and organic waste, Huatan returns more than 80% of its waste to the earth through composting and actively uses treated water from industries to conserve water wastage.
What’s more, Huatan produces more than one million plants of various species each year, growing them in its own nursery that spans over eight hectares. With 25% of these plans meeting the necessary characteristics for export, Huatan is the first company to have successfully exported live Mexican plants into the United States. “At Huatan, we believe in nature as a life transformer,” says Daniel. “That is the root of our own nature. It inspires us to know that what we do every day is give life to life, which is why we have a very green conscience.”
Huatan is more than just a traditional landscape architecture firm; Huatan goes above and beyond in each project it undertakes, combining an interdisciplinary team to design each garden and green space with both an aesthetic and functional technological perspective. Every design completed by Huatan has been born from a combination of the best minds in the field, including architects, industrial designers, agronomists, biologists, and gardeners with generations of knowledge for the land.
To Huatan, landscape architecture is much more than the design and creation of a space, but also its ongoing maintenance, as it is a living space. In alignment with this belief, the company offers an exclusive conservation and maintenance programme geared towards green spaces. Huatan maintains the harmony of every garden, restaurant, and shopping plaza it transforms, deploying specialised gardeners and cutting-edge technology to ensure that every garden, space, and commercial green area it has developed remains vibrant and thriving.
“This is how, at Huatan, we take great pride in contributing to landscaping in Mexico,” Daniel says. “Our passion is to surprise, captivate, and inspire with each technologically crafted garden and green area, igniting emotions and awakening the senses by creating captivating environments.”
One of Huatan’s largest contributions to landscaping in Mexico is certainly its flagship store, Casa Huatan. The store offers a wide variety of plans and related products, including pots, toys, books, urban gardens, decorative accessories, and tools. Not only that, but Casa Huatan also features a cosy café serving the brand’s own coffee, providing visitors with a relaxing atmosphere to unwind after a day of garden shopping. This space enables Huatan to directly connect with its community and promote environmental sustainability, whilst representing the very essence of all that Huatan stands for.
Moving forward, Daniel tells us that Huatan is poised to grow and expand its operations across the United States. “Huatan has firmly established its operations in Texas, with a strong presence in Houston and Central Texas,” she says. “We specialise in large-scale projects for production homes, community development, and multi-family properties, partnering with leading companies in the U.S., whilst also offering comprehensive maintenance services for commercial and residential properties. As we continue to grow, we are planning future expansions, bringing our expertise and integrated services to new markets across the country.”
With ambitious plans for future growth, it is certain that Huatan will continue to achieve excellence through its operations. The company’s recent acquisition of Huatan Gardens, its in-house nursery in USA, allows Huatan to streamline its operations and provide quality plants, which in turn ensures cost efficiency and flexibility for all clients. This has been duly noted by clients of Huatan, who have left numerous five-star reviews for the company’s efficiency, professionalism, and care.
“Huatan’s commitment to excellence in creating and maintaining sustainable green spaces is truly commendable,” writes Sky. “The team’s expertise and passion shine through in every project, whether it’s residential, commercial, public, or industrial. The attention to detail and level of care Huatan brings to its work is remarkable.”
“From start to finish, the team was professional, attentive, and skilled,” reports Artin. “They took the time to understand my vision, offered valuable suggestions, and turned my outdoor space into a stunning masterpiece.”
From its outstanding landscaping services to its diverse and inviting store, Huatan has successfully established itself as a leading figure in the market. The company combines its vast industry expertise, cutting-edge technology, and passionate team to promote sustainability and make the world a greener, better place. It is for its dedication to preserving the planet, paired with its innovative approach to landscaping architecture, that Huatan has been rightfully recognised as the Garden and Green Space Design Company of the Year 2024 – USA and Mexico.
