History
Established in 2025.
West Coast Landscaping was founded in 2025. Matthew has been mowing Nanaimo lawns for 18 years.
Most kids grow out of pushing a lawnmower around the yard. Matthew Hutchison didn't. He was two the first time he pushed a gas mower across his family's Nanaimo lawn — supervised, but determined. By the time most teenagers got their first part-time jobs, he'd been running a small lawn-care operation for a decade.
West Coast Landscaping is the grown-up version of that. Licensed with the City of Nanaimo, properly insured, commercial-grade equipment, real crew when the job needs one. Matthew still shows up. Matthew still does the work.
In winter, he plays Junior A hockey as a goaltender for the Nanaimo Clippers. Hockey demands what property care does: show up on time, follow through, no shortcuts. On the ice, nothing gets past him. On your lawn, nothing gets overlooked.
Meet the Business Owner: Matthew H.
Hi — I'm Matthew, the guy who answers the phone and shows up at your door.
I started cutting grass when I was two. Eighteen years later I still get up early to do it, and I still care about getting it right. There's something about finishing a job — looking back at a lawn that was rough an hour ago and now looks great, hauling the last of the debris into the truck — that I haven't gotten tired of.
Most of my clients I've met face-to-face. I know which houses get the early mow because the kids nap at noon, which hedge the homeowner doesn't want me to touch, which dog comes out and which one stays in. That stuff matters.
What I promise: I'll show up when I say I will. I'll tell you the truth about what your property needs and what it doesn't. If we can't do a job properly, I'll tell you and point you to someone who can. If something isn't right, you call me and I fix it.
Looking forward to taking care of your place.
— Matthew
