PRECISION GROUNDS

With a passion for being outdoors, having a blank canvas of landscape to create something spectacular is what makes waking up and going to work every day so enjoyable for Matt. He has been in the landscape construction industry for over ten years, designing, planning and constructing various projects for many clients. Matt learned his skills and trade secrets from experienced landscape contractors that he has had the opportunity to  work with in the past. Growing up in his grandfather’s workshop and surrounded by a family of carpenters, it was only natural for Matt to develop his education in the building industry. Combining his two loves for building and the outdoors, he discovered his passion for landscape construction. 

Matt is very passionate about the industry, striving to educate clients on best installation practices, staying innovative with new products and creating close relationships with other leaders in our industry so we can all continue to grow our education and better our trade. Matt takes care of the business operations, day to day site supervision/organization, and most importantly taking every opportunity possible to work on site daily.

FUN FACTS: Matt's a big mountain-biker and he LOVES campfires.

FAVOURITE LOCAL SPOT(S): Mountain-bike trails around Collingwood!
