Lantzville is a small, tight-knit community just north of Nanaimo with a distinctly rural character. If you live here, you chose it for the space, the quiet, and the larger lots. But those bigger properties come with bigger maintenance demands — and that's exactly where West Coast Landscaping comes in.

We're based right next door, so Lantzville is one of our closest service areas. Many of our regular clients are right here, and we understand the specific property challenges that come with living in this community.

We're 9 Irons Away

Most "Nanaimo" landscapers come from the city centre or south end — a real drive to get up to Lantzville. Matthew lives down Groveland Road, near Dickinson, in the north end of Nanaimo. From his place to most Lantzville properties is, in his preferred unit of measurement, about a 9-iron away. (Hockey is one passion. Golf is the other. The 9-iron is the one he hits straightest.)

The practical version: Lantzville isn't a special trip. We're around regularly, weekly mowing is genuinely weekly, and the response time when something needs attention is the same as it is for our north Nanaimo clients. Adding a Lantzville property to a route doesn't change the route — it's already on it.

Larger Properties, Serious Equipment

Lantzville lots tend to be significantly larger than typical Nanaimo properties. Half-acre, full-acre, and multi-acre properties are common. That kind of square footage needs commercial-grade walk-behind mowers that can handle the volume efficiently while still delivering a clean, consistent cut. Consumer-grade mowers aren't built for these lawns — they overheat, leave uneven cuts, and turn a two-hour job into an all-day project.

Our equipment is built for this work. Powerful walk-behind mowers designed for large areas, commercial string trimmers for long fence lines and property edges, and blowers that clear every last clipping from driveways and pathways. We don't cut corners because the property is big — we bring the right tools to do the job properly.

Tall Hedges and Mature Landscaping

Lantzville properties are known for their mature landscaping. Tall cedar hedges that provide privacy from neighbours. Established shrub borders that frame driveways. Overgrown laurel hedges that haven't been touched in years. Many of these hedges are well beyond what you can safely reach with a household trimmer and a step ladder.

We carry specialized extended-reach trimming equipment that lets us shape and maintain tall hedges from the ground. No risky ladder work, no awkward reaching — just clean, precise cuts from top to bottom. A single large hedge trim in Lantzville can produce 250 kilograms of trimmings, and we haul every last branch to the composting facility. Your property looks brand new when we leave.

Rural Challenges, Professional Solutions

Lantzville's rural character brings specific lawn and property challenges that you don't see as often in urban Nanaimo. Larger areas of native grass and wild growth along property edges. Rocky terrain mixed with pockets of deep, rich soil. Drainage issues on sloped lots. And the ever-present moss that thrives in the shaded, moist conditions under mature tree canopies.

We deal with all of these regularly. Proper aeration to address compaction on heavy-traffic areas. Dethatching to clear the matted layer that prevents water and nutrients from reaching roots. Targeted fertilization that accounts for different soil conditions across a single property. These aren't one-size-fits-all treatments — they're tailored to what your specific property needs.

The Full Crew When You Need It

Larger Lantzville properties often need more than one person to maintain efficiently. When a job calls for it, Matthew brings teammates from the Nanaimo Clippers — the same crew that handles our bigger jobs across the region. They show up in matching West Coast Landscaping uniforms, organized and ready to work. A full crew can tackle a large property in hours rather than days, minimizing disruption and getting the job done right the first time.

Lower and Upper Lantzville

Lantzville splits cleanly into two halves at the highway, and we work both. The property care each side needs is genuinely different:

Whichever side of the highway you're on, we'll bring the right equipment for the job.
