WHO WE ARE...
We're proud to be locally owned and operated:
Matt Tufts, owner of Rusty Shovel lives and enjoys the beauty of Vancouver Island daily. I have always had a passion for the entire design and build process. I feel strongly that for a project to end well, each step of the process must be thought out thoroughly, laid out well, and built using time-tested methods. This means that customer consultation and design input are crucial to achieving a goal all are excited about and proud of! The design process can often take months of back and forth communication to get a design that meets the mark. Budget and desire must be weighed out and balanced to achieve beautiful results.

Meet the Team...
The Rusty Shovel crew works hard to achieve great results on every project we work on!
Matt
I do our in-house landscape and hardscape design work and project installation management. I really enjoy the initial design process of the project and seeing installation through to hand-shake completion. In the past I've done home design, so the more creative design process of landscape/hardscape drawing is quite enjoyable. Definitely more alive you could say! I've also worked in varied construction and equipment operation businesses.
