Mustang Landscape & Design’s Story
Meet Natalie, owner of Mustang Landscape & Design here in beautiful Victoria BC and her company mascot Duke, a 4-month-old Swiss mountain dog.
Natalie started her Landscaping business in January of 2014. She was working in the Customer Service industry for a while and realized that every gardener that walked through the door, was happy and content. Knowing that she wanted to be just that, she decided to make a career out of it and went to school to learn as much as she could.
And man was she ever dedicated! She now has not only her Red Seal in Landscape Horticulture but also a Bachelor of Commerce in Entrepreneurial Management. Her company has grown from a one-woman show into a 5-member team thanks to you awesome folks supporting local businesses.
You may see her fleet of trucks drive around town making every home they visit not just more appealing but environmentally friendly too.
A green roof, for example, does not just look amazing, it also slows down rainwater (which we all know we get plenty off here on the island and it can become a genuine issue in some neighbourhoods) it also insulates your home and it prolongs the life of your roof.
You can also add plants, which will help create more oxygen and further reduce your carbon footprint. Or that sustainable irrigation systems collect rainwater and will water your plants for you. Just think about how many hours of time this could save you and don’t even get us started on how much you could save on your hydro bills!
Talk about changing the world and making it a better place!
And here was me thinking oh yes landscaping… that’s raking leaves and planting plants, right? And while that is partly true there is so much more to her business. She plans and develops, draws and creates, budgets and completes, maintains, installs and restores to create your dream oasis. And if you don’t believe me when I say dream oasis, feel free to go check out her page and see for yourself what kind of amazing work she is capable of.
