Behind the scenes of Island Edge Contracting Ltd.

You may have seen us around town, but I just wanted to come on here and introduce myself and let you all get to know me a little better!

I was born and raised here, driven by creativity, hard work, and a serious work ethic; I’ve always loved entrepreneurship.

Since I was about 13, I grew up mowing the neighbours lawns and installing light landscaping with the tools I had access to. (Picture this: driving my dad’s ride-on mower around the neighbourhood with a wagon attached, to carry shovels, rakes, grass clippings, etc!)

At 17, I took it a bit further since I could then drive! After college and on weekends I continued working on landscaping projects around town. I then put that on hold and laboured for a local civil construction company, and then a pipeline maintenance/brushcutting outfit. Through those jobs I gained a lot of hands on experience and knowledge in the excavation industry, which has shaped Island Edge Contracting Ltd to where we are today.

At 19, I left my out of town job, decided it was time to start a real business and build something for myself! Now 21, I’ve been slowly building my ultimate dream; a well founded local business and brand. I’ve been blessed to work with some great customers, taken on very cool projects, and developed strong relationships in the industry.

Today, Island Edge Contracting Ltd. is a skilled and trustworthy local business taking on tough jobs with creativity, integrity, and hometown pride. Here are some of the services we offer in the Comox Valley and surrounding areas:
