About Ian Professional landscaper Ian West was born in Truro NS in 1978. At the age of 14 he began spending the summer months on PEI working for a family owned landscape business Atlantic Horticultural Services. After graduating from Cobequid Educational Center in 1996, Ian spent a few years in Fredericton NB before moving to Toronto ON in 1999. It was here that Ian realized there was much more to landscaping compared to what was being done in the Maritimes. In his seven years in Toronto, Ian worked in many prestigious neighborhoods such as Forrest Hills, Rosedale, Danforth, and Hog's Hollow. Appreciated homeowners included NHL hockey players, actors and elite business owners throughout the GTA. Ian has moved back to Halifax to form Lost Art Stonework offering the highest quality landscape work in Nova Scotia.
