Born and raised in the Whiterock/South Surrey Area, Nathan values the community he landscapes in and takes pride in seeing his work around town.

ZACH DUZAN
Project Coordinator
Zach’s strong communication and coordination skills and ability to see the bigger picture makes approachable and easy to work with. He values deadlines and works skillfully to make all the pieces fit to get your project done on time and in budget.
That being said, it comes as no surprise that after three years with Foris, his favourite part of the job is meeting new clients and seeing the final project after completion.
He grew up in a small town in Northern B.C., boasting only a singular traffic light. Outside of work he keeps busy playing different sports and discovering the newest, local brewery.
LOGAN MACDONALD

With a trained eye for detail and expert skill set in the field, Logan is an excellent teacher to new team members and executor of a clients vision. He finds inspiration in the incorporation of wood & stone in new spaces and is your go to man for specialized services.
He has been working with Foris for 8 years, as one of the original crew responsible for the business’ growth. Being a passion and hobby in his youth, it was a natural progression to pursue landscaping as a career later in life.
