Our Team

Nick Dantuma

OWNER | OPERATOR

Nick lives with his partner and their three children in Millgrove, Ontario.

Nick spent 5+ years working as a nurse for Hamilton Health Sciences where he developed a passion for connecting with others. Nick brings this enthusiasm to Outerspaces in a very special way by finding creative ways to make his customers’ landscape dreams come true!

During the off-season you can find Nick pursuing his love of woodworking, playing sports, and spending time with his family. Nick has been a key member of the OSL team for 15+ years.

Keegan Lodder

OWNER | OPERATOR

Keegan’s professional career has been entirely focused on hands-on trade work. During his first summer job working for Thor-Stone Construction he familiarized himself with the processes of the job site, the critical value of teamwork, and the importance of attention to detail.

Keegan obsesses over design and has honed an acute sense of craftsmanship––in the winter months he works on his hobby business, Gusset Leather, where he designs and handcrafts custom leather goods in all different shapes and forms out of his home studio in Dundas.

Ed Dantuma

CONSULTANT | OPERATOR

Ed founded Outerspaces Landscapes together with Andy Muis in 1988. Having already spent 10+ years in the industry prior to OSL, Ed has clocked nearly 50 years of working experience in the landscape world.

It’s no secret that Ed is one of the best equipment operators in the trade and he is also the driving force behind production on Outerspaces job sites.

Ed’s experience and expertise in operations and his eagerness in customer relations have been foundational in shaping Outerspaces into the company it is today.
