Welcome to Environmental Matters, developing ecologically sound landscapes through vegetation management consultation, designing bio-diverse landscapes and striving to maintain a healthy environmental system by educating and training clients.

Join the Sustainability Revolution

The time is now to help preserve the Earth and work to restore Bio-diversity..  By learning Why, How and What to plant, you can reduce the invasive plant varieties that threaten biodiversity.  The loss of native plant life due to suburbanization and lack of vegetation management has created a huge loss.  Thus, if we loose our native plants, we lose the insects, we lose birds, ...  It is our goal at Environmental Matters to offer professional services in vegetation management consultation, ecologically sound design services and training programs that enlighten our clients in the restorative benefits of ecologically functioning landscapes.  "How green is your Green?"  Traditional scapes including barren truf take more from the environment and cost more to maintain than their naturally beautiful Native alternatives.
