Garrett Matthews
Hey guys! My name is Garret. I was born and raised in Shreveport and live here with my three children, Gunner, Gage, and Georgia Claire. I started my career working for the Shreveport Fire Department and took horticulture classes on the side. This is where Matthews Landscape started as a side business to support my family and fund a hunting habit! After 11 years on the fire department, I left to focus on the landscape business full-time. Customer service has always and will always be my main concern.
