- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started working for grasshopper gardens a few years ago and fell in love with landscaping. I took the risk and wanted to start my own thing and I am so glad I did!

About
Hello! My name is Matthew! I founded this company back in 2023 after discovering my love for making homes look the way their owners want them to look, through working for a few landscaping companies over the past couple of years! I started off with mowing but became fascinated with doing Spring & Fall cleanups, Mulch, Gutter Cleaning, Hedge Trimming & Window Washing! I also love diving into any new projects that you might just not have the time to do anymore! My mission is to "make your home the way you've always wanted it to be, Clean!" And it all starts with the outside curb appeal!

Matthew and crew weeded and mulched landscaping in front of and on sides of house and did an excellent job at a fair price. He arrived on the day and time promised and was professional, efficient and kept me apprised of the job being done.
I highly recommend "The Outdoor Dude" Matthew for all of your mowing, trimming and landscaping needs.

I was contacted by The Outdoors Dude within minutes! He told me he had a job to finish up and would be over soon after that. Guess what? He did exactly what he said! I had a few things that I wanted done, a spring clean up, my hedges trimmed and a few small branches taken down off a small tree from a storm we had over the winter. Matthew took the time to ask me questions and walk around my property with me asking questions along the way. He pointed out some things for me to consider in order for me to get my property looking good again, and didn’t pressure me to do anything, which I loved! I wound up hiring him and scheduled an appointment for the following day. He showed up on time with his team and finished the job as promised and as quoted. I could not be happier with the entire experience. This young man will treat you right! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.
