Organic Matters

Organic Matters is owned by Heather Whitefield, a landscape designer and contractor with over 25 years experience in residential design and construction. Since launching the company in 1995, we have offered landscape design, installation and garden maintenance services to homeowners and small businesses throughout the Mid Hudson Valley. Our approach to the work we do is based on the idea that landscape design and garden maintenance are two sides of the same coin. A garden is more successful when it is cared for with the design intention in mind. And, a good design will factor in long-term care and sustainability. We use organic methods when building and caring for our gardens. It all starts with smart plant selection. When plants are in the right place--well suited to the site requirements, spaced and planted correctly and are given good care to become established, they are happy and need little or no intervention from us.
