Who We Are:

 

My name is Howard Lawrence. I own and operate Natural Matters in Leon County, Florida. I believe in taking an environmentally friendly approach to yard care, specifically soil fertility work, by developing a soil environment that is non-toxic to beneficial soil life, an “infrastructure” of beneficial bio-processes and controls.  Natural Matters is based on the

understanding that the soil is a living arrangement, and all life

systems depend on healthy nutritional support. Natural Matters

is committed to building and maintaining healthy yards by avoiding

synthetic salt-based fertilizers, applying organic amendments,

stimulating microbial activity, and promoting proper management practices, while striving to provide these services at competitive prices.

I have been in the landscaping business for over 30 years. I have a Certificate in Nursery Operations from Lively Technical School and am trained as a Master Gardener. I have met all requirements to be fully trained through the City of Tallahassee Landscape Fertilizer Applicator program, as well as the Green Industries Best Management Practices Program developed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and IFAS.  I have a Commercial Landscape Maintenance license from the State of Florida, Bureau of Entomology and Pest Control. I am licensed and insured.
