Matthew Gruver

Matthew Gruver joins the Hively team after 3 years working at a local garden center and landscaping company in the York area.  He also interned at a Penn State research facility.  He is born and raised locally, so he has an understanding for what plants will prosper in our region. Matt’s favorite projects often involve converting backyards into outdoor living space for families to spend memorable times together.

Matt received his bachelor’s degree from Shippensburg University. He is an accredited Pennsylvania Certified Horticulturalist, which ensures he can make qualified suggestions about what will work for your landscape and your particular situation. In addition, he regularly attends conferences on topics including better customer service, plant selection, and garden themes. Matt also has his Pesticide Certification License.

Because of these experiences, he can identify many insect and disease problems at your house and suggest ways to fix them. With Matt’s commitment to continuing education and staying current on the latest trends, you can feel confident that you are working someone whose industry knowledge is amongst the finest in our region.

Let Matt create an outdoor space that is right for your personal style and budget.
