Matthews Outdoor Living is a company dedicated to creating unique, luxury outdoor living spaces that are as distinctive as the families who enjoy them. As a Licensed General Contractor with over 30 years of experience in the construction industry, owner Donnie Matthews brings a level of expertise and passion that sets him apart. “No two backyards are alike,” he states. “My motto is ‘It’s all in the details.’” Unlike many in the industry, Donnie’s background in commercial construction ensures that clients can trust his commitment to quality and safety as he brings their visions to life.

Donnie began in his family’s construction business, AMP Construction Inc., where he gained experience working on commercial projects. But in 2001, he refocused on his passion for hardscaping and he started dedicating himself to transforming backyards every chance he got. “I fell in love with bringing people’s outdoor dreams to life,” he recalls. Since then, he has been blessed to do what he loves every day, crafting unique outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and patio retreats that reflect his clients’ personalities and lifestyles.

Beyond building stunning outdoor spaces, Donnie is deeply committed to the Jackson community. Whether it’s feeding the homeless from his car on Thanksgiving Day, hosting the annual Mudfest event to raise money for families in need, or offering roadside assistance to strangers, he exemplifies the values of generosity and neighborly support. His dedication to giving back has cemented his reputation as more than just a contractor—he’s a trusted friend and community champion.

Looking ahead, Donnie plans to continue building exceptional outdoor kitchens throughout Jackson, bringing joy to even more families and businesses. He envisions crafting several outdoor venues for weddings, corporate events, and family gatherings, helping others create memories that will last a lifetime. If you are looking to start your own backyard transformation, Donnie personally handles custom designs and stays ahead of the latest trends and technologies in outdoor living.
