We not only have been using Gurley's for our seasonal color needs in the past, but used them for landscape design and install. Andrew, the landscape architect, did a fantastic job designing our backyard! We wanted simple and low maintenance, but also aesthetically pleasing plant material. We could not be more happier choosing Gurley's as our landscape company! The absolute best in town! When you pull up to our house, you know who designed it. it was Gurley's!

Fantastic landscaping design and installation around a new pool and the driveway/walkway to the pool. Bud Gurley was on site for 2 days during installation to make sure the crew did it right. He also advised how to grade the rest of the lot to avoid drainage issues and where to place the fencing on a large lot. Nikki in the office is very helpful and quick to respond to questions.

We contacted Gurley's for a hardscaping, lighting, and landscape quote per the recommendation of our builder. It was difficult to get a response to the inquiry, and when we finally got the proposal, it was ridiculously expensive -- not to mention that it was not complete. When we repeatedly asked for revisions based on our needs, we had to wait for the sales rep / designer to respond. Overall, the proposal was not a good value, especially for the amount of effort it took to get it. I can only imagine how painful completing the project with these folks would have been. I'll pass.

Gurley's did a great job trimming one of our trees and laying sod in the back yard. The crew was efficient and cleaned up the area totally when they were done. Great experience.
