I highly recommend James Martin and his Gulfside Landscaping crew. As a custom homebuilder in the Pensacola market, it's extremely important for our team to align with companies like Gulfside Landscaping. James Martin designs unbelievable gardens with excellent selections of plant materials and placement. James and his team offer high level of jobsite management, installing very high-quality plants, trees and materials.

Working with Gulf Side Landscaping has been an amazing experience and I am glad we put our faith into them and chose them. James and his entire team have been great to work with and are nothing but friendly and professional. Our gardens are vibrant and bring life to our beautiful building and we have had a staggering amount of people contact us from social media to calling our office complimenting us on our luscious landscaping. It has really been so much fun with the attention it has garnered! Thank you all so much and cannot wait to start on the new house.

We had flooding issues during Tropical Storm Gordon and Gulfside Landscaping saved the day. We ended up having a fairly substantial french drainage system installed around Thanksgiving. My wife and I were blown away by the quality and professionalism of the crew's work. We received probably over 7 inches of rain immediately after installation and the system handled it beautifully.

The rest of the record breaking amount of rain we received in December proved little trouble for the system as well. The pride the Gulfside's crew takes in their work is abundantly clear in the final product. We know this wasn't one of their bigger projects, but they never made us feel like our project was unimportant. Truly, thank you.

I have the pleasure of viewing the landscape y’all planted up in front of Dr. Henson’s everyday as I drive by going home from work. I love watching it grow and thrive. It is very pleasing to the eye. I love the use of textures and colors in these beds. I stopped in today and saw your ground stack with your info on it thank you for putting that in there. I’ll have to contact y’all once it’s time to landscape my yard.

Gulfside Landscaping is a team of professionals. I hired them to take care of a major drainage issue where I had over 10 of water flowing alongside my house whenever there was a major rain. I had already flooded once, and didn't want to have that happen again. I had to wait a while for Gulfside Landscaping to start my project, but even before the project was started, if we had a major rain Mr. Martin (the president/owner) called me personally to make sure the house was OK or if he needed to try and schedule the project sooner.

In the middle of the project we had a major rain storm and Mr. David (the team lead for my project) came over to my house at 6:30 am (during the down pour) to check on the drainage system they were putting in place and make sure I wasn't going to flood out. That's something I've never seen in the customer service industry before. It just shows how committed Gulfside Landscaping is to their customers, and the employees to their company.

Throughout the whole project, the entire team was very courteous, hard working, and thorough. If you are looking for somebody you can rely on to get the job done, and done well, Gulfside Landscaping should be your first choice. Thanks for all the hard work you did to resolve my drainage issue. Regards, Gary Edgar

We have used Gulfside Landscaping on projects at home at our businesses. Not only did the work exceed our expectations but so did the courteous and professional attitude of the entire staff! Inviting a stranger to your home or business can be a daunting decision. After getting to know James Martin and a number of his employees I feel 100% comfortable recommending Gulfside Landscaping to anyone.

Gulfside Landscaping turned our yard into something we will enjoy for years to come. From the design process to final install, everything went smoothly and exceeded our expectations. We were impressed with the professionalism and hard work of each member of the Gulfside team who worked on the project. Everyone on the Gulfside Team was great to work with and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our yard looks beautiful.

James and his crew at Gulfside Landscaping have done the most amazing job in creating the perfect drainage resolution, yet at the same time, decorated a work of art in the plantings surrounding it that would make one feel they were walking through a Tuscan garden. The olive trees are gorgeous, as are the Tamukeyama maples and beautifully complemented under plantings.

These all surround a dry rock creek bed and stone walkway that include my perfect rock to sit and just reflect and enjoy. I was blown away at the professionalism and enthusiasm of this group. This drainage issue was difficult and beautifully resolved and I just can’t say enough good things about Gulfside Landscaping and highly recommend them! Thanks guys, for all you’ve done!

Gulfside Landscaping created a beautiful woodlands garden that is the "last room" of our house. James and Vince have a strong sense of what landscape design means in relation to architecture so that the house falls into the landscape and is not overwhelming. They created compositions within the landscape with varied and layered textures with a design specific to our needs (one of a kind) as well as to the setting and context.

The three month project was not intrusive which is incredible considering the scope of the project which included tons of boulders used throughout the landscape as well as a parking area. Everyone was courteous, knowledgeable and worked hard. Thank you!

We feel so lucking to have Vince Champion design our landscaping for our new home. He is very artistic, professional, and a man of his word. The crew at Gulfside Landscaping were great to work with as they were on time each and everyday, cleaned up after they finished the days work, and they became friends after three weeks of working on our project. Vince did a total original design which we loved on paper but is better in real life.

The landscaping now is a simple yard to maintain and looks beautiful. In fact, again today, two months after completion someone drove by and took pictures of the front yard from their car. It has happened before. I can't say enough about Gulfside and that Vince Champion is a true southern gentlemen.

James and his crew at Gulfside are the only landscaping company that I trust with my lawn, and with the safety of my family. The design and execution of our property renovation could not have gone any more beautifully. However, what I was most appreciative of was that each of Gulfside's crew members was just as respectful, knowledgeable, and courteous as the next one.

It is nice to work with a business that you feel so comfortable with that you could leave a key to your house with them and feel no anxiety about doing that. If you want work done right by people you can trust, then there is really only one option. I only wish I would have found out about Gulfside sooner!
