I didn't actually work with them, but I called them to get an estimate for resurfacing my condo's patio. I spoke with Gregory after they came out and inspected it and he was extremely helpful. He told me that the project was out of the scope of what they do for various reasons, but he was very helpful in giving me a direction in which to proceed. He didn't give me any specific companies to work with (so there was obviously no kickback or other incentive to him), but told me what to look for to best complete my project. He didn't have to take the extra few minutes to help a stranger, but he did. I think that says a lot about a person and the ethics of the company they run. read more

The workers for the company (Rudy and team) were great, the work completed was of good quality. But it was too expensive for what we got, and closure left us hanging. read more

We completed work for this contractor more than three months ago, and they have refused to pay the outstanding balance. Since then, we've made numerous attempts to resolve the matter through emails, text messages, and phone calls, all of which have been ignored. They have completely ghosted us. To anyone considering doing business with this company--whether you're a customer, subcontractor, or supplier--proceed with extreme caution. Based on our experience, this company does not honor its financial obligations and has shown no interest in communicating or resolving legitimate payment issues. We would strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere unless you're willing to risk being underpaid or not paid at all. read more

We hired GDA last fall for an extensive yard remodel. In November, Greg told us we would need to obtain permits for the work from the city. Great, we said, let's get the plans submitted. Instead he tore up our yard, taking out the grass and (and we not stopped him) attempted to take out the concrete, with no approved or even submitted plans. In January he told us they were hiring an engineer to do the plans. Then in April he told us they still had not hired the engineer and we would need to pay the engineer directly. We reluctantly did so to move the project along. Plans were finally started--and then in July Greg sent us an email saying he was retiring, and we would be on our own (no refunds offered for any of his now useless design services). I think the shop is closed now but if not, beware! read more

We hired Greg to do landscape design with the intention to use him to execute and support a local business in our neighborhood. What an awful experience it was working with him! We gave him our budget and one guideline, which was to make sure everything could be approved by the city as part of our ADU sign off. He delivered a design that was 3x our budget and broke multiple city rules (% concrete and regulation driveway width). We provided clear feedback in our 1 allotted review and he argued every single change we wanted to make, from paint to lighting. And only after following up via email and phone twice did he try to find a solution to our permit issue, which was to lay turf over a regulation concrete driveway after the city approved. Unfortunately we signed a contract and paid upfront. DO NOT make the same mistake! read more

My wife and I wanted to convert our ugly, unappealing landscape into a nice, drought-tolerant oasis. We each had our own ideas but we lacked the ability to bring our individual perspectives into a cohesive vision. That all changed when we reached out to Greg at Gregory Davis & Associates We were very impressed with Greg's approach, professionalism, and knowledge from day one. Greg and his talented team created a beautiful design that incorporated all of the elements we wanted. We now look out our windows and see a beautifully and relaxing scenery; this has truly exceeded our expectations! read more

Greg's company is the best at what they do. Top notch for sophisticated and thoughtful landscaping, stonework and whatever you need to enhance your property. Call Greg today for a list of references. Ron Fineman Keller Williams read more

I have been thinking about working with a landscaping designer for some time now. Today I got on Yelp and decided to call Greg. After a 5 minute conversation, Greg determined that what I was hoping to accomplish with my yard was something that he realistically could not help me with. HOWEVER, this is where the conversation really started. He was so kind and complementing of my home (he saw it on Google Earth), he gave me so many tips and suggestions on what I could and should do with my front yard and back yard. He was on the phone with me for an additional 20 minutes after we determined that we would not be able to work together. Though I did not work with Greg, check out his profile on Houzz.com Amazing! The guys is a professional in every way possible. When I move back to my house on the other side of town, I have a nice 15,000 sq ft lot ready for Greg to do wonders with. I'll definitely post it for everyone to see. Give him a call and at least give him a shot. read more

What can I say about this company ! I just love to use them and refer my clients to them. Greg is super professional, always gives my clients great ideas and when they come to do the job his team is not only fast but very detailed. Thank you for making me look good and for the GREAT work. read more

I have very mixed feelings about our experience with Greg. Although he is very talented and professional, the design work he did for us was not actionable due to his "sky is the limit" approach to design, and ultimately I did not feel he was a good value or respectful of our budget. He says he does all budgets, but the design plan (we paid $1500 for it) he submitted to us was over 5X what we wanted to spend on our front yard project. We got lots of great ideas from him, but when it came to really seeing what he could do for $10K, we were very disappointed. We also found it odd that he didn't offer lower priced options/materials within our budget. He will basically tell you that you have to do it in stages and spend more to get what you want. Ultimately, we talked with other designers and landscapers and got a comparable design and A LOT more for our money in the actual execution. I'm sure his design and oversight/execution would have been great, but don't let him convince you that you can't have what you want for a reasonable budget. read more

I called this company to get some ideas about landscaping. The gentleman I spoke with was very condescending and dismissive. He ask about a budget, and I explained to him, that my budget is whatever it was going to take to get my yard looking good. He clearly had made up his mind in the very beginning of the conversation that I did not have enough money to afford his services. So in a very demeaning way, he was carrying on a conversation with we for some kind sick enjoyment. read more

I called and told the person who answered that I wanted to discuss a project for my backyard. The first thing the guy told me was that they work with projects ranging from $50,000 to $500K. O-kay. I suppose I can give points for honesty but is that the way to approach any potential client? Maybe my project isn't in that price range today but what if I have something that will be in the future? Or maybe I would be impressed with your professionalism and service and would refer you to my friends and neighbors or to my brother, who makes boatloads of money and is doing a major renovation project at his $2M+ home? Alas, none of this will happen, as I never received a call back, despite the fact that I said that I would pay for a consultation. read more

My family had an unbelievable experience working with Greg. Very kind, trustworthy, and professional! - Greg went out of his way to challenge himself and deliver a really cool plan at a budget that my family could afford, then helped us selectively cherrypick our favorite extra expenditures.** The planning process with Greg is not free but after going through it I can safely say it was very much worth our money. (Unrolling blueprints on the kitchen table is always fun, too.) **I was very up front about our budget, letting Greg know we didn't want to waste his time if he couldn't help us out on our relatively small house project. He did a great job working within these constraints on our project. - He's extremely knowledgeable about his craft (gardening, design, current trends, etc etc) but we never felt talked down to during the process. Rather I felt like he was just a great resource to lean on when trying to figure out what we wanted. He was excited about our project and would get ideas about the project on his own while we were in the planning phase, which was great to see. - Greg would arrange meetings at our home on the weekend in order to accommodate our schedules. When we did meet at his office it was a relaxed welcoming environment, where he'd pitch us ideas and let us sample materials he was suggesting for our project. - His crew was always 100% on time, professional, and trustworthy. There was always someone on site in an overseeing role. Greg was often on site himself, overseeing the project and getting hands-on. I had no reservations handing these guys our gate key. - We repainted the house as part of the project and Greg referred us to a fantastic painter who worked together with Greg to plan and execute the painting in a way that really complimented the landscaping. - The project came in at budgeted cost, and ahead of schedule. Greg was very up front about project costs and as you'd expect gave up-to-date line-item inventories of the whole budget, as the project was going along. In general they were super professional in this regard which was comforting when dealing with such a large expenditure. - OUR YARD AND HOUSE LOOK INCREDIBLE. I'm writing this about a year after the work was done and... just wow. Best yard on the block. We get compliments literally every time someone comes over to our house. We hosted a neighborhood community meeting at our home a couple months ago and were told by most of the folks there that they thought our house went from "worst to first"- from an eyesore to the best looking house on the block. - Finally, the functional elements of the design are working exactly as designed/intended- sightline blocking, shade elements, etc etc have all grown into the roles Greg promised. This review is way overdue but I hope it helps someone choose a great landscaper who treats people like family! read more

I have had the opportunity to see some of Greg's landscape design at several different homes, and I have been nothing but impressed with the quality and variety of his work. Greg is very passionate about providing excellent customer service and tailoring his landscapes to meet his client's personal needs and their budget. He is extremely hands-on and conscientious with his clients. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent landscape designer. Seth Ricker, Metropolitan Cleaning Pros read more

We didn't end up using Greg as our job was a bit too basic and didn't involve any design, BUT... He called me back after my inquiry and was extremely helpful in suggesting where we look to find a landscaping contractor and what materials might be good for the project we have in mind. We'd certainly contact him in the future if we have a job that might be more suitable for his expertise. Thanks Greg! read more

Greg recently completed the landscaping project for our condominium building, and things turned out absolutely fantastic!! The project design had a tremendous amount of thought behind it; the work was done in the promised timeframe; the workers he employed were courteous to our neighbors and respectful of all of our owners; and the project completed within our budgetary guidelines. Greg and his team transformed our building into an environment that is calming and soothing, and definitely the envy of our neighborhood. Greg's unique ideas have changed the entire look and feel of our building, something very necessary after a protracted time in disarray due to some construction litigation. You owe it to yourself to contact Greg Davis and Associates and have them create a landscape environment you will enjoy and treasure for years to come Gary President, Traviatta HOA read more

My first call into this company was answered by Nick. He was very nice and friendly. The very next morning, just as I was told, Greg called me back promptly. He was super nice, informative and even though my job wasn't a good fit for his company, he still took the time to lead me in several good directions towards reputable companies that may be able to assist me with my yard project. Overall, I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks a bunch:-) read more

I have worked with this company few times on different types of projects. All employees have great attitude and open to listening to different options. Most companies are set in their ideas and ways but with this company you have more options if you just make a suggestion. I worked with Scott on a project where the client was asking for a specific type of wood to be used and Scott made it happen! read more

I called Greg after he was referred by a good friend. I needed "something" to freshen up my backyard. We discussed pricing, and the amount of work I needed at this time was not much, so he instead gave me some wonderful ideas that were inexpensive and quick fixes, and to come back when ready for the big job. He was spot on for his ideas, a pleasure to talk to and a professional. I'll be back soon Greg....your the best! read more

Greg and his crew are visionaries and they will truly change your environment. Amazing work from beginning to end!!! read more

Greg David is amazing to say the least. Nice to work with and the results will be way beyond your expectations. His artistry is in a league of it's own. Great, great, great. read more

We weren't able to use the services of Gregory Davis and Associates at the present time - our job was not in line with the kind of work they do. However, when I expressed my frustration at not knowing how to go about finding someone to do the job, Eduardo took the time to help me figure out the best way to search for a contractor that would suit my needs. In fact, he gave me phone numbers of people that he thought might be able to help. I will definitely come back to Gregory Davis and Associates when the time comes to overhaul our landscaping - true professionals with an eye towards helping customers, even when they may not get the "sale" this time around. Kudos and thank you, Eduardo!! read more

I have a ranch house in Van Nuys that is lacking curb appeal and I really needed some advice on what to do with the landscaping. While Greg pointed out that he was more than I needed, he very graciously spent 15 minutes on the phone with me pointing out the issues and telling me what to do to make the house look more inviting and a place that renters would want to call home. He even told me specific products and colors to get and told me where to get them!! I truly appreciate his help and if he was willing to help me out without getting paid a cent, I cannot even imagine how incredibly he must treat his clients. Highly recommended! read more
