About us

Thanks so much for taking the time to review our information. GSI is a full service Design-Build firm employing both landscape architects and installation personnel; we have been in operation since 1984 and have successfully completed projects ranging from hundreds of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. We have done residential, commercial and industrial projects for homeowners, contractors, corporate and government entities. We can professionally design and install all outdoor projects. Our areas of expertise include; landscaping, sodding, drainage, irrigation, lighting, ponds, water features, patios, decks, walkways, and outside structures. We also offer Horticultural Services so that your landscape can be professionally maintained after installation and achieve that mature look envisioned in the original design. We would be more than happy to elaborate on any of these areas, please ask. We will be happy to quote a project that you already have plans and specifications for or give you a design-build quote. Our design-build quotes work in this way, a Landscape Architect will meet with you on site and gather all necessary information. A plan and proposal will be formulated from the information and we will get back to you with a presentation. In this way you have benefited from the professional expertise of a Landscape Architect without the upfront costs generally associated with this professional service. Keep in mind that you get the most benefit from this service when you interact with and give the Landscape Architect as much information as possible. For this professional service all we ask of you is that you respect our ownership of the ideas and concepts proposed until such time as you have agreed to the work. This professional service is what sets us apart from most of the companies with whom you will speak. Our goal at GSI is to give you the very best value possible for the dollar coupled with the highest quality materials and workmanship. To realistically achieve this goal job after job it is not always possible for us to be the lowest bidder on a project. Once we have a proposal that you have agreed to, we will set a date for one of our professional installation crews to come out. All install dates are subject to change, although we do make every effort to stay on schedule. The most common causes of delay are those associated with weather and plant availability.

I hired them for a $20,000 job to do a complete renovation of our back yard. They were unresponsive to my phone calls, I never could get anyone on the phone the same day to answer questions. I even when out to see their shop and the woman who worked there was rude and unhelpful. She said that she would have them call me, and I didn't get a phone call back until I called again late the next afternoon. I told them if I did not get a call by 5pm on Friday to confirm our start date for that Monday that I would cancel, and the phone call never came so I canceled the job and chose someone else to do the work. I was scared that if I couldn't get them on the phone before the work even started, then if there was a problem on the job I would never be able to get a hold of them. I hired Fresh Cut who were fantastic the entire time!
Description of Work: Hired them to do a $20,000 total renovation of back yard/
