Purlieu Landscapes - San Luis Obispo, California

Purlieu Landscapes did a great job with our backyard design. They helped us with two pieces: 1) a full design of our entire 1-acre property broken out into several smaller projects so that we could tackle them over time and 2) fully completing one of the projects for us. They did an excellent job with both.

For the project we took on first, Purlieu created a beautiful design for a previously empty part of our yard. Off of our master bedroom, it is now a nice retreat featuring natural rock hardscaping, colorful planting, and a hot tub. The Purlieu team did a great job planning, executing, and communicating throughout the project. I highly recommend their work!

I was first introduced to Purlieu when my neighbors used them for landscape design and installation. We live in a new home community that lacks landscaping character and maturity. My neighbors became good friends with Michael, the Purlieu landscape lead designer, who did a wonderful job bringing their vision to life. So, when I was working on my own landscaping (which incidentally started well before my neighbors') and had been very disappointed with the boring designs I'd been offered, I considered Purlieu.

Michael is passionate about beautiful landscaping and brings a unique perspective to SLO county design, similar to that found in Santa Barbara or L.A. More importantly, he seems to just "get" what the homeowner is trying to make happen even when we have no idea what we really want. It seemed as if the design was effortless for him. His enthusiasm is contagious! So, plan to be stoked about your landscaping design and installation. Do yourself a favor and learn from my mistakes: I hired three designers before I knew about Purlieu. Start here, and you won't be disappointed!

We used Purlieu Landscaping to design and install and maintain a new garden when the house was constructed. They were very easy to work with and we enjoyed our interactions with Michael Vogt and Taylor Boyle. Kyle Jackson supervised the initial maintenance and made sure that all the irrigation worked as planned. We wanted a bird and pollinator- friendly drought- tolerant landscape that was also easy to maintain. They came up with great choices and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the way the plantings came together and the months of bloom that have supported hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. We put in a small grassy area for the dogs and a dog friendly water tub with a unique fountain that also allows birds to drink and bathe.
If you’re lucky enough to get Ramon for the ongoing maintenance, you will be very happy. Ramon has the magic touch for reviving plants that need a little TLC and he is very responsive to any comments about the garden. We walk through the yard on garden day and when I point any little thing out, it is taken care of that day.

As an architect and developer, I have thoroughly enjoyed my interactions with the Purlieu team. They are highly skilled at landscape design, which pairs nicely with their ability to install the works they create through their design-build business model. You can’t go wrong selecting this team for your next project, and will always feel like you are in good hands!

Purlieu Landscapes is great to work with. We have worked with them on many projects over the years, most recently an awesome green wall! Taylor is one of the best human beings you will ever meet and his team does great work.

First, let me start off by saying how much we absolutely love the whole Purlieu team! It has been a pleasure working with them over the last 2+ years on the design, build, maintenance of our outdoor spaces. Our entire experience, from the design phase to the construction ran smoothly and with ease. Everyone is so friendly, professional, and passionate about what they are doing...it is hard not to be inspired by them. The team was always available to discuss any questions, or concerns we may have had. We did experience some weather delays, but Purlieu was great about communicating adjusted timelines. Overall, each phase of our project still finished on-time and within budget. We greatly appreciate the level of dedication and commitment Purlieu Landscapes took to execute our vision! Going above and beyond our expectations. They truly made us feel like we were apart of the team, and helped make our little oasis a dream come true 🙂

I came across the Purlieu guys by word of mouth from past customers. Never came across landscapers so universally loved. Our project was a hot mess but knowing their expertise, care, and diligence, I had zero reservations.

I’ve worked with enough trades to appreciate those I trust. Couldn’t recommend them more.

We were impressed with Purlieu Landscaping from the beginning when we first met Michael Vogt. He listened to our ideas about what we wanted for our home and implemented a beautiful design. Michael presented us with a well documented set of plans which we were able to review and adjust to our exact needs. Everyone working on our project was professional, competent and kind. Work proceeded pretty much per the schedule presented at the beginning. We love the final outcome and many of our neighbors have commented they do as well. We how have their excellent maintenance team keeping it looking beautiful. Highly recommended!
