OT - Landscape Architect on Coast

[CoastDawg18]

Anyone have a recommendation for a landscape company on the coast to do design and installation work for a house and pool? Thanks!

Gulf Breeze Landscaping. They’re out of Gautier, but are huge and work all over the coast. Ask for Will Battley.

Christian is a great guy.

Did he come back to OS? I had a meeting with him a couple years back and he said he had moved his office (and himself) to Fairhope,AL and only had a “storefront” on the coast.

And no thanks (for me) because speaking of the meeting I had with him: it took a week to set up and when I met him he informed me that he wasn’t interested in the project because the public was against it and he agreed with them. The 17’r could have told me that over the phone when we were setting the meeting up and not wasted my time going to the site.

I have projects all the time that require a LA and I’ll never call him again. And I’m not the only engineer on the coast that has similar sentiments, which is probably why he moved…

Wait, so you are mad that your project sucked and he was honest enough to admit it? Thats the type of consultant i would want to hire. Yeah, i would be aggravated that he wasted your time though.

LOL, no the project has been well received and looks great. Most of the public that were originally opposed to it love it now.

The LA that did the simple task I asked Christian to do is also a huge MSU fan.

If you like him, cool, keep using him. I had a bad experience and there are several other options so I will never use him.

Out of curiosity, what was the project that the public was originally against?

...but add that i'm unsure how much extra time he has at the moment. his 15 year old as been battling cancer for most of the year. doing well but that may lead to delays. i would use him. he is like many architects. the work they do has their name on it and if they don't want their name on it, they aren't going to do it. hell, my sister in law wouldn't design my house bc it wasn't modern enough for her to put her name on it. some people don't understand that.

Turf Masters in Pascagoula. They do work up and down the Coast including some Casinos. And, in the words of a car salesman we all know, “I wouldn’t lie to you!”
And, if you don’t mind working with someone via phone and computer, I can put you in touch with a great one.

 

[CoastDawg18]

Thank you all for the suggestions. I’ll make some calls to these folks.

Vandalay Industries has done some excellent work for me, although admittedly they excel at the architecting over the landscaping.
