“I have worked with Purlieu Landscape for a large variety of projects since they first started their company. They never disappoint. They have very high integrity, and they work with you to create specific expectations and clearly defined goals in order to make each project a success, no matter how large or small the project may be.

Jeffrey Gordon Smith Landscape Architecture
Landscape Architects & Designers in San Luis Obispo
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 23, 2012
“I have had the pleasure of working with Jeffrey and the JGS team installing a handfull of his projects over the last several years. It is refreshing to work with a landscape architect who proactively seeks unique plant material and elegantly weaves together a rich palette of natural materials. Jeffrey is committed to the design process from conception to fruition, and takes the time to be onsite for the tweaks that bring a project to life. ”

“We have built designs created by Schmiedeberg Designs, and the plans are always easy to read, accurate, and well-detailed. I would definitely work with the lead designer, Brandon, again.”
