Custom Water Feature Companies in San Luis Obispo

“We worked with Purlieu on a full front and backyard landscape project, and the result exceeded our expectations in every way—both creatively and execution-wise. From the start, the design was far beyond anything we could have envisioned on our own. Michael has an exceptional eye for landscape design and a deep understanding of plants, materials, scale, and flow. He took the time to truly understand our priorities, how we wanted to live in the space, and the elements that mattered most to us, then translated that into a cohesive, intentional design that connects the front and back yards beautifully. One of the standout aspects of the project was the creativity and problem-solving involved—especially in bringing our fountain feature to life. The engineering and detailing behind it were impressive, and it now serves as a true focal point in the space. Throughout the process, Michael presented thoughtful options and worked closely with us to refine the design in a way that aligned with both our aesthetic goals and our budget. We also appreciated how collaborative the experience felt, particularly in areas where we wanted to be more involved in material selections and finishes. The construction phase was equally strong. Demo and installation were clean, well-organized, and efficiently managed. The onsite crew was meticulous and detail-oriented, and the project was completed on time as promised. The craftsmanship and final execution—both in quality and visual impact—were exceptional. We highly recommend Michael, Taylor, and the entire Purlieu team to anyone looking for a landscape design-build firm that delivers thoughtful design, expert knowledge, and beautifully executed outdoor spaces.”

“The landscaping at our new home was tired, old fashioned and consumed too much water. Nicole developed a plan, both hardscape and landscape, that expanded our patio and installed a beautiful array of natural grasses and plants that worked seamlessly into the native oak tree area that abutted out property. The plants have developed nicely over the year since installed and our water consumption has dropped dramatically. We could not be more pleased with the results. Our neighbors were also impressed and a number of them have been motivated to upgrade their landscaping with low water usage native plants.”

“Jeffrey astutely asked what we were missing inside our house as a way to inform his design of our landscape, and we discovered we were lacking a party room. He proceeded to create a backyard design that manages to feel festively intimate yet spacious, no matter the number of people around the fire pit, the central element of the design. Many of Jeffrey's designs feature a fire pit, and his experience with the appropriate use of scale and dimensions is apparent in the way people interact with it. Access to the back is via an Ipe deck strewn with festoon lights, creating a warm palette against the concrete of the fire pit area. Jeffrey is talented, decisive, and observant; he designed our garden remotely after one site visit and introduced us to our landscape contractor.”
