About us

At Gregory Davis & Associates we give you a Backyard Dream Vacation! Think about this…you come home, throw down your “work” life and enter a backyard world of nature that’s calm, peaceful and serene. You are transported to a place far away from the stress of your world. Here you can cook, dine and enjoy a glass of wine with the people you love. The sounds of a quiet waterfall, a gentle crackling fire and a deep exhale. You relax in the perfect outdoor living environment and shake off your day! At Gregory Davis & Associates we start directly with YOU. We know that your home is your most important place, that’s why we take the time to gain a deep understanding, at the emotional level, of what you most need for your living space. Our expertise is in helping you guide the design process so you can be certain that everything we create is done to your complete satisfaction. The result of working with Gregory Davis & Associates will be a design that changes the way you experience your home– for the life of your home! In the building process, we employ our OWN hand-picked team of builders who have been a part of our company for years. We would never hire an outside crew. Our team is qualified, and expert at turning your design plans into the exact outdoor lifestyle that you most want and expect!

Homes are a place of refuge, a beautiful, nurturing space where stress is lifted, senses are heightened and comfortable emotions flow freely (often unlike the outside world).

We seldom write a review, but feel compelled to do so now as every day when we come home and see unfinished business per our landscaping improvements, we think of how Greg took off refusing to do a walk through with us to address our issues. For the price Greg charges, we would have hoped he would have been concerned that we were satisfied rather than refusing to do a walk through with us, only wanting his final payment and then disappearing. While Greg is talented, his bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired. It is his way or no way, and then when he gets upset if you try to stand up to him, watch out! Greg made some fundamental errors, like not advising us that a gopher problem should have been addressed before starting the landscaping. While he claims there was no problem when the project started, this is untenable given the property is in the hills of Encino. He should have known this. Correcting the problem cost us three times as much as it would have cost us if it would have been addressed prior to the inception of the landscaping process. Of course, Greg refused to take responsibility, a theme we found throughout our relationship with him. While Greg's people do good work, it is baffling how Greg can become so unglued, and virtually threaten people for payment, without really caring that there are so many loose ends. We now need to find another landscaper to walk our property to finish up little things to complete our project. We have no problem paying someone, but after you have put so much money into a project you would hope that the landscaper would not take a "hissy fit", and take his ball and go home. We expected a little more professionalism from a professional.

Greg's team came out a few days later and completely cleaned up our out of control current plants and put in beautiful new succulents and stones.  The work turned out to be better then we expected.  They even took some old planters that we had in our back parking lot and put plants in them for us.  They really went the extra mile!  It's really nice to have some green back there that we see everyday!

I thought their price was very reasonable for the work that they did. However, I think their prices for actual physical landscaping work seemed a little high. Therefore, I'll probably go with a different company for that service.

Was pleased with the work and would use them again and/or recommend them to someone else.
Response from Gregory Davis & Associates
"The work that we perform is always done with the utmost quality, professionalism and attention to detail. All of our estimates and invoices itemize ALL labor and materials so that it is very clear to our clients what they are paying for. We made 5 different trips to work on the property and the client was billed for the hours that were worked at the same rate as the initial installation a year prior and was charged a fair price for the plants and materials used. The bill was reduced as an attempt at compromise, not because the client was angry."

Went great. They made everything happen seamlessly and kept us involved and informed along the way. My husband is quite a perfectionist and hard to please, but we are very happy. People stop by our house and comment on the yard all the time - even random strangers!
Response from Gregory Davis & Associates
"I'm not sure why we received such a low rating if our quality of work was good and completed within budget, everything looks great and we did everything the client asked us to do. We preformed good work not only initially but continuously through the end of the project, as we always do. Since no issue was brought to our attention during the project we felt that we had exceeded yet another customer's expectations. Personal issues with the owner of a company does not degrade the quality of work, attention to detail and professionalism of the work being completed but not every client appreciates this."

Greg is very knowledgeable, gave us good suggestions and a plan. The work was done thoroughly and quickly. We are pleased with the results. The price is on the high side but it is worth it.
