Stone plays an indispensable role in garden design. Where plant materials are soft and transient, stone is stable and abiding. Stone embodies the masculine characteristics of strength and rigidity, providing a backdrop against which the feminine aspects of growth and renewal are made all the more enticing. James Martin incorporates stone in myriad ways throughout his garden designs, from dry creek beds lined with polished river rock to the patterned geometries of textured pavers and natural slate walkways.

Light plays an integral role in garden design. Its power manifests in the nurturing rays of the sun, breathing life into plants and flowers. When filtered by leafy trees and hedges, it creates shaded coves that offer refuge from the heat of the day. Light interacts with the landscape to create vibrant explosions of color that dazzle the eye and soft shadows that provide texture and contrast. As the sun sets, entirely new scenes emerge through the artistic placement of lighting. Floodlights reveal new perspectives on towering trees, while accent lighting creates places for intimate gatherings.

Controlling water in gardens is prioritized in my design considerations. Providing adequate irrigation in times of scarcity - as well as drainage in times of overabundance - are equally important aspects of thoughtful water management. Water is an essential component in the planning, creation and ongoing maintenance of James Martin's artistic garden designs. Like every aspect of our work, we carefully consider our use of water in irrigation and water features. We strive to achieve a balance between aesthetic considerations, the needs of the landscape and impacts on the surrounding environment.

As a garden designer, it is my job to take the empty canvas and turn it into a priceless piece of art. Exceptional detail means precise symmetry, vibrant colors and evoking emotion in every design. Gulfside Landscaping creates incredible gardens for discerning clientele on the Gulf Coast of Northwest Florida and beyond. Each custom garden design is unique, drawing inspiration from both local history and international destinations. From our initial consultation through completion of installation, every detail is considered to provide visitors with an unforgettable experience.

I have the pleasure of viewing the landscape y’all planted up in front of Dr. Henson’s everyday as I drive by going home from work. I love watching it grow and thrive. It is very pleasing to the eye. I love the use of textures and colors in these beds. I stopped in today and saw your ground stack with your info on it thank you for putting that in there. I’ll have to contact y’all once it’s time to landscape my yard.

James and his crew at Gulfside Landscaping have done the most amazing job in creating the perfect drainage resolution, yet at the same time, decorated a work of art in the plantings surrounding it that would make one feel they were walking through a Tuscan garden. The olive trees are gorgeous, as are the Tamukeyama maples and beautifully complemented under plantings. These all surround a dry rock creek bed and stone walkway that include my perfect rock to sit and just reflect and enjoy. I was blown away at the professionalism and enthusiasm of this group. This drainage issue was difficult and beautifully resolved and I just can’t say enough good things about Gulfside Landscaping and highly recommend them! Thanks guys, for all you’ve done!

Gulfside Landscaping turned our yard into something we will enjoy for years to come. From the design process to final install, everything went smoothly and exceeded our expectations. We were impressed with the professionalism and hard work of each member of the Gulfside team who worked on the project. Everyone on the Gulfside Team was great to work with and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our yard looks beautiful.

Love Gulfside!! They do amazing work and are very professional would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a beautiful landscape or lawn maintenance.
