Gavin Boyce-Ratliff Landscape Design, LLC

After moving into my home in July 2025, I reached out to Gavin for a landscape consult to review my current yard and talk through my vision. He took the time to walk my entire property and share thoughtful insight on what was there and what he would recommend going forward. Gavin also sent a great, detailed report of his suggestions, which gave me a clear roadmap to work from. My yard was very overgrown and not my style, and Gavin gave me the confidence and green light to start clearing things out to make room for new plants and trees. It was a big undertaking for me this past fall, but I’m excited to continue working with him as we rebuild and transform the yard!

I can’t recommend Gavin enough! His support was so invaluable throughout the entire landscaping process! Gavin helped me figure out exactly what look I wanted, what would thrive in my yard, and how to create a cohesive, intentional design. His focus on native plants was especially exciting for me — it made the whole plan feel so thoughtful and environmentally grounded. What really stood out was Gavin’s depth of knowledge. When I went to pick my serviceberry up at the nursery, one of the employees mentioned she’d taken a course with Gavin and how much she respected his work and depth of knowledge in native landscaping—hearing industry professionals speak so highly of him just confirmed how skilled he truly is! I can’t wait to see everything come back to life in the spring 🌸

Gavin was a joy to work with. All the way from initial concept conversations to the final design, he was able to interpret our desires, and our style, from the questions he asked. His organized approach, clear communication and superior design skills made the entire process seamless. We knew what was happening, and why, every step of the way. I would highly recommend Gavin for his thoughtful and detail oriented approach.

Gavin created a beautiful palette that transformed our shoreline garden into something very special. He did exactly what he said he would and when he said he would. We love the result!

We worked with Gavin on a consultative mini project remotely last summer. He was easy to work and communicate with, and very thoughtful in analyzing our property based on our needs. Based on our soil testing, he suggested a wide range of plants and trees that fit our aesthetic that will thrive for years to come!
