President and Founder – Jerry Allison
Jerry is the heart and soul of the company. We named the company after him, after all. His artistic yet practical designs, eye for quality, respect for the land and fair business practices gave original life, love, and longevity to the company over 40 years ago and are the leadership goals that drive our company today. He lives in Aptos with his beautiful wife, mother of two, extremely talented (and the best G'ma ever!) Company co-owner Cecille.
Their son Scot now runs the daily operations, and hijacks's dad's website (hi mom, love you!). We also have grand-kids Chris and Carolyn who grace our presence when they need a paycheck, and are honestly behind the driving force of our Company: original life, love for family, and longevity of satisfaction in our physical surroundings. We are a family run, family oriented group of business people that treat you like family from the very first phone call. Meaning...we ask you for money.
Our Philosophy:
The outdoor art of a Jerry Allison Landscape celebrates the natural diversity of the land. At Jerry Allison Landscaping Inc. we believe that through the creation of beautiful natural habitats, people can enjoy a harmonious connection with nature while achieving a greater appreciation for the art found in the natural world and the creativity found in themselves. Bla bla bla... fast forward from 1974.....flower child!
Hi. I'm Scot, Jerry's website hijacking son. Don't get me wrong, Jerry has this crazy innate psycho ability to create absolute outdoor beauty. It's a sickness. It's a talent. It truly is art, and I remain in absolute awe at Jerry's ability to conjure miracles from literal dirt to landscapes you can't help but notice. That said, we also place a strong emphasis on simply having a yard that works. No one likes weeds, and dead plants, and mud pits... No one likes working hard all day, struggling to earn money, just to come home to a dump. If you are working to improve your castle, it should shelter you and welcome you and stand proud, like a castle. Your castle. Your home.
Summer droughts, winter rains, earthquakes, floods, and everything in between, we build beautiful yards that withstand time, look good, and age as well as we do. Our landscapes from decades ago look like we built them last week, and we are proud of that. We want your kids and grand-kids to keep the family home as a cherished family treasure, or at least have great resell value when you cash out, ditch the kids, and move away!
We place emphasis on proper engineering, thoughtful future utility needs, convenient access in all weather conditions, seasonal low maintenance beauty, proper drainage for property protection, and elements with a purpose of play. No one lives in a museum, and no one wants to maintain a museum. You work hard for your money, let us help you spend it on lasting value and daily reward. Your castle. Your home.
Timeless functionality with the ability to impress, now and forever. Landscapes you can't help but notice.
