Natural Elements LLC

Glen fully understood what I wanted done (Florida friendly front lawn) and was so thorough in reviewing all the details with me. He was on site from start to finish and his team was excellent. The subcontractors who removed trees and delivered stones, mulch, etc were top of the line. The plants/trees selected are thriving in their location and the design was more than I had hoped for. There was nothing left for me to do when they left. The project was started on time (he worked to make my timeline!) and completed on time and on budget. Will definitely use for the backyard and any future home.

The rear property line of my large back-yard had long been neglected, and cutting back a huge long-overgrown invasive pepper bush left an unsightly rear property line, exposing a huge void between my formerly private back yard and the rear of the house behind my property. With only two weeks from professional photography on my home prior to putting it on the market for sale, I realized the importance of a good professional landscaper to create a space that was not only beautiful but also solved the problem of a huge unsightly void and was also within my budget. Glen Swisher of Natural Elements LLC answered the call, and despite his very busy schedule, agreed to consult with me on short notice. With his extraordinary gift of professional landscape design knowledge, Glen knew exactly what trees and plants would be perfect for the space to create a current and future beautiful garden. The plan provided for a curved bed of three Southern magnolia trees and flowering shrubbery, artistically and strategically designed to complement some of the existing native palms and plants. His team not only cleaned out huge a mess of a former abandoned "fort" built by a neighborhood kid from cinder-blocks and wood planks, and removed a huge long-overgrown downed tree-trunk over 12 inches in diameter. This clean-out opened up new life for beautiful existing native palms and plants, which were incorporated into the plan. The beautiful new rear yard is an absolute joy. My house went under contract quickly to a buyer who absolutely loved the beauty of the newly designed backyard landscaping and made an immediate offer ... I am grateful to have found Glen Swisher and recommend him most highly. He is a joy to work with, listened to my needs and concerns, arranged for the work to be done quickly and professionally, and I am thrilled with the results. Thank you Glen. You're the best!

Glenn was very Diligent in researching necessary Pinellas County permit information. Glenn was very thorough and worked tirelessly to find the appropriate tree requirements. We are very pleased with the work he did and would highly recommend him again.

I have worked with Glen and his crew as installers for a few of my designs. Glen is very reliable, knowledgeable, and professional. I know that when I am working with him, the install will be executed with the intent of the design in mind without cutting corners.

A truly wonderful experience working with Glen. After spending time listening to our thoughts and ideas, he developed a design that included so much more than we ever would imagine. He has a gift of landscape design! Glen wanted everyone involved in the process, listened, answered questions, amended, and developed a beautiful front yard for us of "birds, bees, and butterflies", which was exactly what we had discussed the first time he came to our home. One of the kindest professionals and human being that I have ever met!!!!

Glen was exactly what i was looking for in a reliable landscaper. Very professional, organized, and full of amazing ideas. He was able to take our backyard and completely transform it! What once was an eyesore, now is a spectacle! His landscape background really shows in his work, with creative use of rocks/boulders and a variety of colorful plants. He will create a well thought-out landscape that best fits your personality. He was even able to incorporate some antiques with our home to make it feel more personal to us. Glen was even gracious enough to help re-pipe our sprinkler system, in order to ensure the best watering plan for our new landscape! We will definitely be spending more time in our yard! I would highly recommend for future projects!

We are very happy and 100% satisfied with the excellent job that Natural Elements has done with our landscape and night lighting! Through the entire process starting from the initial design, selection of the lighting fixtures, professional installation and fine tuning to get just the right effect, Glen has been fantastic to work with! Even after the installation was complete they have followed up and taken care of some additional request that we had. We highly recommend Natural Elements and will continue to use them for all our future needs.

Glen is a man of high integrity and completely trust worthy. Most of our dealings were initiated orally and with a handshake. Written documents followed. He had the contract to maintain the grounds and landscaping at the corporate offices and all branches for over 10 years. This included the landscape design and installation at all new facilities. As a landscape designer, Glen was excellent. He quickly captured the desired look and the total cost was always very completive. Just as important, he made sure we were in compliance with local rules and ordinances. He maintained a visible presence and followed the site well after the project was completed. I highly recommend Glen and would certainly use his services if the opportunity presented itself.

We highly recommend this company for all your landscape needs. Mr. Swisher designed and installed a creative landscape plan for our home that included a variety of plants, shrubs and trees; blooming bushes and annuals; boulders and rock pathways. While working with Mr. Swisher, we found he carefully listened to what we liked and introduced us to other planting options that were all perfectly incorporated into his design. He was conscientious to provide plants that were not only beautiful, but also very high quality. He was very easy to work with, very professional, and determined to make us, the customer, happy. We enjoyed his quality of work and customer service so much, we asked him back for additional landscape work at the later date.

We had the extreme fortune to have Natural Elements LLC design and install the entire landscape for our yard. Glen and Stacy are the whole package! Not only do they have creative and unique design ideas, but their integrity and workmanship are absolutely first class! We felt honored to have them agree to complete an overhaul of our front and back yard landscape, oversee the implementation of a sprinkler system, landscape lighting package, install several stunning hardscape features, as well as a gorgeous fire pit area with large boulders used for seating. Glen made sure to use plants which were native to the area, would be easy to maintain, and give the look I desired. He paid careful attention to drainage, and how the areas of the yard would be used by our family. For instance, our son wanted to have Japanese influence in one area of the yard, so Glen incorporated a concrete Japanese lantern, as well as some plants to complete the look. They were very honest about the process right from the beginning, and their team worked very hard to make sure the job was done with top quality throughout. Even after the entire project was completed, they would come by and check on the status of the plants and do what was necessary to maintain or enhance the beauty of our yard. I can easily say that because of Glen and Stacy, we have one of the prettiest yards in town!

My wife and I after living in our Frank Loyd Wright style 65 year old home for the last 35 years decided to refresh, rework, and recreate the landscape setting for our contemporary home. Glen Swisher with Natural Elements was referred to us as having done work for our city, Lake Jackson, with much the same era and style we were looking for so with hope and some apprehension we visited with Glen and we developed an overall plan and not long after started the reworking of the landscape. We took on only a portion of the plan at first to get comfortable with the new look but by the time the first portion was finished we knew we had found our man. The workmanship, the look, the plants used far surpassed our wildest dreams so we did more of the plan and today after living with the first half of the new landscape for a year we can't wait to get on with the next phase. Many compliments from friends, neighbors and folks just driving by praising the uniqueness in plants and placement of everything used to bring the home and yard back from the past with a fresh new look without changing the style. We love it and we love dealing with Glen.
