Back in 1999, in the small town of Curwensville, Pennsylvania (near Dubois) James Gilliland and his brother Jordan started cutting grass and landscaping at the age of 14. The company grew and expanded steadily through 2004, when James graduated high school and determined to further his education at Penn State University.
The decision was made to enter the Landscape Contracting program at Penn State with a concentration in Design/Build. Throughout the four-year program, James continued to grow the company and graduated from Penn State with a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Contracting Design/Build in 2008. The education which James received demonstrated the need for continued learning, training, & innovation to consistently exceed our customers expectations.

Services
We are a full service landscape company. We specialize creating unique outdoor living spaces of the highest value and quality to match our client's personalities and character. Our services include Landscape Design, Lawn Installation, Hardscaping(Patios & Retaining Walls), and Landscape Maintenance.
As one of the largest and fastest growing lawn care companies in the Central Pennsylvania Region, we have been refining our processes since our inception in 2005. Unlike some companies that just paint your grass green, or overfertilize which can lead to severe thatch problems and an un-healthy turf, our fertilizers nourish your soil AND gently feed your lawn.
Lawn aeration and overseeding typically go hand-in-hand as part of a well-rounded lawn maintenance program. It allows your lawn to breathe while providing the necessary growth to create a thick, green lawn in the long run. As the summer wears on, your lawn usually becomes compacted, leading to dead grass and blocked nutrients.
Life can get busy and the trees and shrubs you optimistically invest in may get ignored - a perfectly understandable situation given the high-maintenance attention they. Caring for them with proper nutrients and protection from common pests and disease will no longer be a weight on your shoulders - we'll completely take over the job, so you'll receive the lawn all your neighbors will be talking about!
In lush areas like Dubois, Clearfield, Punxsutawney, St Mary's, State College, Bellefonte, and Philipsburg, PA fleas and ticks are some of the most prevalent and invasive parasites sure to cause you and your family trouble during spring and summer. We believe the only effective method of treatment is timely applications directly at the source of the problem.

Very professional and quality delivery. Design was spot on what I needed, work was exceptional and on time. Entire project was about a week in length. Crew was very organized and did quality workmanship. Was very impressed with the team and how they executed the plan. They tidied up the yard and driveway at the end of each day.

James and his crew transformed our back yard into a stunning oasis. The wall installation was extensive and completed in two short weeks. The work done was beautiful and we couldn't be happier. Over 140' of wall with a maximum height of 5.5' installed in two weeks with incredible precision!

I used this company to put in a new retaining wall under my deck. The old wall was leaning out and I was concerned it would damage my deck above. I contacted the company and the owner came and looked at the wall and suggested how he would construct the new wall, He indicated that he had a number of jobs and gave me a time frame as to when it would be done. He kept the forecasted time and the old wall was removed and the new wall was put it. The crew working on the job was very skilled, cordial and did a terrific job. I would not hesitate to recommend this company for consideration for landscaping

We just purchased our new home 8 month sago. The previous owner used Gilliland. The house looked professionally manicured when we were searching for a home in the community, so we decided to stay with Gilliland, to keep our property looking like a model home in the neighborhood. Great people. Great service. Excellent results.
