Phil Thomas, owner of Glen Springs Enterprises, is a licensed landscape contractor. He discovered his professional calling while assisting a friend on a landscaping job in the late 1970s. Phil realized he had a gift for creating unique landscape installations. Soon after, he quit his social services job and with a partner launched Green Springs Enterprises.
In the 1980s, Glen Springs Enterprises was hired by Ledson Construction to landscape a new 40-unit subdivision in Sonoma. Phil was responsible for the outdoor design and installation, creating a distinctive look for each new home. This experience, and projects in later years, has allowed Phil to explore the full range of his landscaping talents.

Services
With shovel and machinery and wise preparation, we create beautiful gardens and practical outdoor spaces. From worn out or even barren landscapes something special emerges. Functional, too. And pleasing to the eye. We create beautiful gardens for large estates and commercial properties, which require intricate planting, detailed stonework and complex irrigation systems.
A well-landscaped home or commercial building makes a strong first impression. And with the right curb appeal, your property's economic value will increase dramatically. Whether your need is for residential or commercial landscaping in Marin or Sonoma County, Glen Springs Enterprises has the right solution.
Working from a landscape architect's master plan, we make intelligent decisions about planting, combining creativity, knowledge and logistics. The look and feel of an outdoor garden involves many factors: your aesthetic preferences, growth patterns, soil content, sun exposure and the presence of neighboring wildlife, among others.
We use sustainable practices to limit excess water use and minimize run off. Drip systems, low-flow nozzles, automatic water controls, sub-surface irrigation and other water conservation techniques are used. Irrigation repair and client education are also key to promoting green, or environmentally-friendly, water conservation practices.
We offer year-round landscape maintenance, including fertilization, lawn care, pruning, removal of dead trees and shrubs, and other property enhancements and repairs. We offer maintenance services such as lawn care, pruning, and weeding help to keep your property healthy and looking beautiful throughout the year.

Phil & team are great! We hired GSE for a major landscaping project at our weekend home in Calistoga- we're on a hill, structure/engineering for multiple rock walls along our driveway had to be done right. Phil was great at providing recommendations along the way, and always kept me posted on the status of the project. This project completely transformed our property! Highly recommend GSE and look forward to working together on future projects.

Phil Thomas of Glen Springs Enterprises is one of my most favorite contractors to refer. He has over 40 years experience in Landscape Construction (and some design). He has a commitment to excellence accompanied with high integrity. If you are the kind of person with an eye for detail, high expectations and a willingness to pay for the level of quality you demand, look no further than Glen Springs Enterprises. I refer clients to him on a monthly basis and no one is ever disappointed.

If I said all the great things I could say about Phil and his crew, I am sure I'd hit some character max here on Yelp. Let's leave it that if you want your outdoor space transformed from weed garden to stunning, at a great price and by one of the most genuinely nice guys in any business, GSE is the contractor you want. I'm in home finance so I hear the stories often. I'm aware of the number of contractors who will not live up to what they promise. Phil and GSE are not in this camp. Truly impressed and appreciative and definitely willing to recommend!
