" When we moved here to the beautiful foothills south of Porterville over 25 years ago. We had purchased our 320 acres rich in native oak and pastures. We built our home with the workmanship of a seasoned builder and could not have been more delighted with the finished product our home. When it came time to put in our yard we took the same approach and hired Chris Kaylor to design and create a beautiful family oriented yard that would further enhance our scenic surroundings. We could not have been happier with Chris Kaylor's creation. In 25 years we are still enjoying his beautiful design in our landscape. "

Chris was absolutely invaluable in the dreaming, drawing and realization of our yard. Chris and his employees are extremely professional and courteous. They show up on time and finish on schedule.

He always follows up to make sure we are satisfied. "

" Kaylor Landscape provides professional and prompt service. The irrigation installation was very throrough as well as the follow-up work that was required to fine tune the system. The staff is very accommodating and trustworthy. The entire project was handled in a professional manner start to finish. The quality of plant material installed was very good and replacement plants were never an issue for those that did not make it. Hardscaping was thought through and discussed several times before the final decision was made. I recommend Kaylor Landscaping as my first choice for professionalism and installation. They are a pleasure to work with. "

" Chris and his crew were a pleasure to work with. With good suggestions from Chris we tweaked the original plan quite a bit and added several water features which turned out great. I was involved in the placement of trees along with Chris and was pleased with his expertise and knowledge of the trees and plants that grow well in this area. Kaylor Landscape's follow-up work is great too! "

We couldn't have been more pleased with the considerable care that was given to see that we got just what we wanted. We recommend Kaylor Landscape without reservation. "

" Chris, Thank you for asking us for our feelings toward the landscape that you have done for us. As you know we elected to build a new home on top of a hill on our property. As it turned out, the hill is nothing more than a "rock pile"!! With your expert irrigation plan and the correct choice of ground covers, our "rock pile" was transformed into a wonderful garden area, that draws a lot of "oos and ahas" when our guest see it for the first time. The maintenance level is low and enjoyement level is high. What else could we possibly want? Thanks again for the wonderful ideas and the expert work. "
- Bob and Carolyn Ruffa

" Dear Chris, Almost 10 years ago, we bought a 44 acre parcel in the foothills above Springville. The view from the property was magnificent but the property itself was all granite boulders and brush. That changed dramatically with your vision and hard work. Today, we have a small oasis amidst the wild terrain of the countryside. You have helped us create a piece of classical heaven with terraced landscaped, gazebos, arbors and, my favorite, our "recreation area" complete with a Roman Bath, Bocci court and horseshoe pit. The landscape hints of English gardens amidst terraces constructed with those same granite boulders that once dominated the property. I never cease being amazed about your ability to see great beauty in what was once a forbidding landscape. You used the native stone, plantings and a little concrete and wood to create something very special. It is not at all unusual for people to stop and stare as they drive by the house. Our relatives and friends (who knew the property before construction began) walk through the gardens and marvel at how the moonscape has been "terra formed" by your design and labor. It is little wonder that you and the property have been recognized by your peers as the 2010 winner of the statewide "Design and Build" competition for your work. I am not sure if we will ever stop adding to the property- seeing what you can do with a kernel of an idea that we conjure up is too much fun! In any event we cannot say enough about what you have helped us create. We thank you and look forward to future projects! "

" We built our dream home and as it was being built Kaylor Landscape worked with us on our landscaping concept and plan. They quickly had the complete plan laid out including all plant locations, curbing design, irrigation plan, and plant types and required quantities of each plant. We were extremely impressed in not only the quick turnaround time with all the planning but once approved they went right to work on the project. While our home was still under construction Kaylor's had all the drainage installed, the back irrigation plumbing set, and had raised all the landscaping beds. They had coordinated with several different nurseries from Santa Barbara, Fresno, Bakersfield, and locally for the purchase of all the plants and trees required and had them delivered in stages so that the planting would be smooth and seamless. They had spent several days collecting different rocks from the local foothills that were just the right size, shape and color to fit the layout of landscaping design. So before the house was completed, the plants, trees, and rocks were all set along with the delivery and setting of several fountains we had purchased. The design, including landscape lighting of each area of our gardens reflect an atmosphere of love and comfort to entertain our family and friends. We would like to thank Kaylor's for providing a professional and most of all a stress free landscaping project from beginning to end at our new home. "

" Over the past several years Kaylor Landscape has done several major projects at my home. Chris Kaylor played an itegral part with all aspects of these projects. My first project was designing, planning, and construstion of a completely landscaped lot that I had purchased next door to my home. The main feature of this project was my dry creek that runs from the top of the hill on down my property. Kaylor's helped in the initial design and layout and then meticulously placed each and every rock and boulder in the dry creek to reach the desired effect I was after. Once the dry creek was complete Chris worked on finding the right boulders for the rest of my yard. He looked long and hard to find the right shape, size, and colors of boulders for each and every location in my new yard. The next and final step was to layout the plants and trees in my yard. Chris was again a huge help in this process from the final layout to picking the specific species of plants and trees to the final planting. The next major project was adding a walking path through my existing yard that had fully mature plants and trees. This required a keen eye and attention to detail to make the path fit in with the mature landscaping. With Chris's help we came up with a plan and the use of different walking path materials that looks as one with nature in my mature gardens. I would like to thank Chris Kaylor for helping me with my landscaping projects. He has a very keen eye for detail, vast knowledge of plants and was a pleasure to work with. "
