Linda and I hired Tom Snell and his group to design and install the landscaping for our new home in Sea Pines. We, and our neighbors, are delighted with the design, the quality of the plant material, and their ability to work within our budget. Since the installation, their crew has maintained our yard, and we are very pleased with their attention to detail and their concern with keeping the beauty of our original design and even enhancing it. We would not hesitate to recommend Snell & Associates / Gum Tree Nursery to anyone who wants to create and maintain a beautiful landscape environment, and we have done so several times!
