History

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. It is our goal to take every customer’s landscape dreams and create a unique outdoor living area which can be enjoyed for years to come.
As our company has evolved, we have worked to focus on providing unique landscape design & build from the basic patio to complete outdoor living areas. This focus allows us to relentlessly refine our design /build skills and consistently help our customers realize their dreams.
Gilliland Landscape has quickly become one of the most respected names in the central Pennsylvania landscape industry and we continue to strive for excellence in all we do.
