Our Journey
Hi, I'm Gavin Cotter, the owner of Urban Oasis Outdoor Living. My love for the outdoors began at a young age. When I was 10, I started helping our elderly neighbors with their lawn care needs, and that sparked my passion for landscaping. Driven by ambition, I founded Cotter’s Cutting, starting with just seven lawns within walking distance. As I got older and was able to drive, my dad and I built my first trailer, which gave me the freedom to expand my lawn care and property management business across Sioux Falls.
After nine years in the lawn care industry, I made the transition into project-based work, sold Cotter’s Cutting, and rebranded under the name Urban Oasis Outdoor Living. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working on a wide range of complex residential and commercial projects. I find great satisfaction in bringing my clients' visions to life and creating something unique for each space.
At Urban Oasis, we’re dedicated to delivering exceptional service, quality craftsmanship, and attention to detail, ensuring every outdoor area is transformed into a true oasis. I look forward to the opportunity to work together, whether you're looking to improve your property or build your Urban Oasis.
