“As a Bay Area designer, I’ve worked closely with Mario and his crew for the past 15 years, and have consistently been thrilled with the results. It’s one thing to design a garden but another to implement and see it through to the end. That’s where Mario and his team come in – turning a creative concept into a reality.

The thoughtfulness and precision that he gives to each decision, finding solutions to the inevitable problems that crop up, and clear communication with the homeowner results in very happy clients. Mario makes my job easy!”

Harmony in the Garden

One of my favorite landscape architects, Thomas Church, believed that gardens are for people – attractive and functional spaces meant to be lived in. Mario helps make that happen, whether as part of a designer’s team or in one-on-one collaboration with individual clients.

As one of his long-time clients, I’ve observed first-hand Mario’s creativity and attention to detail in everything from plantings to patios and outdoor kitchens, custom-built arbors and planter boxes, installations of synthetic turf and garden sculpture, irrigation and lighting.

Working with him has been a pleasure. My garden definitely fulfills its promise as a living space that works for socializing, kids’ activities, entertaining, and just plain old hangin’ out.
