I have a 10 x 10 garden that was overgrown and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. I wanted to learn so asked if I could work with him and he said sure. Mark struck the perfect balance of giving me advice without taking over. We came up with the new garden design together. I learned you can prune the grasses I had growing. We took some plants out, moved others, diagnosed that my snowfountain weeping cherry is getting too much water (which is why it looks so sad), and determined that my norfolk pine is getting too little water. We also got rid of the aphids and white flies on my hellobores plants. He took great pains to ensure I was happy with what we created. If you're looking for a talented, fun, responsible, professional gardener, Mark is it.

Details: Residential • Maintain an existing garden • Small (1,000 - 2,500 sq ft) • Yes, I will provide plants • No, this is a one-time project • No additional services needed

Mark is a great gardener to hire to help you with all of your gardening needs. He’s smart, creative, and fun to work with. He went with my wife to go to nurseries to pick out different plants together and design our wonderful new front yard and new parts of our backyard. He is reliable and communicative. We highly recommend him.

If you’re looking for a gardener in San Francisco, stop your search right now — Mark is the absolute best! I reached out to him with a very last-minute request, and he showed up punctually and ready to work. Not only did he tackle everything I needed with skill and efficiency, but he also went above and beyond to make sure the project looked great. Mark was professional, easy to communicate with, and clearly passionate about what he does. I’m so impressed with his work that I’m already planning to hire him again for the fun part — planting and design! If you want someone reliable, talented, and genuinely a pleasure to work with, Mark is a must-hire. Highly recommend!

Details: Residential • Replace an existing garden • Extra small (less than 1,000 sq ft) • Yes, I will provide plants • I don't need a sprinkler or drip system installed • No, this is a one-time project • No additional services needed • Weeding • Leaf cleanup

Mark did a fantastic job refreshing my garden. He removed dead plants and old soil, added fresh soil, and planted beautiful succulents. He worked on a Saturday, charged a fair price, and followed up a week later to make sure everything was thriving. He’s also coming back to fertilize and adjust the drip system. The garden looks amazing and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!

Details: Small changes like planting flowers or trimming shrubs • Trim trees or shrubs • Plant flower beds • Water features • Front yard • Home

The easiest 5 stars I've ever given! Mark was FANTASTIC to work with. He helped me to stabilize and huge and unruly jasmine plant that had started to pull away from my fence. Mark came promptly and did a quick assessment, went to get materials for the work, then came back and finished the work quickly but with a super high quality bar. I was astonished at how amazing it was to work with him! I will definitely be working with Mark again, and highly recommend him to everyone!
