The Rebel Gardener, wow, what an incredible team. I scheduled a walkthrough in late winter, and Chello took the time to really listen first, then offered thoughtful recommendations that genuinely improved the overall look and feel of my yard. I had a mix of projects, including transplanting a few fruit trees, removing some garden beds, pruning a variety of plants, and cleaning up overgrown bushes ahead of spring. Everything was handled with care and precision, and I especially appreciated the photo updates along the way, it was like watching a mini home improvement show starring my own backyard. Professional, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. I highly recommend the Rebel Gardner!

Details: 3 trees • 11 - 20 feet • Fruit • Yes, I will purchase and provide the trees • This is a one-time project • Residential

I couldn’t be happier with the work Marcello did on my lawn. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. The grading and leveling came out even better than I expected — the yard looks completely transformed and finally drains properly. What really stood out was how Marcello took the time to explain everything he was doing and why, which made me feel confident I was getting the job done right. Professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. I’d absolutely recommend Marcello to anyone looking to improve their lawn.

Very pleasant experience. Marcelo took great care to see that my plants were pruned and examined before re-potting and he took additional time to instruct me how to care for my plants in the future.
