My backyard needed a serious makeover that was not trivial. From the very beginning Mark had a transformative vision that nobody I previously talked to had. His spin to the design was unique, creative, and simply beautiful. I did pay a pretty penny for the outcome but I would recommend Mark and his team in a heartbeat. He carries a very professional and reliable team that would not spare a sweat to get the work done! For the very complicated hardscape project to the straight forward one Mark and his team are your guys.

I reached out to Legacy Landscape to help with some poor drainage in the yard. Mark and his team created a strategy for gathering the runoff and installed french drains. Been very happy with the results- it's nice not to have giant puddles of water every time it rains! The crew was quick and courteous and I'd definitely work with them again.

This is the second time weve used Legacy Landscape. Mark and his team created an outstanding design and were very flexible with our requested changes. They did an amazing job, especially given the restrictions we have with easements. Would highly recommend!

Beware using this firm. They over-design so that you pay way too much. In a year or two, the plantings are growing all over itself and you have no choice but to remove about one third to one half of all plants, shrubs and trees you paid for. Mark has no idea how to design for the future. He is simply in it for the initial price. He does not honor his warranty commitments, does not correct his design errors and he doesnt return calls.
