Developers hire me when they need visuals that actually move a project forward - not just something that looks good, but something that works in a pre-sales meeting, an HOA presentation, or a pitch to investors. I specialize in landscape and exterior visualization with a background in landscape architecture, which means my renderings are grounded in real scale, materials, and buildability - not just artistic interpretation. What clients come back for: - Fast turnaround without sacrificing quality - Flexibility as plans change mid-project - Visuals that make it easy for buyers, boards, and partners to say yes DELIVERABLES: - 3D exterior and landscape renderings - Concept site plans for large developments - Photo-matched visuals for real sites - HOA and pre-sales presentation-ready files BEST FIT: - Residential and mixed-use developers - Pre-sales, HOA approvals, and investor presentations - Projects where speed and accuracy both matter I work with a small number of clients at a time to keep turnaround fast and communication direct. If you have a project coming up, message me with your timeline and I'll let you know if I can fit it in.

I design 3D, contractor‑ready plans informed by 20 years of hands‑on construction — so you avoid costly mistakes and build with confidence. Need answers fast? Book a 45–60 min Strategy Call ($150) or send 2–4 photos for a free 48‑hour photo review. Most clients redesign their landscape once in a lifetime — they want it done right. Not guessed at. Not rushed. Not turned into a pretty picture nobody can build. I grew up on my parents’ 5-acre property helping with ponds, retaining walls, concrete, outdoor lighting, planting, and maintenance. At 18, I co-founded a lawn-care business that grew into a full-service landscaping company in 2006. Over the years, our projects expanded into patios, driveways, large-scale planting plans, outdoor living areas, fire pits, kitchens, water features, drainage, grading, lighting, and long-term landscape maintenance. That field experience matters. It taught me what actually works on site, what causes problems during installation, and what contractors need from a plan. After relocating to Brazil in 2021, I shifted my focus fully into landscape design and sharpened my 3D planning process. Today, I combine hands-on construction knowledge with 3D design so homeowners get clear, buildable plans contractors can actually use. What I help with: ✓ 3D, buildable landscape plans contractors can use to price and build with confidence ✓ Site-specific planting plans tailored to your region and maintenance goals ✓ Patio, walkway, and outdoor living layouts that balance form and function ✓ Lighting and material planning to match aesthetics and performance ✓ Contractor guidance and installation clarity to avoid costly surprises ✓ Practical design decisions before money is spent on construction Clients have said: 🪴 “His 3D renderings became the go-to reference for various contractors.” 🪴 “He wanted to know what WE wanted… and he listened.” 🪴 “Professional, prompt, and exceeded expectations.” I may be a good fit if you’re thinking: “This is my forever home and I want it done right.” “My business needs a better first impression.” “I’m not a landscape expert, and I don’t want to guess.” “The last landscape we did was embarrassing — never again.” Send me a message with 3–6 site photos, inspiration images, your goals, location, and — if you’re comfortable — a rough budget. I’ll review everything and reply with what I think the best next step is. — Mario Ps. What I deliver in a photo review ✹ 3‑point expert read (issues, quick wins, risk) ✹ Ballpark budget range for the main options ✹ Recommended next step (Strategy Call or focused deliverable)
