Want to work with someone who cares as much about your landscape as you do? Or do you want a designer who has all the answers to your specific questions? You deserve a design that is easy to make and one you’re proud of. Most of my clients are redoing their landscape once in lifetime and I help them crush it. My personal favorite client quotes are: 🪴“Mario knocks another one out of the park!” 🪴“Thank you for rescuing the situation!” My clients are installing more of their landscape projects on time and under budget. In the past year their property values have increase upwards of 15% and many have introduced me to their friends and families. I cannot help everybody, but we may be a great fit if your thinking: “This is my forever home and I want the BEST” “My business needs a facelift” “I know how to run my business and I need a landscape designer on my team” “I’m NOT a landscape expert, and I don’t have time to mess around with designing” “The last landscape we did was embarrassing – I don’t want that EVER again” Working with me, you will: ✅STOP STRUGGLING with design – I handle the DIAGNOSIS, PLANNING, SITE ANALYSIS, CONCEPTS, MASTER PLANS & PLANTINGS ✅Put your best foot forward for installations with accurate BUDGET analysis ✅Get delivered TURNKEY, ARCHITECT- GRADE, FUTUREPROOFED designs and CAD drawings ✅SAVE MONEY by taking my high-quality work & eliminating any unforeseen change orders ✅Learn how to DIY some of the work, and stretch your budget to get more of the features you want Not every homeowner is my client, though – some signs we might not be a good fit include: ✘You need immediate turn arounds (we go through many rounds of review and discussion to get the perfect landscape design) ✘Your overall budget is small (Have you considered the cost of my design, cost of contractors to install & materials) ✘ “Respect for others” is not a core value (We love working with awesome people we respect) I have designed 100s of landscapes and successfully built 100s more. I’ve been an advisor and study under other related trades – bringing more than just landscaping to the table; so, I got a 360 view from every seat. I know what it takes to get the design done and how you can get it installed. My background in numbers: ☀20 years of landscaping and design experience ☀Graduate of Landscape Design ☀Over 250 clients served ☀Over 12,000 client hours saved. About my company, GREEN DREAM DESIGNS: INTEGRITY IN EXCELLENCE above all things: Excellent work, on time, every time. I only take on projects I am certain to knock out of the park. My time is LIMITED: I work fast, but I have 40% Repeat Clients + 40% Referral + Upwork projects invites DAILY. (This is not a sales tactic. It is reality) HERE’S WHAT I LOOK FOR IN A NEW CLIENT: Open mind, relaxed attitude. Actions speak louder than words. Values Integrity & relationships. Knows our minimum scope, and wants the BEST. Check my article linked below. DISCOUNT for US military veterans, active service military, first responders and any Homeowners who have traveled to Brazil. SOUND LIKE A FIT? NEXT STEPS: Option 1 — Send Me a Message If you’re looking for a designer to take the reins and guide you from start to finish, send me a message with your site photos, inspiration photos, goals, location, and — if you’re comfortable sharing — your overall budget. I’ll take a look and let you know within 24 hours what I think the best next step is. If I see a good opportunity for us to work together, I’ll recommend setting up a quick Upwork video call so we can go over your project, discuss scope, and see if we’re the right fit for each other. Option 2 — Book a Paid Consultation If you’re looking to hire a landscape expert for 30 minutes or 1 hour to pick my brain, get advice, and talk through your outdoor project, then a paid consultation is the best path. You can book that using the consultation option on my profile. Let’s get started, Mario
