Mark Wenninger

From the beginning when Mark came out to look at our project, Mark was very friendly and demonstrated a professional demeanor. Through his wise consultation, he helped us plan and offered insight into areas of our project t hat we had not considered and also helped with some new planting ideas. He was extremely reliable. He always called us the evening before to let us know what time he would be at our house. We are very happy with the work he provided us and our backyard has never looked better. We highly recommend him for any landscaping or hauling projects that might be needed.

Very personable, came twice and BOTH times was early. Knows his stuff back and forwards. Told me where to get azaleas, how to judge quality, he planted and showed me how and when to water for best results. Even gave me pointers on other mistakes that I was making with trees here. Highly recommended, independent, experienced and socialable.

Mark is definitely the professional you need to assist with your landscaping projects. He is professional, friendly, informative and a real pleasure to work with! Thank you Mark!

When I met with Mark and told him what I wanted him to do, he offered some recommendations as well and my yard looks amazing, just in time for the Labor Day festivities.

Great job. Our yard is in much better shape and easier to maintain. Mark was awesome. He listened, talked with us about his plan, and gave great advice and recommendations on how to maintain our yard after he finished.

Mark did a great job re-doing our front beds. Pulled the plants out we wanted gone and planted the new ones, trimmed the hedges, and laid the pine straw. It looks great!!

Mark was recommended to us by a neighbor on Nextdoor. We had him come out to help us with our yard (front and back) we had several bushes that were getting out of control and were hard to maintain. Ultimately we all agreed that several bushes and some trees (some severely frostbitten) were inhibiting several other bushes and trees growth. Once Mark knew what we needed, he went to work and wow, was he fast and thorough! I've never had a landscaper tell me the truth about my yard like he did as well! He told us why he was doing everything the way he was and it made sense to us. Mark is very knowledgeable about anything landscaping. Mark is honest and very helpful! I feel his rate for what he did was amazing! He did exactly what he said he was going to do and not one thing is out of place! I look out at my yard and it looks less cluttered and feels good to know what is left will grow in a much healthier environment thanks to Mark! I highly recommend him for anything to do with your yard!

Mark was extremely knowledgeable and forthcoming about the service he would provide. He quoted me an unbelievable price via the phone, but when he arrived, he didn't charge me for the service performed. He taught me about the trees that I wanted trimmed and how to best maintain them and a few other areas of my property. He is honest and has integrity, both of which is not present among other companies.

Mark showed and as always did a great job at a fair price. He always goes the extra mile to help explain the needs of your plants and trees along with any other work he is doing. Mark handles all his work and you can really see a difference in the pride he takes compared to larger landscaping companies in the area.

If you are reading all these positive reviews and wondering if the hype is real: it is. Mark does such hard work at a fair price, and he really cares about the finished product. So much so that he will do extra work to do the job right. He went above and beyond to teach me how to maintain the yard so it never reaches the bad state it was in again (and so I won't need to call him again). He said, "The next time I should hear from you is when you sell this house because this is a permanent job." I know what he meant, but I will absolutely be calling Mark for any future landscaping needs I have, and I would recommend him to anyone.

Mark Wenninger is the man for all things green and growing! This is the third time over the years that we have hired Mark once we saw his name on Angi. Our palm trees look like a million dollars under his care and he knows how to trim bushes so they look great. He is so knowledgeable and explains everything he is doing and why and how to make your whole yard look better. He cleans up all debris without harming any groundcovers (quite a feat) and hauls it all off. He is a true professional and his work shows it.

I saw reviews that said Mark "is the man." WOW that was correct. He was a one man dynamo - took out unnecessary bushes, pruned much needed bushes, got rid of the weeds and taught me (older lady) how to do that job with his secret formula and my new sprayer. I could not be happier - makes me smile when I go out on my back porch and look at his transformation of my back yard. I highly recommend Mark.

Mark responded quickly to my call for an estimate and was able to start to job the following day. The price was fair and he showed up when he said he would. He kept me informed throughout the work and cleaned up after himself each day. He gave me suggestions on how to best care for certain areas in my yard. I appreciated his advice and would not hesitate to hire him again.

Our front and back yard was a mess when we moved to our new house. Weeds and errant plants cropping up everywhere, overgrown shrubs up against the house, and the backyard had a badly conceived border of mismatched bricks sticking up at odd angles everywhere, it was a hazard to walk around. Mark came in and hauled out all the bricks, leveled the ground, and laid sod around the patio. It looks so nice now, with easy upkeep. He trimmed the whole yard, sprayed the weeds, and even gave us some chemicals for future applications. Four days of work turned out to be a very reasonable price. Very happy with my yard now.

Mark is a very nice, kind and hard working man. We had a lot of hedges that need a professional trim. Flower beds were a mess and full of debris. Weeds that became trees because our last gardener did not remove when small. He is very punctual, has a positive attitude and communication is great because he listens. Don’t hesitate to call him. Thank you, thank you, Mark.

Mark is the man. Make no mistake and look no further. You found your guy. Knowledgeable, superb work ethic, and most fair price you can find. Never using anyone else again.

Mark was very professional and willing to give advice to improve my yard and garden. I greatly appreciated his service and advice. Candid and honest. I will definitely call him when I need additional help with my trees.

I highly recommend Mark. His is a true professional and has many years of experience. And it shows when the work is done. Our yard never looked so good. The next time I need something done, he'll be the first person I call. Thanks Mark!

I have used Mark several times and have been very happy each time. He does a good job at a reasonable price

I highly recommend Mark. He does all is own work and shares his knowledge freely. Mark provides honest advice and does not try to upsell his customers. I will definitely hire Mark again for any landscaping project.

Mark was wonderful! He was honest and reliable. He also worked within my budget and did a fantastic job! I have already started receiving compliments about the upgrades to my yard. I will definitely hire him again! - Amanda Ehrlich

He did excellent work for a fair price, cleaned everything up, and even did extra work. When he was running a little late, he called me to let me know of his new arrival time. A real gentleman and professional!

I hired Mr. Wenninger to put sod in my tiny condo back yard. There were so many mistakes made that I need to list them instead of putting them in a paragraph. 1.) I told him that the yard was approximately 15 x 25 (it is actually a little smaller). He came out to check out; did he measure it to make sure the size was correct? No. (It seemed like he didn’t know how many square feet of sod is in a half pallet as he told me that all the extra could be used in the front of the house; he nearly ran out.) 2.) In doing some research, unfortunately ‘after the fact’, I discovered that the site needs to be prepared; leveled, and dug up at least 2 inches deep to support the new roots of the sod, and watered prior to laying the sod. Was any of that done? No. 3.) The sod pieces need to be laid staggered like laying patio blocks, and each piece needs to be installed very tightly next to the surrounding pieces. Was that done? No. (Now there are very obvious lines/gaps were the rows were not properly installed.) 4.) The grass started turning brown at one side of the yard, and within two days the brown area had more than doubled in size. I asked him to come back and check it, but he refused. His recommendation over the phone (not having seen the grass) was to fertilize it....even though the rest of it was still lush and green. He sent me to a store that sells only lawn and garden supplies and chemicals. I took photos of the yard with me and showed them to the senior expert. He immediately said the brown was not due to fertilization, but due to the bugs that needed to be sprayed for immediately after the sod was laid, and watered thoroughly. (In order to save money for the sod farm, they apparently stopped treating the sod for insects, especially army worms that are prevalent in the south this time of year, and expect that the landscaper will do that.) Was that done? No. When I first reported the issue and told Mr. Wenninger he did not give me the correct solution, and when I told him that it was figured out by someone else, he said that ‘we all make mistakes and are all learning’. HUH? The landscaper should know what the issues are and preemptively avoid them. It’s ridiculous to expect the homeowner to know what the problem is, or what to do to fix it. He should have come out and looked at the yard for himself. When I told him what the actual professional said, he said he was glad that I found the problem and fixed it. What kind of professional does that? So I fixed the (his) problem by getting the chemical and spraying it; that only stopped the infestation, but did not fix the problem of the dead grass. When I contacted him again about replacing the infected/dead sod, he immediately told me that he would have to pick up another 1/2 pallet of sod and that there would be a lot left over so it could be put in the front of the condo, and that he would give me a quote to do that. Seriously. When I asked if he thought that I was going to pay him to do part of the job over (hopefully correctly) he told me that it was not his fault. I also asked him to come out and look at it to see if it might be salvaged, and he refused to even do that. Instead, he told me to go back to the place where I got the bug spray and ask them for advice for next steps. Yes, he not only accepted NO responsibility for any of his mistakes, but sent me to figure out how to fix them. He told me that he would put a quote together for me to pay him to remove the grass that his negligence killed, pay for more sod, and pay him to install it. That’s who I was dealing with; no knowledge of site prep, no support after installation, no acceptance of any responsibility for work done incorrectly, no guarantee of work. And, after multiple requests, no proof of licensing. (Working on that issue with Angie’s List and the licensing board.) When you hire somebody to do work, make sure they provide a written contract, and that they will support the job if there are issues, that there work is insured, and that they are professionals with a valid license.

Mr. Wenninger is extremely accommodating and very thorough. He did great job and our property looks so nice. He is also very reasonable. We will definitely contact him and utilize his services again.

It went very well, this was his second time in my yard, the first was to remove overgrown weeds and trees and haul them off. He work was very good and that is why I hired him to do the landscaping work. Highly Recommend him.
