Garden Wise

Nearing completion of a major renovation project, it was important for us to find a Landscape Architect that could extend our design style to an outdoor living space. Mark and his Team at GardenWise exceeded all expectations with artistic creativity, attention to details, and a service approach that made us feel like part of his family. Landscaping highlights architecture, but in our case it became the highlight. We recommend Mark for inspiration, collaboration and, ultimately, design excellence.

We were pleased with the creativity, quality of work, and level of service of GardenWise. The plan designed by Mark and installed by his crew, as well as his subcontractors, transformed our yard - on all sides. Not a day goes by without someone stopping by to say how much they enjoy what we had done. Mark also follows up and addresses any issues one might have, including, in our case, quickly replacing two water urns that were defective. A quick look at his online portfolio shows that Mark/GardenWise has created some amazing outdoor spaces. We would highly recommend him.

We have used GardenWise to replace a failing retaining wall, and then install new landscaping around the wall. This was a challenging project, and GardenWise did a great job of managing the process to get a building permit. Once the work began, GardenWise worked efficiently and neatly and actually finished ahead of schedule. They coordinated with our sprinkler installer, too, to make sure the new plants would be irrigated. We are very pleased with the design of the wall and the plantings.

I contracted with Gardenwise to do a complete backyard renovation on Capitol Hill in DC. The finished project was actually featured in the Washington Post for Best of DC getaways. I had a customized fireplace designed and constructed, brick carport installed, a complete outdoor kitchen area to include a grill and refrigerator, picture perfect pergola, and a front steps customized stone installation.

Everything was completed on time and within budget. Mark's eye to detail and oversight of every detail on the project was what anyone would expect from a top notch landscaper architect. I would recommend Garden wise without any hesitation.

Mark White successfully completed a few jobs for my clients in the DC area; he is very insightful, professional, keeps budgets at bay and his creativity and solutions he implemented in these projects, made our clients extremely satisfied.
