We had a small job & I was so glad Mark decided to take it as my energy & time have been stretched thin after a recent move from San Diego & was anxious to tackle a small issue in our patio . . . Mark was a breath of fresh air. He breezed in got the job done in no time, it turned out perfect & for less than we were quoted !!! Needless to say we are Pleased, Thanks Mark . . . read more

Double checked other reviews because it wasn't my experience as others. I have a security cameras all round the home where Landscaping was to take place. I was told one thing and watched another. They had to come back 3 times to get it close to right. The cost was high and quality of work done was poor. I was miss lead and clean up after the work wasn't done. Dirt and mud on patio and driveway. I can't with a good conscience recommend this service. read more

Mark with elite gardening is amazing. Like everyone who moves into a new construction house here in Bako, we moved into our dream house... with a bit chunk of dirt for a backyard. We got 4 other quotes for the yard before we finally called Mark. He was like a breath of fresh air! He was able to create our dream yard well within our budget. The other people we talked too either had prices twice our budget (and we didn't really want anything crazy) or one quoted prices so low, we were worried about the quality and whether he was really quoting us for everything. Marks price point was perfect for us. And his work was better than we could have hoped. He has been doing this for a long time and had fantastic ideas that made our yard even better. We wanted 6 fruit trees and he had great suggestions for more trees and shrubs to complete our yard since we really had no idea what else to plant. We asked for a fire pit area as well and wanted turf along our side yard so we could turn it into a play yard for our kids. The fountain with the gorgeous flower bed was all his idea. The most valuable part of using Mark though is that he is very accommodating. The yard was done very quickly, and the guys he employed to do the cement work, turf and our sliding gate, were also reasonably priced and provided the highest quality work. At one point we realized our cement boarder was further from the wall then we wanted, we told him, and he promptly fixed it. Also a few patches of grass died and he quickly fixed those as well. He added gorgeous lights to illuminate the trees. He also thinks ahead, so he added a special irrigation system to our trees so the roots will not grow up and ruin the cement boarder. On top of all this, he is easy to reach, extremely friendly and dedicated to making you happy. Make no mistake about it, his prices may seem too good to be true but he work is the best in town! read more

See all

My in-laws called Elite Landscape to do their backyard project, which was referred by the neighborhood. John came and said he could do the backyard. He mentioned he was planning to take over the Elite Landscape company after Mark retired. He asked for money up front; however, only half of the work was done. We have sent out emails, made calls, and sent messages to try to reach out to him regarding the incomplete work. We are so disappointed; there have been no phone calls from John, and he hasn't shown up. Additionally, we tried using the Elite Landscape phone number and email, but neither of them connected or received a response. They are not trustworthy, and we will never use their services again. read more

All I needed was a couple of repairs. I requested a quote and was called the same day, on a Sunday mind you. The next day John, the new owner, was out and fixing my stuff. Was done shortly after and was kind and professional the whole time. read more

I called Elite landscape to fix my sprinklers. John came said he could fix the sprinklers. He asked for money up front. He is buying the company. Mark sold the co to him. John put a French drain in. Had call them back they did a poor job on the French drain. John did a bad job on my sprinklers. I am loosing my flowers. Now have to go and water them by hand. Called John he said he would come and fix the sprinklers it has been 2 weeks no phone call from John and no show from JOHN. He talks a good talk. His word is no good!!! I will never use them again. I would by pass Elite landscape find someone that will do the job right the first time. You will be waiting for ever for them to come back to fix their bad work. read more

When I wanted to change my small courtyard, I searched for reviews for landscapers. Elite Came up as a 4 star rating in google, so I decided to give them a try. I am so very sorry that I did!!!! I gave Mark a huge budget to work within, and sadly I couldn't get Mark to do the work to my satisfaction. He picked out all my plants, without my agreement. I had no say in color of my plants, at all... I didn't want to mess with it, and just wanted someone, who I thought knew what he was doing, to do things right, without me having to watch what he was doing, to get it done right. Well, I wish that I had looked closely to the reviews, as they were all posted while he still had his crews working for him. He stated to me that he was retired, however he had many jobs going, trying to do them all by himself. He rushed through everything, and sadly I have dead plants, sprinkler leaks and lots of undone things that he should have taken care of... This will not be my last interaction with Mark Peterson, as I plan to take him to court to recoup some of the money he was paid. DO NOT use this company, they might have been great when there was a company, but no longer... If I could give him 0 stars, I would... Best of Luck J. Newkirk read more

We recently moved into a brand new house where our backyard was a big patch of dirt. Mark transformed it into a beautiful landscape. He was super informative and gave us great advice. He worked hard to get us the most bang for our buck. His crew was efficient and polite. The whole project took less time than anticipated. We couldn't be happier with the result. I can't recommend him enough! read more

Mark is just all around great. We highly recommend him! This was our first time having landscaping done, so we wanted to go with someone who was trustworthy. We also wanted someone who was patient and could teach us throughout the process by explaining the why of what he was doing. Mark is also very professional. Even though he is a busy person, he is very reachable and responsive through phone and/or text and will get back to you in a timely manner. He was on time with his deadline, and we were impressed how quickly he finished our yard. Most importantly, his prices are fair and reasonable. Mark is clearly passionate about his work and genuinely cares which is why he has great quality work. Thank you for your helping us transform our house into our home! read more

Problems with our sprinkler system prompted my wife to do a little research on local companies - she called Mark at Elite Garden and Landscape. He was able to send someone out the very next day. John from Elite called the next morning to let us know he was running a bit late - about 20 minutes - and he showed up just when he said he would. I know... big deal, right? It sort of is because the track record of those in the service industry have greatly disappointed me lately. John got it done quickly and it was a fair price. I know it was a simple job and that businesses like Elite don't make the bucks on little residential jobs like our - but I was impressed and truly grateful that Mark and John found the time to assist. Bad wiring and crap work from a backyard rehab botched by another company two years ago was the problem. John recognized this pretty quickly... reinforced what we suspected anyway... even dug up and capped a renegade line that the previous, failed company I just mentioned neglected to do. Got it done in about 20 minutes. No joke. John was professional and knew his stuff. I wish we had found and known about Elite two years ago when we had work done in the backyard originally... especially given we are still fixing their mistakes two years down the road. Should I need help again with the sprinkler system... or with any other larger project, we won't hesitate calling Mark at Elite again. I highly recommend Elite Garden and Landscape. read more

10 stars if I could give it!!!! If you are looking for someone who knows what they are doing, has great employees that take care and pride in what they do and a landscaper that listens to what you want then John and his crew are for you! After a couple nightmare quotes and promises never kept by other landscapers I was lucky enough to stumble upon Elite Landscape and couldn't be happier. John responds to each and every question/concern/change and does it with a smile! We have been waiting since February to get our landscaping done and once we got a quote from Elite, it was less than two weeks for them to start and got our place done in one week! We added multiple palm trees and plants to the base quote throughout the week and John was more than happy to scour every local nursery looking for exactly the right plants/trees/bushes etc. To top it off, american flag and veteran appreciation on his truck!! If you want a great local landscaper that knows customer service then Elite Landscaping is for you. Thank you John and your crew for the amazing job!!! read more

I would leave negative ZERO if I could. He just called me back, he said to be "professional" yet told me he"could not go to that part of town." Literally his words! We live in Haggin Oaks. He said it with such disdain. As if I asked him to go to an awful area. In shock... would love to know what he considers a nice neighborhood if ours is so bad. Very rude! If you live in any Oaks (Seven, Haggin etc) don't call this guy. read more

I recently had Elite lay some concrete on the side of my house, replace some old sprinkler valves, and re sod my back yard. Mark came out and gave me an honest and fair estimate for the work I needed. Mark, and his employees, were very knowledgeable and patient during the entire job. They gave my wife and I exactly what we wanted in our backyard, and for a fair price. If you're looking for a landscape contractor, give Elite a call! read more

Elite did a fantastic job on my new house. Planted shrubs, trees, put in a planter, etc. These guys were very professional and when the job was complete left as friends. These guys are just awesome. read more

Five stars is not enough to describe this company. I had the pleasure to work with Edgar on my mother's home this summer. The yard had been neglected for some time . Edger and his team did a fantastic job. In two days my moms landscape is beautiful. I live out of state and Edgar communicated with me the whole time . He sent pictures as the job progressed . If your worried about getting the right person working on your place , you can trust Elite to do what they say in a professional and kind way . I honestly can't believe how lucky I feel to have worked with Edgar . I truly hope to see this kind honest and talented person again . read more

Would not recommend!! Replaced 3 hedges that were not the same, and they died immediately. He wouldn't do anything about it.

Called to make an appt. for sprinkler reapair and was told that they were too busy and I needed to call someone else.

So happy we were refereed to Mark/Elite Garden and Landscape. They came highly recommended by several people we know and I STILL can't believe how much they exceeded our expectations. Our yard looks like a masterpiece thanks to Elite Landscapes. I honestly can't say enough good things about Mark and his crew. Extremely honest, hardworking, clean, reliable, efficient, diligent, intelligent, and very friendly. I will refer them to anyone and everyone. Thanks again Mark! read more

My husband and I purchased our first home and we needed someone to completely landscape our backyard. Mark came out and gave us an estimate with great ideas at a reasonable price. We had a cement patio, cement boarders, sprinklers, retaining wall, and grass put in. He made the process of landscaping our backyard extremely enjoyable and my husband and I love our backyard. He and his son are extremely hard working, reliable, talented, and trustworthy. We are looking forward to having him do our front yard! We definitely recommend Elite Landscaping to anyone who needs landscaping services. read more

Mark's services are really punctual and affordable, and he's very good at what he does. My husband and I renovated a house in the Oleander District that needed some serious TLC before we put it on the market for sale. Mark has a lot of experience with those kinds of jobs and made great recommendations for bringing the property up to snuff before we sold it. We received an offer the first week it went up on MLS, and we know a good part of that is attributed to Mark's efficient and attractive work. read more
