Very happy with how nice my lawn looks. Marcello is very knowledgeable about plants. He does an excellent job removing entire weeds, not just turning dirt over in beds. Beautiful job trimming bushes. Highly recommend.

Amazing work. My yard was in rough shape and they really transformed it and worked within my budget. Got it done quickly. Highly recommend.
Marcello and his friendly crew did a great job with design, removing brush and installation of a new bed. All work done to our satisfaction.
They did a great job on our hedges. They were on time , courteous and answered any questions we had. 100% recommend .
Marcello and his team were top-tier from start to finish. They truly listened to our vision, brought expert recommendations, and communicated directly with total professionalism every step of the way. Our lawn looks absolutely incredible now—completely transformed. We’ll definitely be hiring Rebel Gardener for future projects and can’t recommend them enough for any landscaping needs!
I highly recommend Marcello for landscaping! He came by, looked at my flower bed, and took the time to ask what I was looking for. Later that day, he sent me a picture showing his vision for my garden, and it was exactly what I had in mind! He also worked with my budget, which I really appreciated. Marcello was on time, professional, and completed everything—and more—in just one day. My flower bed came out beautiful, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I will definitely recommend Marcello to anyone looking for great landscaping work!
Great communication. Answered all questions. Arrived on time and did an outstanding job.
I couldn’t be happier with the transformation that Rebel Gardener brought to my home. What was once a fairly simple front yard has been completely elevated into a polished, thoughtfully designed space that truly enhances the entire property. The attention to detail is incredible—from the clean, curved edging along the walkway to the perfectly placed plantings that add both texture and color without feeling overcrowded. The mix of shrubs, flowers, and greenery gives the house a warm, welcoming feel while still looking neat and intentional. The hydrangeas and low plantings especially stand out and tie everything together beautifully. Beyond just aesthetics, the work feels professional and well-planned. Everything looks balanced, healthy, and easy to maintain, which was really important to me. Even small touches—like the symmetry near the front window and the way the beds frame the house—make a huge difference in curb appeal. Rebel Gardener truly has an eye for design and takes pride in their work. I’ve gotten so many compliments already, and it honestly makes me smile every time I pull into the driveway. Highly recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor space!
The best of the best. Everything I requested was completed with a high level of professionalism and respect. I cannot recommend them enough.
I couldn't be happier with the work done on my landscaping project. From the beginning, he was responsive, professional, and took the time to discuss plant selections and make thoughtful recommendations based on my goals for the look of the landscape. The installation included new front foundation plantings and a complete redesign along my driveway, and the finished product exceeded my expectations. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently on what ended up being one of the hottest days of the week, paid attention to detail, and left everything clean when they were finished. What I appreciated most was that they weren't just focused on getting the job done, they genuinely cared about creating a landscape that would look great not only now but for years to come. His advice on plant selection and maintenance was extremely helpful and showed his experience. The quality of the work, professionalism, communication, and overall value were outstanding. I highly recommend this team to anyone looking for landscaping services.
We had a good experience with The Rebel Gardner. Our landscaping looks great! We would recommend his services.
I couldn’t be happier with the work Marcello did on my lawn. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. The grading and leveling came out even better than I expected — the yard looks completely transformed and finally drains properly. What really stood out was how Marcello took the time to explain everything he was doing and why, which made me feel confident I was getting the job done right. Professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. I’d absolutely recommend Marcello to anyone looking to improve their lawn.
so happy with this company they came when they said they would left everything clean and neat my bushes look beautiful will definitely be using them again
Very responsive, easy to work with, and did great work!
I feel incredibly lucky to have found Marcello. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and transparent throughout the entire process. As a first-time homeowner, there were many things I didn’t fully understand, but Marcello took the time to explain everything clearly and offered thoughtful, honest recommendations. Working with him gave me the confidence to manage issues I would have otherwise felt overwhelmed by. I truly appreciate his expertise and guidance.
Marcello, who runs rebel gardeners, is an amazing person. He is super smart, nice, and efficient. He perfectly assembled the six pieces of furniture. I could not be more pleased. He was very fair in his price . In other words, great value. If I have any additional work in the future, he would be the person I would call.
I am so so happy with the service I received! My yard looks beautiful!
I never tried thumbtack before but my experience was wonderful. These guys did a great job on my fall cleanup.
Did a fantastic job removing a tree at a great price! Very pleased!
We hired this landscaping company to plant eight privacy trees in our front yard, and they did an outstanding job. The team was professional, thorough, and made sure everything was done the right way—from spacing each tree evenly to keeping the proper distance from the road. The attention to detail really shows in how beautiful and balanced the layout looks now. I’m so happy with their work and would definitely hire them again for future projects.
