About Zak Bloom
I provide professional garden design and landscape services throughout the Bay Area, including Richmond, Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco, and Marin County. With a commitment to quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design, I help clients transform outdoor spaces into beautiful, functional environments. Services include: •Custom garden design and installation •Expert planting and plant selection •Efficient irrigation system design and setup •Comprehensive garden maintenance, including weeding, trimming, and pruning •Hardscaping such as pavers, gravel, tile, stone walls, and raised beds •Site preparation, demolition, and debris removal Whether you’re looking for a complete landscape transformation or ongoing care, I deliver reliable service, strong attention to detail, and results that enhance the value and beauty of your property. About me: I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Design from the University of Arizona in 2009, and soon after followed a calling to work more closely with the natural world. That path led me to Hawai‘i, where I immersed myself in a botanical paradise and trained alongside experienced farmers and gardeners, gaining hands-on knowledge of diverse plant ecosystems. My journey continued in San Francisco and throughout the greater Bay Area, where I collaborated with some of the region’s most talented garden professionals. There, I refined my approach to garden design—blending artistry with environmental stewardship, deep botanical expertise, and a thoughtful understanding of each client’s unique vision. Now living in Oakland, I am inspired by the beauty and resilience of the climate and dedicated to creating landscapes that honor and thrive within this extraordinary environment. I believe every garden is a living work of art—an extension of the people who inhabit it. Whether you’re dreaming of a serene retreat, a vibrant habitat, or a beautifully curated outdoor space, I bring meticulous attention to detail, creativity, and genuine care to every project. If you value craftsmanship, sustainability, and a designer who listens as carefully as they create, I would love to help bring your garden to life. Let’s start the conversation.
Reviews
I am delighted to have found a gardener for my regular gardening needs. Zak knows his stuff!
Zak was very friendly and his work was great! He cleared six months of weed overgrowth from our front yard beautifully maintaining our original plants. His value for cost is unmatched.
Zach did an amazing job with our front lawn. we're getting ready to put our house on the market and so we really wanted to have our front yard not just weeded but also trimmed according to what the plants needed. Zac did all of that and more. plus bagged all the needed trimmings for proper disposal. we're planning on using him again.
Zak did an excellent job. On time and completed the job in a timely manner. Highly recommend.
Just starting. But, he is very up front and specific with clear communication and documentation. Feels good.
Zak did a fantastic job helping us with a yard cleanup, mulching, and getting ready for installing pavers. He was punctual, professional, and great to work with. Highly recommend!
Responsive, worked with us on the design, followed through and completed everything at a good price.
Zak is amazing! He is nothing short of a miracle worker! After the horrific storms we experienced in the Bay Area this past Winter, a good number of my landscaping didn't make it. Mulch was washed away and most plants died. Zak came in and gave 3 areas total makeovers. His artistic side and knowledge of what plants to plant and where to put them is pretty astounding! My sweet little rock garden out back is a show stopper. Zak is the real deal!
Hired for yard clean up and trim back plants. Pics below of before and after.
Zak did a great job on my yard. I will definitely be hiring him again soon!
Zak did a great job. It was a big task to remove 7 large oleanders and make several trips to the dumps. We highly recommend him.
