Mark replaced 22 feet of fencing, installed a 6 foot gate. Dug out existing lawn, leveled, made a sand base and installed approximately 400 6 by 9 pavers to create a patio/courtyard for our townhouse rental. Member Comments: Mark was very easy to work with. He is a professional, and quite good. His communication skills are excellent, always kept us informed of his progress. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting quality work done.
Designed a flagstone extension to our slab patio. Excavated, put in retention wall, flagstones, redid gravel walkway, driveway. Fixed our self installed patio without laughing too much. Member Comments: Prompt response to initial inquiry. Ability to accept credit cards would have hastened the project beginning. Read More
Mark did a great job repairing our fence, including matching the paint on some new parts to the existing fence. He did the work on time and on budget. Great.
Yard was cleaned and prepared, a beautiful paver patio was installed, and a short fence/retaining wall was installed, play structure was re-assembled. Member Comments: Mark was fantastic. He is very capable, affordable (the lowest bid we got), and responsive to the needs of the client. Read More
I got Mark’s name and contact info from Angie’s list. I called him to ask for a bid on trimming a hedge. He said he mostly did hardscapes now but immediately followed with, “work is work, though.” I liked his attitude right away. He came out as promised and we set a date and time one month out. He was punctual, did a great job and communicated well with me. He genuinely wanted to hear if I was satisfied with his work and if I wanted him to trim any more etc. He is very gracious and easy going yet a hard worker and good at what he does. He went beyond the call of duty but chatting with the adjoining neighbor and got them to contribute to the total cost. Well done!
Fantastic. Mark is very professional, attentive to details and conscientious about the quality of his work. He fabricated gates for our driveway to allow the kids to ride bikes and be contained, that are great. He designed them after speaking to us about what we wanted and they are perfect.
It took a little while to get Mark out to do the estimate, he seemed a little swamped by work, took several days to get back to me after the initial contact and took a little while longer to get him to actually look at the yard. His estimate came in well under everyone else’s, he was able to schedule the work right away after he gave me the bid and the results look phenomenal. It should be noted that maintaining hedges isn’t really the bulk of what he does, he does more landscape work normally.
Mark replaced a backyard cedar fence and gate. He also re-mortared a weight-bearing brick walls for my front steps. In addition, he hauled away brush/small tree stumps and left the work area clean and landscaped. Member Comments:
Mark was prompt and on schedule from estimate through finish of the work. He has a pleasant and professional approach to his work. I was very happy w/the quality job he performed. I don’t have a
comparison for costs because I didn’t get other estimates and so scored it N/A. I just contacted Altered Earth because Mark was able to handle both the fencing and mortar work.
From beginning to end, from the estimate to the final clean up, from the business end to the work itself, all went very well. He was responsive to phone calls and emails, was creative on the job and worked hard. Mark does more than fencing, he does hardscaping as well. I highly recommend him.
Mark excavated and cleared out a concrete parking pad and patio area in our back yard, poured a concrete retaining wall, backfilled the yard, laid sod, built two raised garden beds, and created a paver and stone pathway in our side yard.

Mark did a great job in tearing out the mock-retaining wall installed by a previous owner and installed a super solid wall with a few steps. It looks great and I know it will last forever. Mark is very professional, responsive and did the job at a very fair price.
Mark and his team came out for an initial cleanup of plants and shrubs on our property that had gotten out of hand. They trimmed bushes, pruned dead bits off a variety of types of plants, raked leaves, edged paths, and pulled weeds. They bagged up all the debris and brought it up to our driveway. (We live on a steep hill.) Read More
We love our fence! The project took approximately 4 days. Mark was very careful of every detail and measured carefully. He also took the time to walk me through several spacing options, fence cap choices, and how to address things like grade and our neighbor’s property line. It turned out exactly & better than expected. We would definitely use them again for other landscape related projects.
Job started with major brush / ivy / blackberry removal on steep slope in my back yard. 3 retaining walls were then built, and a fence was built on 2 sides of my property. My lower neighbors had inadvertently built a retaining wall that encroched on my property over 10 feet at the maximum and I wanted to not only regain that land but also keep a civil relationship with those neighbors, so I also needed someone who was willing to deal with this dicey situation….
