Mariangelo (aka Mario) was born in the beautiful, mountainous region of Northern Italy, from where he draws a great deal of inspiration.

He moved to England, where he lives in West Yorkshire with its stunning contrasts of hills, valleys, quaint, modern, historical and traditional features, which means that his imagination for garden creations has no restriction.

Mario has developed his business in North Leeds over the past 16 years; he has studied at the famous Harlow Carr Gardens in Harrogate, North Yorkshire where he achieved credits towards Leeds University.

He further studied at Shipley College in West Yorkshire where he received an OCNW Level 3 qualification in Garden Design.

The photograph shows Mario with a Gold Medal awarded to him in July 2005 at the very prestigious Great Yorkshire Show where his designs have been exhibited.

Mario has imagination and enthusiasm that abounds – he continues to fulfil the brief set by his clients yet manages to create a unique difference in every project.

He acts as a consultant and advises on the best materials to use, the most natural to blend in with the surrounding area and the property.

With an extensive knowledge of plants and shrubs Mario regularly visits the nursery or garden centres with clients to give advice on the most suitable trees, plants, shrubs and flowers for their garden.  He also discusses and advises on the most suitable water features, pots or garden structures that blend with other features of their garden.
