Marak is a trade school graduate with 15+ years building outdoor spaces. He is not a salesperson who disappears after the estimate — he is on site running the crew.
Built for Clark County ground
Our soil is heavy clay and we get roughly 40 inches of rain a year. Every patio, wall and lawn we install is built on a drainage-first base so it does not heave, sink or pond in February.
Fixed written quotes
You get an itemized scope and a fixed price in writing. No hourly creep, no surprise change orders for work we should have caught during the walkthrough.
What we build
One crew for the whole yard
Most yards need more than one trade. We handle the grading, the drainage, the hardscape and the planting in the right order, so you are not coordinating four contractors who each blame the last one.
Clark County is a hard place to build a yard, and most people find that out too late
We sit on heavy clay and take roughly forty inches of rain a year, nearly all of it between October and May. Clay does not drain. Water that gets under a patio, behind a wall or into a lawn has nowhere to go, and every winter it does damage that does not show up until spring.
That is why so much of what we get called out to fix is two or three years old. A patio laid on loose sand that has settled into waves. A retaining wall with no drain rock behind it that is now leaning into the yard. A lawn rolled over compacted builder subgrade that thinned out in its second August. None of those failed because of bad materials. They failed because the part nobody sees was skipped.
We build the invisible part properly: excavation to real subgrade, geotextile separation over clay, compacted base in lifts, drain rock and pipe behind every wall, and positive drainage away from your foundation on everything. It is slower and it costs more on day one. It is also the only version that is still flat in ten years.
How working with us goes
We walk it with you. On site, looking at grade, drainage, access and what you actually want to use the space for.
You get a fixed written scope. Itemized, so you can see what is included and what is not.
We build it with the owner on site. Not a salesperson who hands you off to a crew you have never met.
We clean up properly. Spoils hauled, site swept, and a walkthrough before we ask you for the final payment.
What clients say
Five stars, from people who let us in their back yard

Marak did a FANTASTIC job from start to finish. If I could I’d give him 10 stars. He designed and built the garden bed. He filled it with good soil; and he transplanted my irises and some other plants. He was great at communicating; he was on time; he cleaned up. His prices were reasonable (in middle of quotes I got). I’d use him again in a New York minute.

Marak and his team did a great job for our backyard and side yard. Very good craftsmanship and work quality. We will definitely hire them again for future projects!

Marak did such a great job for me. He listened to what I wanted and made suggestions for things I didn't think about. He was always there when he said he would be and worked so fast. I highly recommend!!!
