Mark Cunningham has been in the landscape trade since 1988. Over the years he has developed designs and installations around a "form follows function" philosophy. Mark considers seasonal bloom times, ph balances, drainage, light requirements, and so on, as they all have a direct influence on the outcome of a design.
Having a good background in horticulture allows Mark to design the landscape around the function of the plant material chosen. To create a sustainable landscape, a good understanding of each plant's characteristics, habits, and how well it will tolerate its environment is needed. These basic principles ultimately allow for a more sustainable landscape to be enjoyed without overcrowding in years to come.

Nightscapes (Landscape Accent Lighting) is an aesthetically pleasing method to enhance any feature in your landscape.

Custom outdoor lighting designs from the Imagination Landscapes design team give you the best options for your patio, water feature, or other landscape focal point in need of illumination.
The term softscape is used to describe non-permanent features that are not structural; they are fluid and moving - changing over time. Softscape is essentially the living and animated part of the landscape such as trees, shrubs, plants, soil, flowerbeds, mulch, grass, and more. While softscaping may sound, theoretically, like the less important landscape design element, it is anything but.
Hardscape is the term used to describe solid, hard elements that tend to remain the same for many years. This includes landscape design elements such as walkways, retaining walls, rocks, pavers, driveways, arbors, gates, outdoor kitchens, decks, water features, and more. Hardscaping is more than simple landscaping because it involves construction.

Adding a fire pit to your personal paradise provides a unique, comfortable space that allows you, your family, and friends to enjoy the season just that much longer.

The first project Mark did for us improved our yard tremendously. The landscaping, rock work and lighting was perfect. We couldn't wait to ask him to come back and do the lighting and a native plant bed in front of our home. From concept, review through execution, we have been more than pleased with his skilled, creative work. We will be coming back for more as we update the dated landscaping at our century old home.

Working with Mark on our front yard project was a pleasant and professional experience. Mark was attentive to the details of our project and very patient with us. He made himself available to us for consult on ideas and was very easy to reach by phone or text to discuss or answer questions. He was willing to meet us on weekend to look for rocks and mulch options to accommodate our schedule. The design and install looks amazing and we are overall very happy with our final look. Give him a call if you have a project, you won’t regret it!

Mark was very professional from our first meeting. He did a wonderful job creating a space in our back yard that we will use for years to come. It turned out absolutely amazing. He was very understanding of our budget and was able to stay within that! I would highly recommend Mark and Imagination Landscapes!
