“The house flows incredibly well together,” says the owner. “But what really does it for me is the sight when I’m sitting on the patio at sunset with the lights of the Valley glowing below and planes from Scottsdale Airport flying above. It’s moments like these that make me appreciate the home—and all the hard work that went into it—even more.”

“Coming from Chicago, to be able to use our outdoor areas year-round is a real treat,” Jay says. “I travel extensively, and when I come home I feel like I am on vacation here. It makes the grind worth it.”

“Each plant is a piece of art itself, and with Mark Wdowiak’s help, we have been able to curate an ever-changing show,” says Jay. “Every window is a vignette to the outside,” Dale notes. “There isn’t a room in the house that you don’t look out and see a great garden.”

“We went to Hawaii, they installed the landscape, and the first thing we said when we returned home was ‘Wow!’” says Mark Fisher.

“We switched all lighting to energy-efficient LED bulbs or fixtures, and programmable timers keep everything in sync,” comments the husband. “Even when we weren’t exactly sure what we wanted, Marc listened and was able to incorporate our ideas,” she says happily.

“Mark Wdowiak values collaboration, so we were involved as the project evolved,” comments Chris. “He has great communication with his crew, and we experienced no headaches with this renovation. In fact, I tell friends that I was happy to write him a check.”
