Proprietor David Shamanik
has been working with gardens in the Bay Area for over a decade. He began his career as a pruner/tree specialist and it remains a favorite part of his work with plants.
Besides a base of regular maintenance gardens, Shape of the Earth completes several large-scale projects annually. The work often includes irrigation, lighting, stone work / hardscape and water features along with design and plant selection.
No job is too big or small and we enjoy whatever challenge comes up. Though most of the work is done by David personally, we also have some talented people on the team. We pay strong attention to detail and pride ourselves in providing the very best customer service.
The company's number one goal is to create a natural yet refined look. David will bring an artistic touch to your garden with lighting, shape, texture and creative materials. In his career David has also headed several projects in Hawaii as well as several rural projects here in California. Being a fan of tropical plants, he also does interior plant care and keeps many beautiful plants at home and for his clients. This year Shape of the Earth will be moving towards solar gardens which use the sun to power both yard lighting and irrigation.
Shape of the Earth is currently expanding to Marin county. We're looking forward to serving new clients in the San Raphael, Mill Valley and Corte Madeira areas. Our San Francisco clients are centered in the Noe Valley, North Beach, Pacific Heights and Castro districts of San Francisco.
