Philosophy

Working as a team, we integrate your ideas with our experience and professional knowledge. We believe landscapes, when properly designed and constructed, enhance the value of the surrounding environment. Landscaping should add value to your home, not detract from it. Professionally designed and installed landscaping will increase the value of your home by 6 to 12 %. In fact, landscaping is one of the few home improvements you can make that not only adds value immediately but also increases in value as years go by. Decor inside your home has a tendency to go out of style while plantings in your landscape grow more full and robust over time. Our objective is to achieve maximum value and balance to the project within defined cost parameters.

 

History

Tom Berg established Berg's Landscaping in 1978 as a one-person, one-client landscape maintenance firm. By emphasizing service, his one maintenance client became the first design/build client. Ultimately, landscape maintenance was discontinued and a base of satisfied clients evolved and with the addition of a qualified staff, Berg's Landscaping became a competitive authority in the landscape design/build industry.

 

In 2007, Jeff Svik and John Silvernale purchased Berg's Landscaping from Tom Berg. Both John and Jeff have been long-standing employees with the company. Jeff has a B.S. degree in horticulture from the University of Nebraska and John has a B.L.A. degree in landscape architecture from Michigan State University. John is also a registered landscape architect in the state of Washington.

 

Our professionalism is exemplified by our support of WALP (Washington Association of Landscape Professionals) and the Northwest Flower and Garden Show, and the Master Builder's Association. We are founding members of WALP. Numerous awards from WALP and the Northwest Flower and Garden Show, and the Master Builder's Association are a tribute to our staff and clients.
