“Choose a job you love, and you will never
have to work a day in your life” - Confucius

One of the San Francisco Bay Area’s most sought-after landscape designers, Ahmed Hassan, Born Ahmad Hassan, has spent over 20 years mastering the business of landscaping and home improvement. His forte is residential design, where he leans heavily on his experience and knowledge of plant identification and soils, as well as irrigation and maintenance.

Ahmed Hassan has a unique quality – he has the privilege of sharing his Life’s Work with thousands of TV viewers. On screen, Ahmed shares his valuable expertise as host on three DIY Network series: Yard Crashers (now in its 4th season), Blog Cabin, and the newly developed Turf Wars (currently in production of the 1st season). Off screen, Ahmed runs Ahmad Hassan Landscaping Services, a complete landscape design and installation company offering seasonal maintenance, improvements and garden consultation services.

The one thing Ahmed loves as much as landscaping, if not more, is roller-skating. “Spiritually speaking, landscaping allows me to create and connect with the earth while roller skating frees me and allows me to fly (or rather roll). Most folks enjoy dancing, I just prefer to do it on wheels."

Ahmed, which means Praiseworthy One, was born into a family of independent thinking entrepreneurs who laid out a clear path for how to reach his destiny: choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.

As a young boy, Ahmed lived in rural areas of California, working alongside his father and other role models who used their hands to earn their living. He entered the world of gardening at the age of 15, primarily focusing on landscaping maintenance. In 1992, Ahmed started his first gardening and maintenance business, Hassan Gardening.

Ahmed is a licensed landscape contractor and considers himself a “career student”. In 2010, expect to see more of Ahmed in the classroom: teaching classes at local colleges and learning centers, Guest Speaker at home and garden shows throughout the country and facilitating community garden projects with students of all ages. He firmly believes in giving as a way of receiving, and willingly offers his consultation services to other gardeners and landscapers

His clients are everyday people who enjoy warm and inviting spaces. Ahmed feels the key to his success is that gardening is his first love, and he’s remained true to his first love throughout the years. Ahmed currently lives in Northern California with his wife and three children.
