Ahmed Hassan, Expert landscape designer, Orchard Supply Hardware  

Landscape designer Ahmed Hassan discovered his love of gardening and the outdoors at the young age of 10. To many children, mowing lawns, trimming shrubs, and stacking wood would be considered mundane chores. For Hassan, these activities brought him closer to what he considers his purpose today: teaching the importance of hard work and how to co-exist with nature.

An accredited landscape designer and gardener, Hassan owns and operates his own landscape design and installation firm in Sacramento. Since 2008, he has hosted DIY Network’s Yard Crashers and collaborated on many landscape and construction projects across the country. Each week, his engaging personality, his love of everything green, and his amazing backyard transformations charm millions of viewers. Hassan has also served as a guest contributor for the CBS Early Show, NBC’s Today Show, and HGTV Magazine. The East Bay native currently resides in Sacramento with his family.
