About Us

Landscaping has never felt like a job, I find it relaxing and fulfilling. My passion is to encourage others to find their love for landscaping, gardening, and outdoor living if they have not made that discovery yet. The way to do that is to provide an abundant resource to encourage all of that.

That was my motivation to establish Paulino Gardens, the bountiful resource surrounding landscaping, gardening, and outdoor living. Another purpose of the site is to provide ample information and inspiration to avid landscapers and gardeners.

Paulino Gardens provides you with the elite information you need on landscaping advice, as well as gardening and information on flowers and plants. The site also provides you with much information on treehouses, birdhouses, and designing your garden.

There is also a hands-on review section for landscaping and gardening tools and equipment and outdoor furniture and appliances written and recommended by the contributors and myself.
