Celebrity Landscape Designer Ahmed Hassan to Headline the Fall South Bay Home & Garden Show

The Fall South Bay Home & Garden Show is excited to announce their headlining performer, DIY Network Star Ahmed Hassan, for its upcoming show September 10-12 at the Santa Clara Convention Center.

Hassan is one of the Bay Area's most sought-after young landscape designers, and not just because he is a local area native. With over 20 years experience in the field of lanscaping and home improvement, Hassan is a licensed contractor and certified landscape technician who believes that a great home starts with a solid lanscape. He holds a certificate in ornamental horticulture and maintains a qualified applicators certification for pest control.

On screen, Ahmed shares his valuable expertise as host on three DIY Network series, Yard Crashers, Blog Cabin and the newly developed Turf War. Off screen, Ahmed runs Ahmed Hassan Landscaping Services, a complete landscape design and installation company offering seasonal maintence, improvements and garden consultation services. He is also a frequent contributor on the CBS Early Show.

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 landscape maintence. In 1992, Ahmed started his first business, and he currently resides today in Northern California with his wife and three children.
