Marco Luna Valente

Lead Horticulturist

With over 23 years of experience in the landscaping industry, Marco Antonio Luna Valente is one of the most tenured and valued members of the Roots team. His career began at Styers Nursery, where he honed his skills long before the transition to Terrain in 2008. Over the years, Marco has built lasting relationships with both clients and colleagues, earning a reputation for his reliability, responsibility, and willingness to help.

Originally from La Palma, Guerrero, Mexico, Marco developed a strong work ethic from a young age, contributing to his family’s household while pursuing his education. After high school, he worked full-time cultivating corn, hibiscus, and seasonal fruits before moving to Pennsylvania in 2002 to join Styers Landscaping. His deep-rooted experience and hands-on expertise make him an integral part of the team.

Now residing in Delaware with his wife and two children, Marco values both his work and family above all else. In his free time, he enjoys spending time outdoors, often gathering with loved ones for a classic carne asada.
